So...there's this tribe of people called "the jews" who have, off and on, occupied the sand trap also known as Israel and other parts of the Middle East?  You cite their longstanding presence there and religious claims to the land as well as secular claims as the justification for their being there and pushing the boundries of their occupation back into ancient areas they used to occupy.

Am I right so far?  Good.

Now, there's this other ethnic group of peoples I know about that have continuously occupied this other region for perhaps many thousands of years longer than the jews, are so completely into the land they have settled that the land itself is part of their faith, intrinsically and inseparably. 

Currently they are being held in check on small and marginal areas, where their birthright, and indeed the very essence of their faith extends far far beyond those regions.  And worse, they are being held there be very recent invaders.

Should we support their efforts to expand their boundaries, like Israel?  And if not, why not?
