"No Israeli has become a refugee for over half a century."
Gone beyond that you - your extreme display of mindless stupidity has blown any chance of you ever being taken seriously again
However, you have my gratitude.
your thick-headed repetition of your indefensible argument led me to digging deeper into bits of Israeli history I was somewhat vague on.
My family were always fim supporters of the State of Israel, though my father was often disturbed by the aggressive attitude towards the Arabs, who he believed, had as much right to their homeland as did the Jews - he put that down to opportunism - taking advantage of the superior military ability of the Israeli fighters.
He dierd before the outbreak of the Six Day War, and went to his grave still a firm supporter of The State of Israel.
I have always gone along with that, though I totally lost faith in their leaders as Israel's terrorism developed.
As it turns out, ethnic cleansing was part of the plan from the very beginning - Ben Gurion made that quite plain.
"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.   
Ben Gurion recognised that the Palestinians were the rightful owners of the territory and that the Israelis were the usurpers.
Even having recognised this, he instigated a programme of ethnic cleansing as far back as 1937:
"We must expel Arabs and take their places." WHATEVER COLOR YOU CHOOSE TO PAINT IT, THAT WAS A DECLARATION OF AN INTENTION TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE ARABS OUT OF THEIR NATIVE LANDS sixty eight years ago
So all your talk of the Palestinians being the aggressors and the Israeli only defending their rights is (as you are fond of saying) a load of bollocks
Of course the Jews have a right to a homeland, but unfortunately, Israeli extremist regimes have decided that it is someone else's homeland they have decided is theirs.
It is Israel who are the extremists and the Palestinians who are the defenders -that has been the case for decades.
You will almost certainly   ignore this, as you have ignored every other fact put up - doesn't matter - it isn't for your benefit.
My thanks for your help in filling in a gap in my ignorance.
