THE EARLY RELATIONSHIP OF ISRAEL AND LEBANESE CHRISTIANS: The Jewish History Channel covers a little-discussed topic, such as the Maronite Archbishop Ignace Mubarak's statement to the UNSCOP commission on August 5, 1947:

It is an incontestable historical fact that Palestine was the home of the Jew and of the first Christians. None of them was of Arab origin. By the brutal force of conquest they were forced to become converts to the Moslem religion, That is the origin of the Arabs in that country. Can one deduce from that that Palestine is Arab or that it ever was Arab?

I don't suppose there's any chance the descendants of these Arab colonists and occupiers in Palestine will adapt Ahmadinejad's advice and go back where they came from...
