RE: Apartheid and I

They weren't forced. Why would they be?
In fact, they were offered Israeli citizenship back 1948. Those who agreed are Israeli citizens. Those who refused, ended up in a bit of a pickle and then DEMANDED their own separate state. They never wanted to live in a Jewish state and obey jewish law, they just found themselves living in what was now the state of Israel. Also, the lines in 1967 were not drawn by the jews, but rather by the UN. No one forced the palestinians into their state. On the contrary. A lot of people in Israel would like it very much if there was no palestinian authority, and just one big Israel.

Sort:  

time blurs honesty. Your comments are what I understood. I have sympathy for the Palestinians but the evidence of whom they chose for the political leaders says enough for me. As far as I understand none of the leaders actually are prepared to recognise the state of Israel.
