Jesus wept, the Balfour Declaration was 107 years ago, how long do these feckers need to sort their affairs out ?

The Palestinians will never forgive the Nakba of 1948 and the Jews are still stealing their land right now.

Something will have to give somewhere, but what has always amazed me is the lack of support the Palestinians get from the Arab States, I suppose they are just all scared to death of the Star Wars military capability of US backed Israel.

"Nakba" has become code for "the creation of Israel." Palestinians will not "forgive" is the existence of Israel. The mainstream position among Palestinians is that Israel must cease to exist, and the Jews must leave.



The slogan is true: If the Palestinians stopped fighting, there would be peace; if Israel stopped fighting, there would be a Holocaust.

I think, especially in the case of Jordan and Egypt, they long ago came to the conclusion that hosting Pallys is far, far, far more trouble than it's worth.
