Colonialism at its worst: Oh??... I notice that this author conveniently ignored the fact that Jordan occupied AND ANNEXED the entire West Bank portion of the UN designated Palestinian partition in 1948. Palestinians were forcibly incorporated into the Kingdom of Jordan for 20 years, until they foolishly attacked Israel and lost their territory. They then continued to claim the West Bank for themselves until 1989. Yes... she conveniently missed that significant part of history, where Jordan had also violated international law for 20 years and used the Palestinian partition to threaten and attack it's neighbor. She also conveniently forgot to mention the racism that exists inherently in Arab states against Jews and Coptics. She also conveniently forgot to mention that every Arab state has sought to destroy Israel since it's inception. Thus, is it "racism", or is it national security? Why should Israel extend greater rights to a population that seeks the destruction of the entire nation, when Jews are not extended those same rights in Arab nations? Why is this person specifically focusing on the Palestinian plight in Israel and ignoring the plight of Jews who have been disenfranchised by their Arab rulers? And why are you posting such irrelevant tripe, when you, of all people, should realize that Israel has extended far more rights to the Arabs, than the Arabs have extended towards them. Hawk
