The Palestinians were living in Palestine. That's why they're called "Palestinians".


You REALLY need a better education....your grasp of history SUCKS.

The region was known as "transjordan" and it wasn't a country. It was a region of warring tribes that was being fought over by the French and the British. When the Jews started to emigrate there, they were sold the worst land around at hugely infltaed prices by the absentee landlords from other areas of the middle east. They started draining the swamps and fixing things up, and they WANTED the locals to stick around, and build with them.

But, of course, they were Jews and the Arabs couldn't live with that. The rest of the middle east persuaded the locals to leave, and they would arm them and fight with them and togther they would all "sweep the jews into the sea". Of course it didn't work. The :Palastinians" that stayed became part of Isreal and have even served in the Kennesit. The ones that left were kept in refugee camps by their arab friends, denied hospitals and schools....or even the freedom to leave. They were left there to rot and breed 3 generations of hatefull fanatics that the rest of the middle east could use against Isreal.

Learn some history.......and spread out your sources!
