===> philv, you said: ===> "Quite simply, the Palestinians want back the land they occupied before the Balfour Declaration and the creation of the state of Israel almost 60 years ago." <===

Then let the Palestinians return to Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc. from which they came.

By all rights, legal, historic and rationally, Jews should be governing all of the land, including Gaza and the West Bank. Before Jews developed the land of Palestine, turning desert into farmland, there were few Arabs in Palestine. Jews developed Palestine, changed it from swamps and deserts into a prosperous region, drawing Arabs into Palestine, looking for jobs and a better life.

The UN subsequently partitioned Palestine, granting the areas with a majority Jewish population, to be governed by Jews, and granting areas with a majority Arab population to be governed by Arabs. Jews accepted their partition, and built a civilized, powerful democracy. Arabs turned down their partition, and tried to steal ALL of Palestine by attacking and trying to murder all Jews and steal all Jewish possessions.

The Arabs of the West Bank and Gaza have built corrupt, violent and miserable areas, similar to most Arab regions, while Jews have build a successful, civilized and advanced society, Israel, which is home to Christians, Jews and Arabs.
