Subject: RE: BS: suicide bomber murders 9 in Tel Aviv
What was yours? In discussing the efforts of the Arabs from 1948 to 1967 to remove the Jews from the Arab occupied territories, YOU keep bringing up the Jeww, married to a Palestinian, who NOW lives in that area. That has NO bearing on the Pre-1967 situation.

The reason I keep bringing them up is because people keep trying to make it look like all Palestinians want to kill all Jews. I don't know whether or not that is your intention, but that is the message I get from a lot of your posts. But it simply is not true that all Palestinians want to kill all Jews.

Of cousre, you never mention the Arab Israelis, who stayed in Israel, and are citizens. I am STILL waiting for the explaination of why Israel should have to absorb the Jews driven out of Arab countries, making them citizens of Israel along with the Arabs who did not leave, while the Arabs kept the Palestinian Moslems who left Israel in camps, without citizenship, and drove out their own Jewish populations.

I don't mention the Arab Israelis because they don't live in the Palestinian occupied areas. Those are the areas that I have been mostly addressing in my posts on the subject of the occupation. Those areas are the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and to some extent, Gaza (which Israel is still trying to control in terms of borders). Why should I mention the Arab Israelis when the subject is Palestinians who live in the Palestinian occupied areas?

640,000 Arabs left what became Israel
820,000 Jews left the Arab countries

So, the Palestinians have some special right to occupy land that the Jews do not? Or will you also demand that the Arabs provide land to those THEY drove out?


And this point of yours is the other reason I mention the bit about Jews living in Palestinian occupied areas. Because you keep trying to make it look like the Palestinians who live in these areas don't want any Jews to live there with them, and that simply is not true.

Even the PLO Charter, which does not recognize the state of Israel, includes Jews in the definition of "Palestinian". According to the PLO Charter, Palestinians are anyone, Christian, Jew, or Muslim, who is of Arab descent and who is descended paternally from people who were living in mandate Palestine prior to 1917 or thereabouts.

And you know I advocate for allowing Jews to return to their homes in other Arab countries (those who were from there originally, or their descendents). I've already told you that more than once.
