"The Jews accepted their partition, and the Arabs rejected their partition and attacked the Jews, trying to murder, rape, maim and drive out ALL Jews from the area. The Arab world has been trying to murder and drive out ALL Jews from the Middle East well before Israel, and ever since."

Common Barry, cut the crap. Ben Gurion, when he found out that he was going to get the "Greater Israel" was pissed purple. Count Blernodotte, the UN rep who was effecting a cease fire was assassinated by Israeli's in uniform because they wanted to expand the land they had before fighting started. The settlements were started to make it impossible for a viable Palestinian state to exist. The autobiographies and biographies of some of Israel's fathers dispute your comments. If we are going back into 60 year ago history, be accurate and forget the tales you heard sitting at the feet of your bubba.

By the way, the Palestinian refugees were NOT the ones who did the fighting in 48 and 67. These were unarmed people who fled in panic after the massacre at Deir Yassin. Further exageration of the massacre by the stern gang put fear in the hearts of unarmed civilians.
