<<when you're p*ssed because you have been denied a lot for a long time even 3% seems big.>> They weren't denied diddly squat. In '67 the Palistinians packed up, sold out and left Israel so it would be easier for the Arabs to cleanse the land of Jews. That's right, except it was 1948, and the Arabs told the Palestinians to leave Israel/Palestine while the Arabs took care of the Zionists and pushed them out. The Arabs ran about as many Jews out of their lands and back to Israel in preperation for war. The war, as happens, didn't go the way the Arabs planned and they LOST ground. Then they decided they didn't like their Palestanian relatives and sent them back to Israel. When the 1948 war ended, Israel would not let the Palestinians come back even where families had been separated by the war. Therefore, the Arabs could not have sent the Palestinians back to Israel as you suggest. In the meantime, when the war started, camps had been set up in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria etc to house temporarily the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. When the Arabs lost the war, the Palestinians had no where to go and remained in the camps. King Abdullah of Jordan killed thousands. Lebanese Christians killed more thousands as part of an ongoing civil war in Lebanon. The Arab countries were too poor and left the Palestinians in the refugee camps. And that's the way its been since 1949. ted
