You've over simplified and completely ignored so many unsavory details it's unreal.

You did that Antipas. I didnt say you were wrong or lying or off base. Only that you were giving one side of the information.
As Ive said it is a complex mess, but suggesting as you have that Palisinians just wanted their land back is overly simplistic as anything youve accused me of saying.
The jewsih people would have settled for a two state solution then and are trying pretty hard to get there now.
and you have not dealt with the fact that many Arabs did stay in Isreal and are citizens of Isreal. ALL of those who lived there could have been part of the state had they chosen to.
And lets deal with this idea that this problem is akin to Americans being forced to be part of an Indian state.
Bro, there was NO STATE in this area for years. It has been under some other nations control for thousands of years. there was no functioning state for these people to make some claim to be part of.
Many of the Arabs that you call palistinians were Jordainian Arabs that were forced by their governemnt to immigrate in a land grab intended to block the creation of a Jewish state.
And in all the wars between the "Zionist State" as you like to call it, and the Arab states, the Arabs have been the agressors. the "Zionists" didnt attack anybody. They just beat the mess out of all comers...repeatedly.
so the notion that the "Zionists" were out to distroy all of Palistine becomes a bit difficult for me to swallow.
But look we can go rounds about this history till the cows come home. and we wont agree on too many points I presume.
That doesnt really help us. The problem now is what next? What is to be done now?
i think there is clear indication that Barak Obama will work toward a solution that jepordizes Isreal. I believe there has to be a 2 state solution and I believe that Palistine will have to move away from its stated position that Isreal must be distroyed.
