Fundamentally, the problem with your line of reasoning is that it punishes the Pals for the misdeeds and shortfalls of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, etc. Since the Pals had no part in the decisions made by the leaders of those countries, they can't be held responsible for their outcome. This is one of the top two fallacies, regarding the Palestinian problem So how is this different from how history treated the Turks of the Balkans, the Greeks and Armenians of Anatolia, the Kurds of everywhere, including your own Iran? Whose heart is bleeding for their sufferings or declaring that any solution that doesn't somehow reach back in time and put them right is a "fallacy"? Any solution has to start by recognizing reality right here and now. Reality includes the existence of Israel, which as a country is a damn sight more successful than any of its neighbors. I guess the Kurds picked the wrong enemies. Maybe they should hire the Israeli Air Force to bomb them.
