The thing is, it isn't really the palistinians fault.
When the jews first started emigrating back to the area, (called Transjordan at the time), there was no real goverment, it was just an area mostly owned by absentee landlords from Syria and Jordan. Those landlords sold the crappiest swamps at triple the prices to the incoming jews, who promptly drained them using modern techniques and started collective farms that flourished.
The local arabs became alarmed at having Jews around, and started attacking them. Then, as the Jewish population reached a critical mass, and the state of Isreal was coming into existance, the surrounding Arab countries told the Arabs living in that area to come out of there, and then the other arabs would arm them and fight with them, and "sweep the jews back into the sea".
The Jews were actually BEGGING them not to leave....and the ones that didn't became full isreali citizens, and have served in the Kinesitt just like any other citizen.
The ones that left, were herded into camps by the other Arab countries. The promised attacks that would destroy isreal either did not happen at all or failed miserably.
After that, the Arab countries that had seduced these people into leaving in the first place, then kept them in those camps, denying them any citizenship, let alone education, sewage, electricity, etc...
They have been kept there by the arabs for 4 generations now.....just breeding fanatical hatred against Isreal, and acting as the cannon fodder and shock troops for the rest of the Arab world.

I think you are a fool...
Not for the reasons others are attacking you, but for your revisionist history lesson.
That coupled with the fact that you think that there is a single 'Arab state' that gives a shit about 'Palestinians'. |
