Many Arabs, those that are referred to as Palestinians, abandoned their land at the behest of their fellow Arabs in Jordan, Syria, etc. They were to leave while the Arab states drove the Jews into the sea, then the Arabs would return and have all of the land. Israel would not exist. But the Arabs lost the war, and those that had abandoned their land within the new state of Israel were now homeless. The Arabs that didn't abandon their land are now citizens of Israel. They vote, hold seats in the Knesset, and have the highest standard of living among any Arabs in the world. Other than the relative few that control large quantities of oil, of course. |

![]() "Tom Sixkiller" wrote in message ... ??? IIRC, "Palestine" is a subset. A subset of what? In 1923 the British separated the Palestine Mandate at the Jordan River. The portion of Palestine east of the Jordan, about three fourths of the total area, became Transjordan and Jews were not permitted to settle there. A few years later the British added the area of desert connecting Transjordan with Iraq. In 1946 Transjordan became an independent nation and was renamed Jordan. |

Unfortunately the Palestinians don't have any land. Never did. Israel did not kick the Palestinians out of present day Israel. Not only that, but there really is NO SUCH thing as the Palestinian people. They are Arabs. Period. www.Rosspilot.com |
