... For over sixty years, the holier-than-thou calls for the “right of return” of these “Palestinian" refugees and their descendents has been in one direction only: the Arabs have clamored for tiny Israel to take them in – without acknowledging the obvious and logical alternative, that the geographically massive family of Arab countries could and should be the ones to make room for them.

Such a sensible resolution, however, would rob the Arab world of their pawns in this century-long war against the Jews. Who then would live in the apartment buildings that house the rocket launchers? Who then would attend the schools where terror is taught? Who then would raise their children to strap on bombs before climbing on buses and planes, before entering malls and restaurants? Who then would don the burka to give false shelter to the living weapon beneath?

The Palestinians and their supporters are the human shields of the anti-Israel forces – bearing the brunt of every assault, living lives of utterly unnecessary poverty, all so that the governments of Iran, Syria, and the rest can sit at the side of the table, sending distant lambs out to be slaughtered while enjoying their oil revenues and the exploitation of their own Arab populations.

Being an Arab involved in this conflict, whether in a Palestinian refugee camp or a Lebanese border village or a volunteer from across the Mediterranean, means being a human shield for the grand design of a world without a Jewish nation, even perhaps, optimally in their eyes, a world without Jews....

Once again... for the newbies...

Islam was founded and propagated by the simple belief that their god can beat up your god. It’s the bedouin way. Once people understand this, a great deal falls into place.

Why is Israel such a thorn in their sides? Because by holy writ, they are not allowed to suffer defeat (their god can’t lose and still be “greatest”). “Allah akbar” is an exhortation saying their god is greatest. It’s their battle cry. Once lands have been under Islamic rule, they must always be under Islamic rule. They can only suffer setbacks... never defeat (this explains Baghdad Bob). Therefore, they can never accept Israel as a nation... to do so is to acknowledge defeat. While some nations (Egypt) practice Al Taqiyyah (lying to the infidels to further Islam), they do everything they can to weaken Israel’s borders and security until the day they finally conquer.

I believe in the right of return....the right of the Jews to return to ALL the land promised to them by God in Genesis.

Also, the Jews have had continual prior residence in all areas of the Middle East since before Mohammed was even born. So, based on the typical claims of Muslims, they should be the ones to clear out and leave the lands to the Jews who were there, in some cases, millennia before them.

That is my point also. How do you have a claim to something that you stole in the first place?

the Arabs have clamored for tiny Israel to take them in – without acknowledging the obvious and logical alternative, that the geographically massive family of Arab countries could and should be the ones to make room for them.

It is my understanding that when the UN offered Israel as the homeland for the Jews, it also offered a chunk of land for the 'Palestinians' for their homeland, but that offer was refused, because the Arabs did not want to give any creedance to a Jewish homeland in their midst. They rejected the offer, in the name of the Palestinians, while also refusing to let those who were leaving the new state of Israel enter their countries. So those who chose to leave their homes in Israel (they were not forced out, IIRC), and ended up in Gaza and on the West Bank, were forced to live in refugee camps, which is right where the Arabs wanted them. They were ripe for being made into terrorists, because of the horrible conditions, which were forced on them by their Arab brothers, NOT the Israelis.

There were Palestinians, both Muslim and Christian, who remained in Israel, and for the most part, were left alone. It is the ones who were encouraged to terrorism who made life hard for the others who remained in Israel.
