The Palestinian dilemma

What is wrong with the Arabs who have called themselves “Palestinians” since 1964, when the PLO was founded in Egypt to get rid of the infidels in MENA (Middle East and North Africa)?

In the British Mandate for Palestine, only Jews were called Palestinians.

Have today’s Palestinians not yet figured out that no one cares about them?

Do they not remember that in the 1948 war, Egypt took Gaza and Jordan occupied the West Bank? Why did they not create “Palestine?” The answer is they recognized no Arabs called Palestinians. Their goal was to drive out the infidels and split up the land.

How convenient for them to have the United Nations designate any Arab who lost a home in the war as a refugee if he had lived more than two years under the Mandate. The Jordanians offered anyone in the West Bank citizenship. The Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians and Egyptians set up refugee camps and sucked money out of UNRWA, supposedly to help the destitute. Later Fatah and Hamas joined in.

Now is the best time for the Arabs to work with Israel and set up two states. Now, while non-Arabs are still willing to pay, and while Iran and Hezbollah are being kept at bay, they can make a deal with Israel and enjoy the prosperity their Israeli Arab brothers enjoy and develop a prosperous society. With the West paying and Israel cooperating, they have the opportunity to succeed.

But this means throwing off the psychopaths who run the PA, Fatah and Hamas. It means accepting the Jewish state of Israel. It means acknowledging that if Israel were to be destroyed, there would never be a place called Palestine.

However, perhaps the Palestinians would rather kill the infidels than have a country. That is their dilemma. LEN BENNETT
