Penelope, et al,
Oh Please...
(OBSERVATION and REFERENCE)Let the Saudis or Syrians or Jordanians or Somalians deal with them.The Jewish people were not colonizing a place because they thought they would be welcome there or because there was lots of empty space. The Jewish people were not colonizing at all. The Jewish people were returning to a homeland from which they were forcibly removed -- a homeland of great physical and emotional connection. A homeland from which we grew and became established and created a history.Maybe Israel should have colonized a different country.
Why is the Jewish attachment to our homeland so much LESS of significance than the Palestinian attachment to their home?
If your response is the solution to the conflict -- why don't we just remove all the Palestinians to their own territory -- suggestions have so far included the US generally, Wisconsin specifically, Uganda, Madagascar and I believe Western Australia. Which would the Palestinians like to have?
No point in inflicting 4-5 million Arab losers on any part of modern Christendom.
Rather than penalizing NPOs for funding Israeli settlements...
Why don't we encourage NPOs to fund a resettlement of the dumb-ass Palestinians, in some other part of the Muslim world?
Let the Arabs deal with their own mad dogs.
Palestinians were there first, haven't you heard, the Irgun and Lehi groups were known as terrorist by the US, Britain, UN, and even get this the Zionist Organization.
• The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigade is named after the militant anti-Zionist opponent (of the same same) of in 1920s and 1930s. Sheikh Izz ad-Din al Qassam was a Islamic Revivalist Missionary --- turned --- Radicalized Islamic Fundamentalist. Sheikh al-Qassam, was a known criminal associate of Hajj Amin al-Husseini, a former Ottoman Army Officer --- turned ---cleric and later appointed as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. After the 1929 Riots in Jerusalem, Sheikh al-Qassam founded the Palestinian Black Hand; a Jihadist Group responsible for the terrorist campaign between the 1929 Riots and the 1939 Arab Revolt.
• The Lehi Group (AKA Stern Gang) was a splinter group that formed out of the Irgun in 1940 (stood down and was demilitarized in December 1948). The Irgun (AKA: Etzel) was a Revisionist splinter group formed in 1931 out of the Haganah. The Irgun was reintegrated and assimilated into the Haganah in May 1948, which transitioned into the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) on Independence Day. In October 1945 the Jewish Agency attempted to re-organized the Haganah, Irgun and Lehi into a consolidated paramilitary command known as the Jewish Resistance Movement (JRM). The JRM was short lived as a central force with a unified command.
(COMMENT)
I am, and most people are, aware that the Irgun and the Lehi were considered extremist groups that carried out acts of sabotage and terrorism against the British Civil Authorities and Military Activities. As we also know, both sides (Jewish and Arab), until 1948, were known to engage in such nefarious activities. Yet, Israel eventually evolved out of that character, as did the Egyptians, Jordanians, and Lebanese. But the Arab-Palestinians did not. And it is not expected that they will anytime soon. The legacy of Izz ad-Din al- Qassam lives on in the Military Wing of HAMAS, and honored in the locally made rocket it fires. The legacy lives on every time the Palestinians kidnap and murder the unarmed,
attack place civilians objects of no military value, hijack ships and planes, ambush buses of the aged tourists and school children .... Arab-Palestinians are known for their seven decades of all horrendous and abhorrent act of a dishonorable nature. These Arab attacks target the young and the infirm, as well as the old and disabled; those that can't defend themselves. They are much too ashamed to engage the IDF mano-a-mano.
"The first Arab riots of the Mandate period took place in Jerusalem in the intermediary days of Passover, in March 1920 (“Bloody Passover”). They were instigated by Arabs acting on unfounded rumors of Jewish actions against Arabs. The British military authorities did not intervene in the Arab attacks, while Vladimir Jabotinsky and other Jews were arrested for organizing a self-defense league. In April 1920, Joseph Trumpeldorand others were killed in the defense of Tel Hai, a settlement in the Upper Galilee. These developments led to the founding of the Haganah on June 15, 1920."

Indeed, Britain sure made a mess of things. None of that would have happened without them.
It would have been much worse, and the arab muslims would have wiped out the Jews in a very short time. The blame lies with the arab's who should have been told in 1917 take it all or take nothing. Then when they still demanded more they should have lost their lands as being incapable of free determination and the next in line given a chance. The leaders would soon pull it together and stop being idiotic.
