They were defending themselves when they forced people out of their homes in 1948?

Sorry dude, you'll have to ask someone older than I am... But from what I understand, the British Territory known as Palistine was divided into the portion west of the Jordan River for displaced Jews (aka ISREAL), and the portion east of the the Jordon (aka JORDAN), for the ARABS living in the British territory formally known as Palistine. But I have to admit, I'm going on what I've been told, not by my own observation. For all I know, the Isrealies might have been total a-holes in 1948, I wasn't there... But I can see what is going on today.

The Palestinians are not native to that land. They cannot be traced back to anything but northern Africa. They are only there because Jordan kicked them out!

The Jews can be traced back to that land going back thousands of years. Sure the have been FORCED out many times but they always came back!

While I realize that the linked article, which has lots of words and no cute graphics, will probably be beyond your grasp, I am providing it for those who would like to read some actual history on the Arab emigration of 1948.

Were the Palestinians Expelled?
