Palestinians were predominantly Christian and lived in the Country called Jordan. After fomenting insurrection and trying to pull a revolution of in Jordan, Jordan kicked them out and gave them the West Bank, they were lead by Yasser Arafat who converted to Muslim to get support from Arab Muslims.
That’s how it plays out in my head.
What? Are you saying that they are all millennials, educated in the United States
Jerusalem was the capital of Jews long before any any of the current countries in the world even existed, and long before even any Muslim ever existed.
“set the Middle East aflame”
Let the damned thing burn then.
Well said....sounds exactly correct to me. My yrs in the ME showed me to expect anything.
Post of the day award!
1 Chronicles 23:25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever.
I’m very optimistic about what’s happening in the Middle East. We could see one hell of a cultural shift in a fairly short amount of time. Salman appears to be an effective driving force and Trump is playing along instead of seizing control and screwing it up in order to look like he’s “doing something.”
I spent about 6 years in the ME. On the street and behind closed doors there is no love for the Palestinian. Generally viewed as troublemakers and used as pawns.. That was from Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt..
>>Riots in the West Bank and Gaza resulted in . . . about 20 rockets being fired at Israel from Gaza,
So in other words, Thursday.

Even on liberal reddit that was the reaction to the rioting. No one gives a damn about the Palirats.
educated Muslims realize that the Fakestinian claims are all lies. and the Fakestinians cost Muslims a great deal... of money, lost respect and credibility all around the world.
AND...any Muslim who’s read his or her Koran knows that Allah has given the Promised Land (all of it) to the Jewish People.
The Egyptians have an even lower opinion of them.
I had heard they were mainly from Jordan and the Jordanians don’t want them back either.
Yep....spent a few yrs there too.
They did not end up in what the Arabs considered the back end of beyond because they were highly successful members of the community.
At best they were dirt farmers at worse outright criminals that no one was interested enough to chase down.
Why should that be Israel's problem?
The stupid ones listened to their fellow Arabs who told them to leave, that they would squash Israel, kill all the Jews and they could move back in and get all the loot.
Didn't quite work out as planed.
So there they were, out of their homes, across the border and Israel was not going to let them back in. They had openly declared themselves enemies.
The nations that attacked Israel suddenly found these undesirables parked on their doorstep permanently. They didn't like it much.
So they passed laws that "Palestinians" could not own property or open businesses or do a bunch of other things to encourage them to "push the Jews into the sea".
And here we are.
It was a bit more complicated then that but not much.
O-kay.
