re: Only the Israeli state was set up in 1947, not a Palestinian state

wrong, UN created a partition of british mandate over palestine. That partition split Palestine in roughly two equal parts with free Jerusalem. One part was for Palestinians and one part was for Jews. Jews recognized the UN partition.

re: You and I both know the Israelis are hated for several reasons........a Jewish state was carved out of a region that is predominately Arab/Muslim so that they are seen as interlopers. Not only that but the Israelis have made a modern success of their country. Furthermore, they have benefitted from considerable aid [$3 billion per year] given by the US which has enabled them immensely to build a very lethal war machine. They are now the region's superpower. And they occupy land once intended for the Palestinians and their new state, and intend to continue to occupy those lands even after the new state of Palestine has formed.
maybe you are on something here, it is not a question of land for Palestinians but rather hatred for Israel.

BTW do you know that Egypt is getting pretty much the same aid as Israel and we also support Saudis. Laet's not even mention how much it cost us to fight Gulf War
We buy a friend in Israel but what do we get from Saudis or Egypt or Kuwait?

re: the Palestinians were encouraged fighting and other Arabs to flee their homes their homes in Israel

you have to ask Jordanians and Syrians and Egyptions who are best friends with Palestinians.
re: Did they get reimbursed from the Israelis?
What are the chances that Israeli's and Palestinians are going to get reimbursed by Egypt?re: Do you know?
Do I still need to answer that one?
