Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Jim,

Israel, since 1948, has been willing to trade land for peace. They have given up land, but not had peace.

What do YOU think the Palestinians should have, and why? I gave my statement that those refugees that left when Israel was formed should have been absorbed by the other Arab nations, as the Jewish refugees from Arab lands were absorbed by Israel.

What right have the Palestinians to Israeli territory?

Does Israel have the right to demand a part of Jordan? If not, why not- THAT was part of the Mandate Palestine that was supposed to become the Jewish Homeland, by the treaty that ended WW 1. It was split off as the ARAB MOSLIM Homeland- so the Palestinians already have a state, of greater area than Israel and the West Bank.

YOU are the one putting people in ovens, not the Israelis. The Arab League declared it was going to destroy all the Jews in Israel, and when Israel defends itself, YOU complain. That indicates your support for genocide, as long as it is "only Jews" that are being killed.

The Palestinians who left Israel, refusing to stay in peace, can settle in some Arab nation- What right do they have for more, unless you give the same rights to those Jews driven out of Arab nations? Shouldn't the LARGER NUMBER of Jewish refugees get at least as much as you are demanding for the Palestinians? If not, why not?
