There is no such thing as a "palestinian"; they are Arab refugees from Jordan, Syria, Egypt, etc. who would not be taken in by their Arab brothers after the Israelis handed them their butts when they attacked. The Israelis have offered to incorporate many Arabs into their society and have given them voting rights. Many Arabs have CHOSEN to live in Israel because of the quality of life, jobs, religious tolerance, etc. The reason that most of the surrounding Arab countries won't take in these refugees is because a)they can keep them as a thorn in Israel's side and whip up the militants and b)they tried to revolt against the Jordanian gov't when the Jordanians took them in after the last major conflict (they were brutally suppressed by the way). The have had more than one opportunity to have their own country but have turned it down because this would mean acknowledging that Israel has the right to exist as a sovereign nation. Their quality of life is not the fault of Israel.
Sura 9:29: "Allah said 'until they pay the jizyah' - if they do not choose to embrace Islam; 'with willing submission' - in defeat and subservience; 'and feel themselves subdued' - disgraced, humiliated and belittled. Therefore, Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of the dhimmah or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated."[3]
"It is only very recently that some defenders of Islam began to assert that their society in the past accorded equal status to non-Muslims.
No such claim is made by spokesman for resurgent Islam, and historically there is no doubt that they are right.
Traditional Islamic societies neither accorded such equality nor pretended that they were so doing.
Indeed, in the old order, this would have been regarded not as a merit but as a dereliction of duty.
How could one accord the same treatment to those who follow the true faith and those who willfully reject it?
This would be a theological as well as a logical absurdity. "
" Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians.
Dhimmis, “protected” or “guilty” people, are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29).
This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, are part of the legal superstructure that global jihadists are laboring through violence to restore everywhere in the Islamic world, and wish ultimately to impose on the entire human race.
If dhimmis complained about their inferior status, institutionalized humiliation, or poverty, their masters voided their contract and regarded them as enemies of Islam, fair game as objects of violence.
Consequently, dhimmis were generally cowed into silence and worse.
It was almost unheard-of to find dhimmis speaking out against their oppressors; to do so would have been suicide.
For centuries dhimmi communities in the Islamic world learned to live in peace with their Muslim overlords by acquiescing to their subservience.
Some even actively identified with the dominant class, and became strenuous advocates for it."

Why do I saddle you with all these quotations?
It explains the arab attitude toward Israel and Israelis..
It explains WHY the (arabs who call themselves palestinians) continue to assault the very people to whom they owe their economic life, without which most of these "palistinians" would starve or die of thirst..
How can a muslim hold his/her head up high, when they are dependent upon "lesser beings" ??
How can muslims be proud when those beneath them refuse to humble themselves, refuse to submit to their superiority, refuse to pay the "jhizya", the head tax, refuse to abide by the Sharia laws concerning dhimmi ???
This is the True basis of the war against Israel..
The war, the attacks, would all end tomorrow if Israel would simple "submit" to Islam, pay tribute, and allow Muslims to act as their Lords and Masters.. ( and occassionally violate and humiliate them.. according to their "right" as muslims..)
Make no mistake.. The war against Israel will continue, until every muslim is dead, or Israel becomes an Islamic state..
This is an utter myth easily disproved if you would do the most basic research.
