You don't think that is interesting? Parents and schools raise the kids up to hate the Israelis, so much so that many kids will give up their life just for a 1 in 5 change at killing an Israeli. That is a lot of hate. Yet the kids want to move to the Israeli side of the fence. The Israelis don't waste any time hating the Palestinians, they are busy building a nice country. Instead of just trying to build up the Palestinian side of the fence, Hamas devotes a large part of their resources to try to hurt Israel, but with not much more luck than the kids with knives. Living under Hamas is not much better than living under ISIS. Not good. Now one of the biggest Palestinian complaints is "Apartheid" that they are being kept apart from Israel. They really hate the Israelis and yet expect Israelis to join together with Palestinians. Fascinating.

The British and the UN gave some land to Israel and they exist. Israel is not going to give up the land and vanish. As long as there is a huge amount of hate it is silly to think Israelis would join with Palestinians.

It is like Palestinians can't face reality and deal with it. It is like the Arabs not putting Israel on their maps to this day. Some sort of wishful thinking and avoiding dealing with the real world.

You are pathetic, vince.

One more yet again. The Palestinians really hate the Israelis and one of the things they hate most is the wall that keeps them from going to be with the Israelis. I am not making this up.

One more thing. The Palestinians seem to realize that hating Jews is wrong, so what they often say is that they hate Zionists, not Jews. It is like they realize that hating Jews is racism and that is bad. But a Zionist is someone who thinks that Jews should have their own country, which about 99% of the Jews. So it is like the Palestinians are 99% racist. But the Palestinians don't understand this.

Ok, thanks a lot :) !

I had heard but never checked if it was true that the word 'palestinian' had the same etymology as 'philistine'... do you know anything about that?

Thanks.

Many Jews are still moving back every year. Looks to me like the ones who are happy where they are stay put but the ones that are in a place going bad often move to Israel. So when France starts getting too anti-semetic the Jews there move to Israel faster.

One other interesting point. The word "Palestinian" really derives from the Jewish/Hebrew word for "Invader". So the Palestinians are calling themselves by the Jewish word for invader and claiming the land is all theirs and the Jews are the invaders. I suspect that most of the Hebrew speaking Jews are well aware of this but hardly any Palestinians are. Perhaps one of the largest inside jokes anywhere. It was really with Arafat they went from thinking of and calling themselves Arabs to calling themselves Palestinians. Arafat was born and raised in Egypt. A large fraction of the other Palestinians were really from other places too.

You're the one who dreams of wiping out the Palestinians. That's all you post about-and the fantasy that Israel could survive it. It strains credulity to believe the things you have been discussing could be carried out without an equally horrendous backlash. vince, you live in a fantasy world. It's unhealthy.
