Hi David,

Another question:

* What are the boundaries of the 'State of Palestine' and do they encroach on the territory of any other State ?

Cheers,

Joe

"Refugee" is synonymous with 'crook'.

David, your push to get rid of all the Palestinians living in the West Bank seems to be nothing but a blatant attempt of ethnic cleansing.

Hi David T.,

I don't know how you came to that conclusion from David S.'s article. I thought he was suggesting that once those issues were cleared up, (and perhaps including the one I suggested), then Israel and the 'State of Palestine' could get down to the business of recognising each other, within mutually agreed boundaries, i.e. as is.

Then perhaps Mr Abbas could complete his twentieth year of a four-year term. And Hamas could continue to behead and stone and shoot its own citizens in peace. After all, isn't Hamas an adherent to the religion of peace ?

Or maybe that's just 'peace after unconditional surrender' ?

Shalom,

Joe

WTF are you rabbiting on about David? Refugee camps presented as gravy trains!?

You drive people from their homes and then bulldoze their humble hovels, olive orchards and what have you, effectively destroying their only source of viable income?

And then protest that some outside agency is stepping in to educate and FEED and attend some of the health needs these deliberately displaced folk.

I just don't know what planet you're living on David, it just can't be the same one that includes refugee camps filled to massively overflowing with displaced Palestinians, following the seizure of their stolen land and destroyed financial independance.

What did you expect? That they would be so reduced that they would come cap in hand begging for a few crumbs and your preferred settlement demands?

What were you thinking? That the rest of the world would turn a blind eye to the ethnic cleansing?

I suppose when you've displaced or destroyed around six million Arabs, some of this land theft can be curtailed?

What's Nethanyahu's goal here, the west bank?

Hi Rhosty,

Perhaps I read David's article differently, but he did advocate that:

" .... 190000 Palestinian Arab refugees living in 19 camps .... be resettled and fully integrated among their fellow Palestinian Arabs."

Presumably that means that they should be resettled in the State of Palestine ? That they should be fully integrated among their fellow Palestinians in the State of Palestine ? Properly housed in the State of Palestine ?

Is he wrong to suggest that people can't really be refugees in their own country ?

Cheers,

Joe
