Don't know about you, but the land i live in is my country A country of one, is it? Is that like an Army of one? You've typed this same stuff before, many times, always trying to make out like no wrong was done to the indigenous, because gee golly whiz, there were no indigenous, except for a few effendis that we paid off and they went away smiling in their motorcars There were indigenous, apart from a substantial minority of the recent immigrants. They just weren't a country. They didn't have the notion of being a country, anymore than your neighbors have the notion of being in "the country of marcos". The lack of this notion affected their behavior. Yes, many Palestinian peasants and landowners suffered wrongs. There, you happy? They were not alone to suffer the ill effects of war and new country formation in the 20th century! BUT they were only ones with the Zionists for their enemies so they are the only ones you care about or notice. They've had far far more care and welfare and support than the other 99% of the world's refugees. Like Mq says, the Arabs started a war of conquest and then began to bleat about how unfair it was that they lost it. Naturally it was the peasants that suffered the most, not the leaders or the effendi class. If there had been no war, they would have kept their property. If there had been a peace treaty after the war, they would have gotten their property back or gotten proper compensation. But their leaders picked war with No Peace No Recognition No Negotiation. When leaders don't care about the people's welfare, the people will suffer.
