<<<It wasn't the Palestinians who attacked the Israelis in 1948, and ever since there has not been an opportunity for the Palestinians to have their own state..............>>> Easily done. Just go to google and enter "Palestine". Huh? Excuse me but I did that months ago. Here is the material at the website to which you linked me.....remember this is your link, not mine. Briefly, the time line below which was found with your link provides the following info: In 1947, the Israelis began the ethnic cleansing of the cities and village within what was to be the borders of the new Israeli state. The Palestinians resist moving....there are clashes. Eventually the Palestinians either flee or are forced to leave.....almost overnite there are hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. As Israel's independence day approaches, major military shipments are arriving in the port city of Haifa from Europe. The Arabs underestimate the size of these shipments which are coming from a Jewish military unit that fought in WWII. By the time these shipments end, the Zionist/Israeli firepower will be far superior to anything the Arabs have. The Israelis continue their ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian countryside. The Palestinians do not agree to the UN partition plan. Simultaneously, the neighboring Arab countries are warning the Palestinians to flee their Palestinian homes; that an attack by the Israel's new neighbors is imminent. On the day of Israel's independence, Lebanese units began moving down from the north. Then the Syrians attacked from the Northeast, the Iraqis from the Northwest and the Egyptians from the East. Within a year, all had been repelled by the Israelis. The Arab attack had failed. In the meantime, millions of Palestinians had become homeless. The Israelis would not allow them back into Israel, and the surrounding Arab countries did not want them. The Palestinians were pushed into refugee camps, many of which still exist today on the West Bank. As I sad in my post to Brian 101, it was not the Palestinians who attacked the Israelis. Their crime was that they supported their Arab brethren over the Israelis. They really had no choice.......previously, the Zionist Council had pretty much concluded that the Arabs and the Zionist would not coexist well........its why the Israelis were forcing Palestinians out of the cities and villages. Since then, the Israelis have ignored the original partition plan for Palestine and ignored all subsequent UN resolutions calling for a new Palestinian state. The Palestinians had their shot in 1947 and passed on it. Its proven to be their undoing. ted 1948 - January: AbdulQadir al-Husseini returns to Palestine from exile and becomes active in resisting the partition - January 8 - 10: Arab Salvation Army's first unit of 330 fighters arrives in Palestine, meets resistance from both Britain and Zionist organizations - January 14: The Haganah stockpiles on arms, mainly imported from Czechoslovakia, including artillery, machine guns, ammunition and 25 planes. - January 16: British report to the UN estimates 1974 killed during the period November 30, 1947 and January 10, 1948 - January 20: Britain says it'll hand over administration according to local majority in each area - January 21 - 28: an extra 760 volunteers arrive to join Arab Salvation Army (ASA) - January - March: Jewish National Fund encourages the expulsion of Arabs from Haifa.
