I'm not a progressive, and what has occupying a land has to do with a majority or a minority ?Palestinians were the majority and had the majority of the land before 1948.
Interesting how progressives reject minority rights when the minority is Jews.
That's why I dont like to discuss this issue with most cons, you have 0 clue about it apart from what AIPAC media tells you.I'm sorry but your claim is wrong....Palestinians live in most Arab countries, and they were always welcomed....there are still to this day Palestinian refuge camps since the 1948 (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan....).
The Palestinians spent 20 years under Jordanian and Egyptian control where they were starved, killed, and marginalized.
Jordan killed 4,000 Jordanian Palestinians in 1970 and 1971.
I don't see any proportional outrage here.
It would be helpful if you could provide credible proof of your claims - along with relevant context.
The ignorance is stunning. Have you ever wondered why no Arab Nation wants the Palestinians? Wow.....just wow. And Isreal is the bad guy?
Please educate yourself. Black September - Wikipedia
Wrong. Both Jordan and Saudi Arabia will not accept Palestinian refuges and have not for decades. If things are as bad as you and others state than why don't Palestinians immigrate to other Arab countries? The answer is because they are not wanted.
Activists have been criticizing Israeli policies towards Palestinians long before the Minnesota congresswoman.
NEW YORK (AP) — For Congress, the allegations of anti-Semitism directed toward Rep. Ilhan Omar have no precedent. Yet on college campuses, in state legislatures and in many other venues nationwide, the polarized debate about Israel is a familiar conflict and likely to intensify in the months and years ahead.
Fueled by a wave of youthful activists, including many Jews aligning with Muslims, criticism of Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians has grown in volume and scope, with persistent calls for boycotts and disinvestment. Pro-Israel organizations and politicians have countered with tough responses, and efforts to reconcile the differences have gained little traction.
Among those fearing escalation is Deborah Lipstadt, a history professor at Emory University and author of a new book, “Antisemitism: Here and Now,” about the recent resurgence of anti-Semitism in the United States and Europe. She calls herself an optimist, but she says it’s hard to be hopeful in the current political climate.
“Leaders on the left and the right are using this phenomenon as a way of drumming up support, claiming they’re victims,” she said. “I fear it will get far worse before it gets better.”
Congress has never experienced this kind of furor involving a Muslim member accused of anti-Semitism.
Omar, a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota, sparked turmoil within the Democratic caucus with her criticisms of Israel and suggestions that Israel’s supporters wanted lawmakers to pledge “allegiance” to a foreign country. Divided Democrats eventually drafted a resolution that condemned a wide range of bigotry and did not mention Omar by name.
One of the first two Muslim women in Congress, Omar supports a contentious part of the overall dispute — the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, or BDS, which promotes various forms of boycotts against Israel.

This is a debate worth having - and long overdue. Arabs are also Semites, so anti-Semitism also applies to Palestinians. Does anyone not think that Palestinians have been discriminated against? What do you think?
Anyone in doubt of Omar's criticisms doesn't have to look any further than S. 170 Combating BDS Act of 2017Omar, a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota, sparked turmoil within the Democratic caucus with her criticisms of Israel and suggestions that Israel’s supporters wanted lawmakers to pledge “allegiance” to a foreign country.

The prime minister addressed “slightly confused people” after an Israeli celebrity defended the rights of Israel’s Arab population.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is the homeland “only of the Jewish people,” in a new jab at the country’s Arab minority ahead of April’s election.
Netanyahu on Sunday addressed “slightly confused people” after an Israeli celebrity defended the rights of Israel’s Arab population. Arabs comprise about 20 percent of Israel’s 9 million residents. They have full citizenship rights but have faced decades of discrimination.

Nutanyahoo and his hardliners are a major part of the problem in Israel. Voters can do better.
And the 3 million in the West Bank? Do they have citizenship?The prime minister addressed “slightly confused people” after an Israeli celebrity defended the rights of Israel’s Arab population.

Funny......Palestinians in Israel have citizenship but in Arab Countries they do not. Yeah.....I guess Israel is really evil. Again...please educate yourself. This is getting painfully.
"Virtually all Arab countries host some Palestinian refugees. What they have declined to do is grant those Palestinians and their descendants full citizenship - as a result, Palestinians living in the Arab world endure miserable living and working conditions."
