OK I am not a fan of the Palestinian people or even Isreal but why shouldn't the Palestinians have their own state. Right now they are a bunch of thugs that occupy land that they're not giving up without dying. If the Palestinians were their own state/country wouldn't thy be subject to all the rules/laws that the UN applies to them?
I'm ignorant on this argument and I understand how many Arabs can see the Jews as terrorists just like most of us see the Palestinians as terrorists. What are all the pros and cons to this?

What will the people that have that land now say, when we take it away to make a Palestinian state.
Will you donate your home for part of it?
To: Common Tator
Are you talking about the land Isreal took away from the Arabs?
To: america-rules
Not anymore. To give them there own state now would invite more terrorist acts against the US in an attempt to drive us out of the region all together.

What a concept. if the Palestinians had their own state, all the Islamic fanatics could be consolidated in one region. One bomb would get 'em all.

Why not? Here is why:
Hope that clarifies it.

Ship them all to Afghanistan and tell them that anything they can keep is their Palestinian state.

How about Madagascar? Would Palestinians find its climate hospitable?

What have you got against Madagascar?

Leave that island alone.

You have been taken in by Arab/Palestinian propaganda. The Palestinians have always had a homeland, a state of their own. It's called Jordan. The population there has been nearly two-thirds Palestinian for centuries. The West Bank and Gaza lands were not occupied by significant numbers of Palestinians until the British took over the area in the 1920s. Those lands weren't the Palestinians' historical homeland, those were historically Arab and Jewish lands.

The issue is not "their own State". The issue is they hate Jews.
In light of that, you could give the Palis Israel, Palm Beach AND Greenwich Village, and they STILL would assault the Jews, to the ends of the Earth.
For that reason, the issue of their "own State" is a non-issue. The issue is they're insane.
To: america-rules
Well, let's see. The UN forced Syria and Egypt to cede land in 1948. Over 70% is now Jordan. Seems to me the Arabs got theirs. On top of that, most "Palestinians" are actually from other countries and immigrated to Israel at the "request" of their home country in the last 50 years.

But...they are such NICE people. They only throw back rocks, after all

I know a nice piece of property they could camp out on in NY, owned by one of their main supporters.

Those that fail to learn history are doomed to forever repeat it. So sad.
The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.
To: america-rules
I have a better idea. There are what, 5 million Israelies? Let's just move all but the criminal class over here, give them the desert in Nevada or something. They can take all their property with them and burn the rest. Let the Palestinians have the whole county.
We would gain a lot of productive citizens. The terrorists would lose this cause. The Arabs could fight with each other and we would no longer have to send billions of dollars over to prop up Israel.

The Palestinians (and the vast majority of all Arabs IMHO) will be happy with nothing less than the utter destruction of Israel. It's really and truly just that simple.
