You wrote:"The Israelis want Gaza and the West Bank for themselves." The Arabs have vast amounts of land. The Palestinians have nothing......not even their own state. A lot of it used to belong to Jews, but it was taken away from Jews by Arabs. It did? What exactly belonged to the Jews? I must have missed that part in world history. Jews have been cornered into a small speck of land, surrounded by vicious, backward, violent Arabs who only live to destroy them. If so, why are the Israelis killing 4 times as many Palestinians as the Palestinians are killing Israelis? The facts do not back up your story......in fact, it sounds like a neocon fantasy......much like WMDs in Iraq. You seem confused as to why Israelis might not want to live next to terrorists. The Israelis CHOSE to move to Palestine in the early part of the 20th century........in fact, they decided to do so at a convention in Austria in 1896. They knew Arabs lived there and had done so for centuries but they never bothered to ask the Palestinians if they minded giving up their land. At the end of WW II, they were offered land in Africa and S. America because the Palestinians did not want them in Palestine....naturally they didn't like that the Zionists had taken their land. However, the Israelis CHOSE to turn down the land offers in Africa and S. America, and stay in Palestine. Any more made up facts to tell me? Better do your homework before posting me......the truth is out there but you have to look for it!
