"And if its about religion, then the Palestinians are simply racists, and they aren't worth the time of day"

There appears to be an element of truth to this, don't you think?

"And the Palestinians got screwed, the Israelis wouldn't let them come back home and so they were put into refugee camps........so much for the new Palestinian state"

If your synopsis is true, the Palestinians screwed themselves. Put yourself in Israel's position. If your neighbor moved out so his friends could run you out of your house so that he could have it, would you want that neighbor back? Does he deserve to be back? To me the solution would be for the Arab nations that asked (or encouraged) the Palestinians to leave to offer them a state.

"That does not change the fact that they had lived there for centuries and certainly had squatters' rights..."

Why do you think that "squatters" keep their "rights" after they leave? Particularly if they left so that Israel could be destroyed.
