Peter.
Keith, in your response to me you seem to be agreeing that the creation of Israel was misguided even if well intentioned.
Yes well intentioned, but pragmatic not misguided.
There was no good solution, just the best possible one.
Yet you are incapable of any empathy with the victims of that decision.
That is a very insulting and wrong thing to say about me.
The plight of the Palestinian refugees breaks my heart as it would that of any half decent human being.

I do note that the kind of settlement they now seek was available to them under the original plan, but the Arab nations tried to improve on it by violence and failed.
I also think it shameful that the Arab nations refused, and still refuse to settle the refugees, while Israel on its tiny scrap of land settled many, many more Jewish refugees.
