Or the Jews who emigrated to Palestine, since 1945, can return to their birth countries or the countries of their parents/grandparents or elsewhere... The lands in the Arab countries that were abandoned or ceased do not belong to Palestinians and the Palestinians would not accept them. The Palestinians will not accept properties confiscated from other Palestinians either. If Israel was not established there would not be the problems that there are now.

<< I would rather see a separation between Arab and Jew, total separation so that the two sides can live in peace or not among themselves. >>

I don't see peace for a long time. If anything, Arab terrorism and hatred towards Christians and Jews is heating up.

The first step, in the War against Christians and Jews, was the Sept 11th attack against America. Many in the Arab world knew about an upcoming and "supposidly" disastrous attack against America.

That is why Arafat bought that arms ship and was turning down a great offer of peace at the same time.

Arafat knew about the upcoming attack against America. In his peabrain, he believed the boasts from Al Qaeda that they would destroy the US, and the US's ability to defend Israel.

I would bet, also, that the Saudis knew also.

These are dangerous times, especially for Israel. But, I fear for the safety of the entire free world. I think that the terrorist cells in Gaza, the West Bank, and in other Arab regions are much stronger and well financed than ever before.

That is probably why President Bush is committed to a world wide war on terrorism. The US knows more than it is letting out.
