"Did you just forget that the UN divided the area into a Jewish state and an Arab state, and the Jews accepted the partition, but the Arabs chose war, death, violence and racial hatred over peace and brotherhood?" No, but I am aware that Ben Gurion was pissed at the amount of land UN authorized and wanted more. That there was a planned pogrom excuse me, program of removing Palestinians, actually driving them out, because a jewish state wouldn't be possible with the arab majority. I am aware that the Zionists worked very hard to separate the issue of a jewish state and a palestinian state. I am aware that there are propagandists on these web sites spreading stories that are blatantly untrue. "Did you just forget that the Palestinians had the highest standard of living among Arab populations, but then decided in Sept 2000 that they preferred war over peace" There you go again with that argument stolen from the US in the 1860's " our darkies or nigras (or whatever term you bigots use) have the best standard of living in the world. They should be happy being slaves. They wouldn't know what to do with their own freedom. Look there isn't a free nation in Africa.. blah blah" This is the 21st century. That type of reasoning is not in vogue anymore. " There is no doubt that if the Arabs accepted partition and decided to have another Arab state in 1947, and to live in peace and coexistence with Israel's Jews, that everyone in the area would be living very well and in peace." You need to read the autobiographies of the jewish leaders of the time and stop repeating the stories your grandmother told you.
