>I believe in a neutral third party's historical accounting of the events that led the Palestinians into refugee camps. No where does it say that the Palestinians left their property so that the Zionists could have it. Which neutral third party? Even Benny Morris, who's a major source for those who say that Israel expelled the Palestinians, said recently that his research shows that much of the mass exodus of Palestinians happened because their own leaders told them to leave. >No, it isn't. Its a negotiating point that the Israelis refuge to acknowledge. No one expects the Israelis to give Israel back to the Palestinians. It's a demographic time bomb. >So do we stay with the definition from the 70s, or do we evolve? Most of the Palestinian leadership still buys the original definition, so why should we think otherwise? >I am talking about before the 1948 war........about the UN partition. The Palestinian portion has never been acknowledged nor turned into a state. In fact, over the years, Israel has whittled away at it. That's what I was talking about. It was supposed to be a Palestinian state, but the Arabs, not the Zionists, declined it. The Arabs at the time, for the most part, didn't consider Palestinians a separate people. They thought that Palestine should be part of Syria. -Z
