That does address the WB Arabs, but not the Palis in other Arab countries. They are all stateless as well. I hardly think having an internet address .il qualifies one as an Israeli. We take our being citizens for granted in the US, never thinking of the difficulties of being stateless. Probably because most US citizens never travel outside the US.

This I did not know. If so, shame on the Arab countries that keep them. It is cruel to use them as pawns to focus their native population on Israel rather then their repressive rule.

The internet address example I gave was just that -- an example. There is nothing at all resembling a state in the WB. They depend on Israel for jobs, electricity, heat, everything. There is no attempt to build a life there. None at all. Recall that prior to '67 it was Jordan. Jordan had a little fracas with the WB Palestinians as well as I recall.
