Thread Name: BS: Israeli Jews/Israeli Arabs
Subject: RE: BS: Israeli Jews/Israeli Arabs
1937, 1947, 1949, that makes three times that the Palestinian Arabs were offered and rejected precisely what are fighting for now. 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 four times instead they have opted for war as a solution, each time they have lost. Throughout the British Mandate era (1920, 1921, 1929, 1936-1939, 1947) the Arabs of Palestine proved conclusively that they were incapable of living peacefully and co-existing with the Jewish population of a unified Palestinian state.

People, nations, races, religious or political groups do not by right own anything on this earth other than by nature of what they can control, purchase or hold. If right to land or resource is put to the test of war, the side that loses can only expect to pay a price, especially if they are the ones who opted to fight when a perfectly workable compromise was proposed beforehand. A great line from "Crocodile Dundee" something to the effect of - getting worked up about who owns what on earth is as ridiculous as two fleas fighting about who owns the dog.

By the bye it is a precondition set by the United Nations that Israel must be granted "Secure Borders", nothing to do with the Protocols of Zion or the Elders of Zion.
