And what of the jews living all over the middle east forced to leave their home countries? where are the reparations for them? where is their right of return? |
They ended up in a first-world country. Who's complaining?

That's a very naive way of seeing it. Jews have been prosecuted in Spain in the middle ages, even all of them departed in 1492, in Germany 6 million killed, in the Communist countries, South America... They have been fleeing from place to place, it's not that they had luck.

Interesting to note though.... when asked, more Arabs in Eastern Jerusalem say they would rather be a part of the Israeli state then the Palestinian state.
Something like 40% of people polled actually say that if the two state solution happened and Palestine gained control of East Jersualem they would leave their homes to stay on the Israeli side. Versus something like... 26% the other way.

Not to say discrimiantion is right, (if there even is significant discrimination) but it's clearly considered preferable to living in a Palestinian state.
