DarkGamer, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago) Refugees should have been taken in by allies I agree, they really should have been. most of the land purchased was not from Palestinians, the area was under British mandate. Does that make the purchases any less legal? One need not be Palestinian to own land there. From the beginning Palestinians resisted Jewish immigration, they did not consent to any of this, and all of their fears have proven true with time. Is Jewish immigration really the cause of all this, or is it the intolerance and inability of some to peacefully coexist? The 20% of Israeli Arab/Palestinians descended from those who stayed and remained peaceful in 1948 are doing relatively well and have full citizenship rights there. These fears were only realized for those who refused to put down the sword and remained hostile. Violent intolerance was a self-fulfilling prophecy for them, I find it ironic that they themselves are now the refugees that their neighbors will not take in.
