The entire region was forced. England/France divied up the Ottoman Empire after WWI. Jews, having long been persecuted, wanted a homeland to escape persecution. There were many promises made to the Jews to create a homeland. Recall the Balfour Declaration, in which the Brits finally concured that there should be a Jewish homeland. Of course, they changed their mind, and 6 million Jews were killed shortly thereafter in the Holocaust.

The Arabs had an opportunity to have their own "Palestinian" homeland. They chose not to because they wanted to drive the Jews into the ocean and claim all the land for themselves. The land known as Palestine actually became part of Jordan.
So why doesn't Jordan want the land back?

Israel acquired the land in the disputed/occupied terrotories after being attacked time and again by its hostile arab neighbors.

Jews were ethnically cleansed from every Arab and Muslim country in the middle east, but no one talks about that. Most of Israel's population (save for recent waves of Russian immigration) came from Muslim countries that were persectuing them.

Why has Jordan done so little to ease the refugee situation when 70% of Jordanians now consider themselves Palestinians?

It's a very complicated situation that's very hard for anyone who has not lived in the Middle East to comprehend.

Ok Jeremy, on these points all I can reply is "well said"

I agree that Jews have been fucked for a very very very long time, by many different people...

However it doesn't necessarily excuse the current fucking they're doing to their neighbors, however historically deserved...

Dude, I'd hate to see the day the Native Americans use this same concept back on whitey in this country... But who's gonna sell them their f-16s & apaches? ;)
