I need a history lesson on the Israelies and Palestinians

[Longhorn85]

War is the only answer for this situation and that does not bother me one bit. Palestine is not, nor has it ever been, a state, with the government and attendant services associated with one. It is a region, much as Patagonia is; one doesn't hear talk of Patagonians; you're either a Chilean or an Argentinian.

Good point. Some other facts pro Palestinians should consider:

Palestinians refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist.

Israel offered the West Bank to the Palestinians in a peace deal, but the Palestinians refused

Jordan controlled the West Bank from 1948 to 1967 and never offered it as a homeland to the Palestinians

Over 85% of Palestinians are displaced Jordanians and Syrians. Neither of these two countries are willing to accept them.

The Palestinians are intolerant of other religions, even amongst themselves. Palestinian Christians attempted to build a Church in the West Bank, and Muslim Palestianians rioted to prevent them from doing so. The riot was broken up and the Christian Palestianians were protected from harm by Israeli Soldiers.

some facts pro isreali's should consider,

millions and milllions of people who lived in the palestine/isreal in the 40's were kicked out of their homes and moved to refugee/concentration camps.... where they still live and where Isreal still occupies those camps. Tell me you wouldn't be pissed off about that. Who gives a shit if they didn't have a legitimite state..... THEY GOT KICKED OUT FROM THEIR HOMES! Is that right?

65% of Jordans populaiton are displaced Palistanians

Arial Sharon was responsible for allowing Lebanese Christian militia members rape, torture and murder over 2 thousand palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in 1982.

As you said a few posts ago, don't take my word for it, read it for yourself, if you're so inclined.

Why don't you tell me, since I assume you've read it. Somehow I don't think you will.

Yes I have, and no, I won't spoonfeed you. As I said, take your own advice. It is interesting that you are so critical of a document on which Western civilization is largely based, and you have not even read it.

Respectful disagreement is healthy.

No, actually you are quick to criticize based on your biases, yet too lazy to investigate for yourself.
