How is that even remotely fair? It is not about fair, it is about the Zionist plan.

I wouldn't target and murder innocent people, while hiding behind civilians who where supposedly on my side, trying to get them killed so that I could get some bad PR for the other. But that's what American revolutionaries did? What, exactly, are you referring to? Not that that would make it okay, or anything -- but I'm not quite sure what incident you're talking about.

But that's what American revolutionaries did? No it isn't. First, Egypt and Syria attacked Israel......not the Palestinians. And Egypt and Jordan controlled the West Bank and Gaza. They lost those territories, Israel was attacked from or through them, so they took them. The Palestinians have never had a standing army. Not true, but they have never had an effective standing army. Every time an Arab gov't attacked Israel, Israel used the excuse to take more from the Palestinians. For the most part Israel didn't take it from the Palestinians. The Palestinians never had control over it. The Ottomans, or the British, or Egypt, or Jordan did. Its too bad that Palestinian refugees are not treated as other refugees. UNHCR tries to help refugees get on with their lives, while UNRWA (which deals only with Palestinians), and Arab government have kept Palestinian refugees in very poor conditions, using the poor conditions as a PR attack weapon against Israel. Also oddly it defines decedents of the original refugees as refugees. Jewish people lost their property in Arab nations, and didn't receive compensation, but they have moved on to new lives in Israel. Palestinians are kept in camps. I agree that Palestinian people have been treated unfairly, but its by their own leaders, and Arab governments, and even the UN (which tilts towards Palestinian leadership over Israel, but that doesn't help the Palestinian people much), as much as it is by Israel.
