If anyone cares, the UN estimate of Palestsinan refugees extrenally diaplaced from Israel in 1948 was actually 750,000.
And what makes you think the forcible removal of more than three million unwilling Palestinians to countries that might not be willing to accept them could possibly be carried out without slaughter?
When it first occurred, was the failed Easter Rebellion in 1916. And if I’m not mistaken, quite a few Protestants were part of the movement.
However, do we really want Israel and Palestine to end up like Ireland-generations of fighting and terrorism?
It already has been through generations of fighting and terrorism. And, Alessan, looking at the most recent Irish census, Protestants make up about 3% of the population of the Republic. This is down from 9% in 1911. Here’s the complete report.
True, but when you consider Ireland’s was under England since the Middle Ages, it’s a pretty bleak scenario.
Would that you could just gather up all the people who want to fight and spread violence and hate and just ship them off to an island somewhere and let everyone else live their lives.
Ireland, perhaps?
The entire Muslim worlds rulers are corrupt, thats why the palestinians are still in refugee camps. And although I completely disagree with everything you just said, I have to say that if the muslim world wants thier land back and wants to put the palestinians back in thier homes what they first have to do is solve the issues within themselves. Their leaders care not for the cause of Palestine but rather for thier own wealth and well bieng.
However with which right does Isreal exist let alone push back the palestinians further. I’m sure you wouldnt be this happy if dozens of refugees landed on the shores of your country siezed the land pushed your people back and killed thousands. After which your neighbours tried to come to your aid and failed.
There are two solutions to this problem. I am not a muslim but I have studied the muslim faith in detail. The need for palestine and having what is yours (as justice would have it) as well as the true Jihad (I’m not talking about al-qaeda America hating muslims i’m talking about those wanting to return to thier land, is dug so deeply into the religion that only the eradication of Islam or the Muslim’s or that part of thier religion would solve that problem. The other solution is just as bloody. The eradication of the state of Isreal. Believe it or not one side is trying to rid of the mentality of Jihad, the other is trying to rid of Isreal, it’s happening now. Infact you will find that in Iraq a knew quran has been issued which does not contain anything supporting Jihad or the land of palestine. (thier is very little left of it).
Oh and by the way, I can tell you this and you don’t have to believe me, just listen to arabs and muslims around the world, this issue is something to die for (really to die for) in the latest lebanon war that has just finished, Egyptians and Syrians were demonstrating begging their governments if not to go to war with Isreal to at least open thier borders and let them through without the army (this is coming from the average Joe civilian thier were thousands in the streets).
Isreal will never find peace among the arabs or muslims.
What about the nearly a million Jews who were expelled or driven out of their homes in the Arab world? Do they get their land back? Do they get compensated for being stripped of their possessions and having lived as dhimmis for centuries under Muslim Apartheid?
Jews were in the Middle East before Islam even existed. Why not kick the Muslim usurpers out of Medina and give it back to the Jews?
