The data doesn't lie:

Israel-Palestine: $16,020 (without oil)
Saudi Arabia: $8,530 (mostly from oil)
Syria: $1,130
Jordan: $1,850
Iran: $2,000
Egypt: $1,390
Algeria: $1,890
Sudan $460
Ethiopia $90
Uganda $240

The reality is the Palestinians are, and will forever be, cannon fodder for the Arab World. If the Palestinians had their own state and started to prosper, the other Arab countries would start to rebel against the leadership (are lack thereof).

An Israeli Arab who was there in 1948 tells it like it was.

From the article: "As a child, I watched a Syrian play about the war of October 1973.

I don't think the author was there in 1948.

Arabs don't want to find a solution to the Palestinian problem just like Democrats don't want to find a solution to the impending Social Security collapse.

In both cases, they want the issue in order to maintain power.

For a good historical novel about this topic, I recommend The Hag by Uris. A sad and depressing look at the palestinians and shows well how the Israeli arabs were in some cases "tricked" out of their land. Also shows that hatred comes from generations of teaching in the home, this author did not receive this teaching.

The title of the book is "THE HAJ" by Leon Uris. Yes I agree with you about that book.

How about his parents? His Grandparents?
Does he wear the wrong-color shoes too?

What about his account, whatever the source? Any holes in it?

Great book up until the ending . The ending did make senses after 9-11.

When I tell this story on certain overseas forums, the Jew haters there brand me a liar and things I cannot repeat here. The real lie, the lie that the Israel "took" land from the Arabs who lived there and that they pushed the Arabs out, is what is accepted as "truth" by billions of uneducated and seething people world wide. And these billions are enemies of all that is good. They are preparing the path for World War Three.

What goes around comes around. The hatred that the Palis are spewing forth will come back to them a thousand times.
