ET, are you aware of the FACT that these so called palestinians were living in those refugee camps under Jordanian occupation, prior to the 67 War?

Did you know that the Palestinians, led by Arafat tried to overthrow Jordan's King Hussein in the 70's?

Do you know any of these historical truth's?

As I grew up I was a witness to the sheer utter hatred Estonians had for the Russians because they occupied Estonia

If Estonia had fought off the Russian invasion, and taken a buffer strip of Russian territory in the war, how would you feel about the Estonian occupation of Russian territory? This hypothetical example is a better analogy to the Israeli situation, since the Israelis took the land in repulsing the attack of their neighbors.

If the Russians in the occupied strip then demanded to be declared their own country, it would also be a good analogy, for there never was an Arab state of Palestine. The Arabs never drew any borders around the region; it was just a province of Syria.
