True... I have a great deal of personal feeling for the Palestinians as you, I just think we place more of the blame on different parties. I know it's a non-factor now, but if I was all powerful (and could snap my fingers to make it happen) I would overthrow the Hashemite throne and give the Kingdom of Jordan to the Palestinians, and let the Israelis keep all of Israel from the "river to the sea". I've always supported the idea of a 100% Palestinian Kingdom east of the river.. I've never been a fan of the Kingdom being run by the decendants of Abdullah. Actually, the original mandate long before 181, spelled out this precise plan... The Palestinians (or Arab's of Palestine as it was originally described, but same difference) were supposed to get that. |
While that idea may seem fair in nature, its still isn't right to displace people from their homes.
The best policy would have been to allow Palestine to exist as a state under the conditions that the migrant Jewish Europeans be protected by law and their legally purchased lands stay as such.
However, I realize that the realism is that too much anger had already fostered between the two segments and the Jews probably would have been under constant aggrivation or at best considered 2nd class citizens.
