Tom, they didnt want to deal with the palestinians then, and still dont now. Just look at Lebanon, a country "occupied" by Syria, and where palestinians artent allowed to use the hospitals, education facilities, or anything remotely implying they are citizens. Please tell me why there aren't suicide bombiongs there to protest the ill treatment from their aran brothers? And why isnt the world up in arms over the Syrian Army keeping 30,000 troops there, and why dont they protest the Iranian Revolutionary guards from training and supplying Hezbullah gunmen and rocket launching? Little wonder that the press is now calling Powell's trip to the border an eye opener. Lets hope George see it clearly.

Not quite the same thing but.... Just suppose, instead of rotten land, ( every American should feel remorseful and embarrassed ) U.S. citizens had been forced by a bunch of nations, who should have had no say in the matter, to give Native Americans the state of New York. Insurrection?? "Among the issues that had to be dealt with by the Mandatory Power was the question of a Jewish home in Palestine. Increasing Jewish immigration to Palestine was strongly opposed by the Arab inhabitants, who in the mid-1940s comprised about two-thirds of the territory's population of two million. Faced with escalating violence, the United Kingdom decided, in February 1947, to bring the question of Palestine before the United Nations." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The Jewish Agency accepted the resolution despite its dissatisfaction over such matters as Jewish emigration from Europe and the territorial limits set on the proposed Jewish State. The Plan was not accepted by the Palestinian Arabs and Arab States, on the grounds that it violated the provisions of the United Nations Charter, which granted people the right to decide their own destiny. They said that the Assembly had endorsed the Plan under circumstances unworthy of the United Nations, and that the Arabs of Palestine would oppose any scheme which provided for the dissection, segregation or partition of their country, or which gave special and preferential rights and status to a minority." domino.un.org!OpenDocument
