Yes, they've had trouble with this part. I'd prefer they had the intelligence, decent leadership and the other Arab nations to show them the way. They almost made it in Jordan, but Arafat blew it.
they're attached to their homeland and will fight for it until they feel there's no hope.
That's pretty damning of these people. Makes them out to be anachronistic un-changing suicidal fools. While the other Arabs treat them as useful idiot cannon fodder.
They were attached to Jordan for a while, they can become attached to a new home without the destruction of Israel - if all the radical terrorists, governments included, in the region weren't blowing up every chance they get.
The problem is far from being all the displaced people attached to their homeland as usual. If it were, you'd have Jewish refugee camps bombing Arab states that kicked them out sixty years ago.
Your opinion of these folks is much lower than most.
It isn't. There was an article in the Jerusalam Post a few days ago which provided an explanation.
The peoples of the surrounding states may not like Israel but they can go on with their lives. Palestinians are reminded on a daily basis, in the most direct and brutal ways, of what they've lost and how poorly they live...and there's very little they can do about it. Their "state" is to small and poor to provide them with opportunity.
Now, if the Arabs were truly one people the Arab part of the West Bank would be joined to Jordan while Gaza would become part of Egypt. I think that was the motivation behind Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. But it faces huge obstacles because Jordanians do NOT want more Palestinians and Egyptians aren't crazy about them either.
Even Europeans are finding it hard to give up tribe and nationality. Arab society and religion are medieval. For them it's impossible.
