But when you claim that the Palestinians started the war that led to their expulsion because they feared a war that would lead to their expulsion, there is no rational response but to call BS. It's a completely silly, ludicrous, and totally false argument.
Reconcilliation is a great idea, but it can't happen based on lies and fantasies. It can't happen simply by having the Israelis admit to everything the Palestinians believe, and do everything to make the Palestinians happy. Especially if my side is right and the only thing that will make them happy is Israel gone.

Thanks, Ken. I've given up hope, actually, that either side will stop "Otherizing" their "enemies."

There's a vocal minority of those here on DU that blame Israel for everything.

I don't approve of their tactics, but what they were offered in '48 was too small to be a real state

The '47 partition plan was more a state than what the Palestinians are asking for today....

The Arab Palestinians did not have a military so how were they able to launch attacks?
