Nadine,
This answer is very well said. You have captured the gist of the problem in very few words.
<<There's no space here to begin the long arguments about the rights of the Palestinians vs. Zionism, but just let me say that "they had their
land stolen" is imo a vast, vast oversimplification of the development of the Jewish presence in Palestine and the Arab political response to
it, particularly of the way the Palestinians have deliberately been kept in refugee camps to be used as pawns and weapons by their Arab
"brethen". Remember in 1948/49, half a million Jews living in Arab countries had all their property confiscated and were made refugees, too. You
just never hear about them because they were all resettled as fast as possible.>>
