The name "Palestine" was the name given to Judea and Samaria by the Romans expressly for the purpose of infuriating and subsuming the Jews living there who they'd conquered. There is no "Palestinian" culture, no "Palestinian" language, no "Palestinian" heritage. Just a bunch of innocent people, on the losing side of a war to destroy the nascent Jewish state, who should have been assimilated into the vast territories of the surrounding Arab states, but who are instead being used as political pawns and cannon fodder by those states in the ongoing effort to finish what they started years ago.

I totally agree with ya, mvpel. I think another thing people don't consider is that not only is Arafat NOT Palestinian, but the guy is a dictator through and through. And the only Palestinians suffering are those who live under the Palestinians Authority. There are many Arabs who live in Israel who are pretty content and want to remain in Israel. And there are Arabs who live under the PA who sympathize with Israel, but unfortunately those people are rooted out pretty quickly and brutally lynched in the Pal streets and their tattered bodies strung up as an example. Why isn't the UN and the human rights watch people all over that? Some of these Pal sympathizers need to peruse www.memri.org. Also there was a great article from Mona Charen last week in jewishworldreview.com.... http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/charen1.asp
