Additions:-
a) What happened to the Jews living in Arab countries pre-1948 ? Expelled summarily and never acknowledged. Possibly in more nos. than the non-Jew Palestinians.
b) Jordan annexed West Bank and ruled over it unauthorised from 1948-1967. Egypt over Gaza from 1948-1967. Colonialism ?
FINALLY - What does it take to get on with life ?
Indians did, Pakistanis do not
Israelis did, Palestinians did not.

Now looking for a history of the peace efforts !
One thing is for sure - it doesnt matter what is your political stance, and how much blame you apportion to Israel / Arab states / or Palestinians themselves -
Palestinians have suffered like hell !!

Yes. Though on further reading, he did mention these facts in passing. Why ?
Just making sure I understood your comment clearly. Thank you!
