What displaced palestinians, what are you people are talking about, there was no Palestine state there bever was a state called palestine, Palestine was an area which included parts of Jordan and Egypt, no one asked them to leave Israel, there are many many arabs living happily in Israel, The so called Palestinians had a chance of creating a state in 1948 they chose to leave Israel and murder women and children because they were displaced, they brought it on themselves. Arafat had another chance instead he chose another intafada, good thing that bastard is dead I hope he is burning in hell for etenty because I was told they are out of young virgins in islm heaven now they just have hairy old fat arab women.

The First Arab-Israeli War (1947-1949), the Israeli War of Independence, was caused by the Arabs with the consent of Palestinian leaders. The purpose was to "drive away the Jews into the sea." The war was preceded by a worldwide Arab propaganda campaign focused primarily at the U.N.. Arab representatives openly declared that if the UN sanctioned the partition of Palestine and allowed Jews to have their own state, they (the Arabs) would reject such a partition and wage war on the Jews. On 29 November 1947 the UN- sanctioned partition of Palestine was announced. David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, declared the birth of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, whereupon the armies of five Arab countries, with the aid of "Palestinian" volunteers, violated the UN resolution, invaded Israeli territory, and attempted to destroy the newly created state.

The war was caused by Arab countries who, therefore, are responsible for those Palestinian refugees forced to flee their homes in Israeli territory.

Obviously, it is impossible to speculate what would have happened if the Arabs had not instigated the war, with respect to both the refugee problem and the attendant territorial, political, and military questions that persist to the present day. The problems of the Palestinian people took place not because of Israel but rather because of Arab policy.

American Patriot,
Rarely do people understand the history of this conflict anymore.(or care about the beginning of the conflict)
I find more & more "youth" are getting a very different or should I say a revised history lesson being taught to them.

Thank you for your post.

It was never intended for ANYONE to be displaced in Palestine.

"The Balfour Declaration (it its entirety):

Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917

Dear Lord Rothschild,

His Majesty's Government (Great Britain) view with favour the establishment in PALESTINE of a national HOME for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that NOTHING shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of EXISTING NON-JEWISH communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour"

Yes, that is true, the youth of the non arab world don't care about what happened and what is happening. The arab youth do care what is going on but they are brainwashed by lies and corruption and hate. We gave gaza back to the "palestinians", and it has become a cesspool, unlike the west bank (which shouldn't belong to the "palestinians" in the first place) you can clearly see that when Israel is helping them out, the west bank is 10x better than gaza. It just shows you that the "palestinians" are incapable of their own country. Practically the whole arab world has forgotten about the "palestinians".
