Israel & Palestine Forum

This is my first time here on this board. I'm glad I stumbled across this website. I was hoping for some input from anyone who wishes to respond. I am taking a summer class, International Politics. I chose Israel as my topic based on international relations. I have a few general questions that were raised in my textbooks. I'd appreciated anyone who would like to respond by being rather specific. Thanks to all who can help.
The establishment of a Palestinian state would:
1. Rectify an historic injustice to the Arabs.
2. End Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory.
3. Bring peace and stability to the Middle East.
4. It will solve the Arab refugee problem.
5. It will encourage civic and economic development, raise the standard of living and bring contentment to the people.
6. Have the Arab people been treated unfairly or has it been primarily the Jews?

1. There was no injustice. arabs lost a war they started.

2. Yes, Jews do occupy Judea and Samaria....as they should.

3. You mean a peace where Israel gives away their land in exchange for a worthless piece of paper and the arabians plot Israel's destruction? No thank you - been there, done that.

4. arabian refugees are an arabian problem. Plenty of land in arabian countries for the last remaining arabians that were originally from Palestine to settle. Israel resettled 800,000 Jewish refugees from "arabian lands".

5. No more handout to arabians - let them start by creating SOMETHING - rather than destroying. It's high time they earned it.

6. Message for arabians: stop teaching hate in your schools and polluting the minds of your youngin's. It's really disgraceful.

7) Become a launching pad for more attacks on Israel as Gaza is now. Try reading the PLO charter.
