The WORD Palestinian didn't even exist until Arafat coined it in order to incite bloodshed. Were there people living in the place we now call Israel? Yes. Were they self-governing? No. Did they have the right to vote? No. Were they encouraged to stay and assist in building the land for the betterment of all? Yes. Did they choose to do that? No. Instead, they declared war on Israel and ALL JEWS the very minute the state left British rule.
So you know. I have a hard time with liberal guilt and manipulated history when it's used to support people whose entire agenda is to kill everyone like me. Which is pretty much why I don't give a flying fart what you or your father in law think of Israel.
