Mr. & Mrs. West Bank Arab owned land in what was Jordan until 1967....

Whatever their backgrounds, they owned that land, personally.

Just because Arabs in the Levant have been cursed with bad government is no justification for its confiscation or other theft.

International law was radically different in 1967 than it was in 1945 (or 1948).

Every person should receive just and fair treatment by government.

Well, no.

Not exactly.

A lot of that land was personally owned by Jews who bought it from the Ottomans who owned it in the 1800s. They were forced out by the Jordanian government back in 1948.

This is not the same as what happened in Israel in 1948 where the Arabs were asked to stay. No, these Jews who were living on land they personally owned and they were forced to leave. Never got fair market value for it or any of the stuff they were forced to leave behind.

I notice you never bring up that part.

Curious.

But you cry great big crocodile tears for the people less then two decades later that decided to FAFO.

And then in Jordan back in the 1970s once again they decided to FAFO with the royal family.

No tears for those people either?

How about the ones who lived in Lebanon who were told they could only sell their land to a Lebanese not to one of their fellow "Palestinian" or even leave it to their heirs?

Do you weep for them?

Every person should receive just and fair treatment by government.

:snicker:

You sound like a third wave feminist wailing about misogyny in the west while ignoring girls being beaten back into a fire to be burned alive because they were not wearing proper head gear.

Yeah. Whatever.

Like essentially every single Jew in every single muslim country who was dispossessed and forced to flee by the totalitarian death cult?

“Between 1920 and 1970, 900,000 Jews were expelled from Arab and other Muslim countries. The 1940s were a turning point in this tragedy; of those expelled, 600,000 settled in the new state of Israel, and 300,000 in France and the United States.”

Given the opportunity in #16 to at least denounce the original middle eastern dispossession of the Jews by the totalitarian death cult, your silence positively screams.

Speaking of “confiscation or other theft”, are you prepared to condemn and require the return of confiscated lands by the invader colonialist settler arabs of the indigenous Jewish and Christian inhabitants of the Levant?

Or are you a one-way pro-baby-baker?
