Occupating Army = the definition of you rants against a state of Israel. You have never proven that those Muslims that live in camps or on the West Bank and Gaza coupled with those that live in the camps in Lebanon have any greater or lesser right to any portion of land than the Israeli's that live there now. While I don't argue that a small percentage perhaps 10,000 may have a legitimate claim to land in Israel, those who live in the West Bank and Gaza can only blame the Arab nations for going to war with Israel in 1967 and therefore these people ended up under Israeli ownership. I don't believe for a second that their lot is substantially worse than it was pre 1967. I do believe that before the intifada the rate of Arab employment, standards of living, etc. were higher under Israeli administration (you call it occupation) than at any time prior to 1967 and after 1948. The problems are a direct result of Arab terror. Eliminate Arab terror and you will begin to see a better climate in the Middle East for all. Should you get your wish and the Jews of Israel are murdered, eliminated, whatever, the end result is that you will see the same levels of poverty, the same hopelessness, the only difference is that they won't be able to blame Israel for their problems. So who will they blame. Anyone want to take a wild guess?
