You are coming across as someone who is remarkably naive about the truth of the occupation of the West Bank and previous acts of treachery by the Zionists in the Middle East.

Better than coming across like yourself, a biased moron who thinks he can read, but never learned to comprehend...

Someone who can't even define for anyone just exactly what, or who, constitutes a Palestinian.. The origin of the Palstinians, or how Jordanians can suddenly become Palestinians.

Here's a hint Raymond... It's about power, who has it, who wants it, the plans they have to obtain it, and THEN how they use, or abuse that power.

Secondly, it's about whether that power is absolute, or diffused and diluted enough by the governmental, or external, institutions people create to insure the powerful is accountable to the governed, or even another powerful institution...

I don't care if your Jewish, Arab, Christian, Hindi, Japanese... etc..

Someone always has power and prestige in every society Raymond. And power is constantly being confronted by other powerful elements.. When and where there is a power vacuum, it will eventually be filled by something else.

What we must ensure as individuals, is that the powerful remain accountable and restrained from abusing the power they obtain, or are granted (through elections).

Thirdly, there's always sufficient blame available to be passed around with regard to the historical context of any situation.

Fouthly, you don't always get what you want, when or how, you want it..
