Just make them go away, even if we have to starve a bunch of them to do it.

Why the hell not, Steven? the Jewish refugees went away, didn't they? And there were MORE of them than the Arab refugees.

While we're at it, the German refugees of the Sudatenland went away, didn't they? and of East Prussia? and the Hindu and Muslim refugees of the partition of India went away too, didn't they? In fact, every single group of refugees from fifty years ago and more has gone away, resettled, found new lives for themselves and their children. Except one. The Palestinians. Only they are refugees to the 4th and 5th generation, because none of their "brother" Arabs - except Jordan - would take them in. They preferred to use them as grist for the mill.

So don't give me this crock about how the refugees have "caused" this conflict. They are a proxy force for what the Arabs couldn't accomplish directly.
