They’ve been offered their own state 6 times. Turned it down every time.
Yasser Arafat would have lost a lot of income in the form of foreign aid that was supposed to go to the people had “Palestine” become an independent state. So he died with billions of dollars of stolen money. And later the money went mostly to Hamas to build rockets, and the average “Palestinian” didn’t care or approved of it. They’re so intent on killing Jews that they completely lack the ability to run their own independent state.
