Parsing this abuse of the English language, I can get that you think the
Palestinians had a "country". You might want to check your history. You
might want to look at the plight of Arabs who live in Israel and who have
not sworn to kill al of the Jews. They have greater freedom to practice
their religion in the way they choose, greater security, political

freedom,

and in virtually every manner a better life with more freedom than those

in

any Arab state or that the Palestinians would have had if Israel had never
existed.


Can they marry someone from the West Bank and not have problems with the
Israeli Government?

Well, no more so than (for instance) an East Berliner who married a
West Berliner anytime between about 1945 and 1990, or for that matter
anyone who marries someone across what amounts to a fortified border
with a less than friendly neighboring country.

To be honest, I don't believe there are any restrictions on marriage.
As far as actually getting to live with the new spouse, that might well
be a problem, but again, no more so than someone marrying a non-resident
alien in many countries.
