Palestinians - Pawns in Arab "Scramble for Land"?

[DogOnPorch]

It just underlines the bigotry and political fanaticism so prevalent any time people talk about the Palestinians.

Poor l'il victims...like they never made their bed and slept in it.

Hey, you're the one with the massive and misconceived victim mentality. All reactionaries are the same way.

I know I shouldn't have dragged your old friend der Fuhrer into this. Low blow...lol.

You're the anti-semite, so I would think you're a bit more sympathetic to such fellows.

You're free to post links re: my anti-Semitism...this should be good.

So are you one of those guys who secretly admires Hitler?

Oh! Well, this is rather strange. See, you have accused me of anti-semitism multiple times...but have offered zero links that might provide evidence.

So I had thought the claim itself sufficient. These are your standards, Mr. Jew-hater.

So are you one of those guys who secretly admires Hitler?

Why no, not at all, but thanks for asking. I had thought you anti-semites did admire him, but perhaps you guys have more variation than I thought.

You're my enemy. I thought I was clear.

Anyone who opposes terrorism and doesn't hate the Jewish people is no doubt your enemy.

I mean what I say as in you. Singular.

Ok. Well, if you insist this is the case, I guess I got lucky that my enemy is a cowardly little pussy.

You hope.

[bloodyminded]

You hope.

I am positive. You're the opposite of frightening.

[DogOnPorch]

I am positive. You're the opposite of frightening.

Yeah...right. I smile a lot.

[bloodyminded]

Yeah...right. I smile a lot.

Such a scary little pantywaist!

Now youre comparing jews during the aftermath of the holocaust wanting a state on their biblical homeland to the chance of palestinians wanting to leave their homes and... move to Jordan or Egypt?

In any case some or most would not go... so were back to you implementing your plan with force. Back to ethnic cleansing.

Sadly your idea is actually quite popular in Israel right now. They call their ethnic cleansing plan "transfer" and theres a fair ammount of political support for it.

Perhaps if the Arabs had worked with and through the pragmatic West Bank mayors during the 1970's and early 1980's rather than killing them, most of the West Bank and Gaza could have been turned over to Arab control. There could have been a focus on developing a real economy rather than setting up a staging ground for future wars. Let me give you an example; Canada and the U.S. While after 1815, when the War of 1812 ended the British, later Canadians and the Americans didn't love each other, both deemed it better to peacefully work out border issues as they arose, first, west of the then-existing boundaries of the U.S. and the British provinces of Upper Canada, Lower Canada, the Northwest Territories, and the Louisiana purchase. There was no war needed to separate the old Oregon Country (loosely consisting of modern Oregon, Washington, parts of Idaho and Montana and British Columbia) into the now famuiliar 49th parellel boundary. And yes, there were the minor Fenian raids over the Maine-New Brunswick border that didn't amount to much. Ditto the Pig Island batter. But nothing like the Middle East.

Unfortunately, that peaceful out come in the Middle East was not to be. The Arabs persisted in their hopeless quest to liquidate Israel entirely. This created a very real risk of expulsion due to war. When one wages war it's not heads I win tails you lose; loss is a real risk, and does affect the populations.
