Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
The "Liberal" Viewpoint:

Under Arab rule, the Jews were not allowed access to their holy sites in Jerusalem. Under Israeli rule, the Arabs have retained access and control of their holy sites in Jerusalem.
"Liberal" conclusion: We have to give the holy sites in Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

Under Arab rule, the West Bank was ethnically cleaned of Jews who had lived there for centuries. Under Israeli rule, the West Bank was open to settlement by Jews and Arabs, although Jewish settlement was restricted to certain areas.
"Liberal" conclusion: We have to give the entire West Bank to the Palestinians

In the creation of Israel, 640,000 Arab Moslems fled the new state, while 820,000 Jews were driven out of the Arab nations.
"Liberal"conclusion: The Palestinians deserve everything, while the Jews should be required to give up whatever the Palestinians want.


The state of Israel has accepted the need for a Palestinian state, and have arrested and kept in jail convicted Palestinian terrorists ( which they are now releasing) who have killed civilians, while the Palestinians kill anyone they suspect of seeking peace, and have stated that they will only settle for the elimination of all Jews in "Palestine", which they have defined to include all of the present state of Israel.
"Liberal" conclusion: The Jews are vicious genocidal killers, and the Palestinians only want peace ( once they have killed all the Jews)
