"whereas the "Palestinians" aren't from Israel, but rather Jordan, Syria, the UAR, etc., and went to Israel at the urging of those countries"

They left other countries to sit in a refugee camp? You can't be serious; most Palestinians have roots in Palestine that are much deeper than the Jewish settlers.

They aren't freaking sitting in refugee camps, these are cities. They just call them camps to get sympathy and money.

Hate to quarrel with you, but those Jewish "settlers" have roots there that go back over 3500 years, and well over a millenium before the term "Palestine" was even coined.

Uh, no, the refugee camps were created after their original countries wouldn't allow them back in after the failed 1948 and 1967 wars. They went to Israel originally to live their under the false assumption that the Arab armies would make short work out of the fledgling state. Also, contrary to what our media wants you to believe, many of the "settlers" have been in their areas for a generation; the "settlements" are not squatter camps, but rather apartment buildings, neighborhoods, etc.
