Q: You really should get your facts re: 1948 straight. You should find out whether the Palestinians were asked to stay in Israel by the Israelis or were urged to leave by their "brethren" ---who then shunned them. Also, let us recall who attacked who at that time. Let us also recall the UN vote that allowed for the creation of the State of Israel.

    As to the other note regarding top dog/underdog status (Not Q's). I guess that is human nature--we do it all the time. Person builds a business from nothing and then when it is hugely successful we chuckle if he has bad times. We love to see a winner defeated---tennis, baseball, you name it. Human nature---but, happilly, not deadly as is this horrible situation.
