The "Palestinian" people have been there as long as the Jewish people and in fact, include Jews.. Saying that isn't being "anti-Jewish". Admitting that other people besides Jews also have an ancient claim to those lands is not being anti-Semitic. Nor is it being "brain washed".
They have a right to self determination. They have a right to a state. NO people should be kept in a perpetual state of non-citizenship or statelessness in the hopes they'll conveniently disappear or be moved some place else.
The Palestinians were not "implanted" there. Any more than the Jews were. Those that insist that one but not the other has any right there are themselves "brainwashed".

It really is a worthwhile read if you can get past the fact it was written by an economics professor.
