It’s easy to distinguish the 2 sides of the Palistine dispute. One side develops the land. The other blows it up.
Can’t be too hard to figure out.
Some research into Arafat's uncle, the Grand Mufti, and his association with Nazi Germany is quite an eye opener.
The only area they deserve is 300 miles west of Israel.
Israel will never cease to exist. God will protect them.
Like illegals wanting a separate state in California.
Well stated
“”Past residents have always “rewarded” them in advance for making phony agreements that they never keep.””
You probably meant “past presidents” - and don’t forget one in particular was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize before he’d done a thing.. Not that he did anything after that either! Well, constructive for the U. S., anyway....
“It’s time for the USA to stop the madness and stop financing terrorists wherever they may be - in the mid-east or right here in the USA.”.....
I believe that is on President Trump’s bucket list.
This entire 70 year debacle is the fault of the UN and is the perfect example for why the UN needs to be dissolved.
End all discussion of a “two-state solution”. It hasn’t happened by now because it can’t and won’t happen. Ever. Time to move on.
The Arabs had territory set aside for them a State when the State of Israel was created. It is called Jordan. It was created from land that initially was to have went to Israel.
It's OK with me if they want to have their own state, but they cannot have Israel.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Something will have to be done with the populace, and deportation is not an option. Something less than a state will be likely the final result. If the Euros want to call it a Bantustan, who cares, they're dealing with their own no entry bantustans in Western Europe as we speak. And the threats to the other states in the region are increasing. Both Iran and chaos. And should the palestinians create a thriving state in their part of the West Bank and Gaza who knows what the future will bring. The potential is there, they've a large low cost labor force, unfortunately educated in hatred rather than computer science, and great tourist potential.
They need to be marched back into Lebanon. Let their friends in the EU support them.
Netanyahu is a wise man and will not do anything that would endanger his country. Israel is a very small country next to a hotbed of seething terrorists. Since President Trump, thankfully, understands that there is such a thing as Muslim terrorism, he will be able to grasp the dangers Israel faces.
Don’t they already have a state? Didn’t Israel give them Gaza?
The core for others to understanding all this is the knowledge that there are really no such things as “Palestinians” as the word is being used today.
There is no Palestinian race. There is no Palestinian ethnic group. There is no Palestinian religion or even a Palestinian sect of Islam. The term “Palestinian” is simply a catch-all for a group of terrorist organizations such as Hamas, PLO, PNA and others.
Their origins go back the the founding of the Jewish State of Israel, when, in response to the UN mandate establishing Israel, they attacked and tried to kill every Jew.
They lost the war they started in 1948.
They lost the war Egypt started in order to help them in 1956.
They lost the war they started in 1967, and during that war, they lost significant territory.
They lost the war they started in 1973.
Since the 1973 war, Egypt, Jordan and even Saudi have realized the benefits of commercial cooperation with Israel and are building strong trans-border links with Israeli technology companies.
Since they could not win on the conventional battlefield, the so-called Palestinians have waged a less visible war against Israel, blowing up buses filled with school children, firing tens of thousands of rockets into Israel, etc. Their support in this comes from Iran, the not-so-quietly sworn enemy of the Saudis and others.
Now the so-called Palestinians are trying to win politically what they cannot win militarily.
Israel holds that 1967-won territory today because without it, Israel is militarily indefensible and like Patton said, I don’t like to retreat so I have to waste men’s lives taking the territory again.
There is no need for the so-called Palestinians to have one square inch of post-1967 Israel, because there are millions of square miles of empty land less than a day’s drive from where they are now. With a small portion of the aid these Palestinians extort from the West now, money they now use to wage war on Israeli children, they could make that land fertile and their new home.
The Palestinian “Question” is simply one more radical Muslim attempt to put a new face on their psychotic need to destroy everything of the Christian and Jewish heritage.... and every Christian and Jew.
Here endith the First Lesson.
Be well
Actually, it is much like saying "Midwesterner"
It describes all the inhabitants of a geographical location on the globe...mostly Syria, Lebanon, Israel, much of Jordan.
They celebrated on 9-11. I don’t give a damn about them.
“Palestine” was the name that the emperor Vespasian gave the area after the revolt of 72 A.D. It is derived from the name “Philistine”, the enemies of the Jewish people. It was meant as a punishment for rebellion. However, the Philistines did not refer to themselves as “Philistines” as that was derived from the Hebrew word for an invader. So when a So called Palestinian uses that name, he is calling himself an invader, and identifying with such people as Goliath and Delilah.
Re: “In 1946 the Palestinians were either Syrians or Jordanians!”
And, before 1918, the Palestinians were Ottoman Arabs.
