Arafat's sholder patch has always identified the entire state of israel as Palestinian territory.

How about the palestinians getting lebanon as was the original intent? It seems the Palestinians could easily get a piece of France. I have seen enough stuff citing that the modern Palestinans are more a political fiction tool than a valid argument.


The only way this will be settled is by complete and total victory for one side.

They've got a Palestinian state now: it's called Jordan.

The British Mandate (which was created after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire during World War I) was supposed to be divided into Arab (Palestinian) and Jewish sections. It was. One part became Jordan and (a smaller) part became Israel. Lebanon with in the French Mandate, I think, and was never designated as an ethnic homeland for anybody. It was supposed to be a mixed community (of Christians, Moslems, and others), and operated that way for decades until Syria backed the Moslems in a civil war that basically destroyed the Christian communities there.
