As the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the conflict. The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the israelites are irrational “terrorists” who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes — on both sides — inevitably follow from this original injustice.

Since the inception of Zionism, its leaders have been keen on creating a

"Jewish State" based on a "Jewish majority" by mass

immigration of Jews to Palestine, primarily European Jews fleeing from

anti-Semitic Tsarist Russia and Nazi Germany. When a "Jewish majority"

was impossible to achieve, based on Jewish immigration and natural growth,

Zionist leaders (such as Ben Gurion, Moshe Sharett, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, and Chaim

Weizmann) concluded that "population transfer" was the only solution

to what they referred to as the "Arab Problem." Year after year, the plan to ethnically cleanse Palestine

of its indigenous people became known as the "transfer solution"

luke stop. the palistinians and jews should live in peace.

Are you aware that Israeli Zionists, during the 1948 war, pushed over tens of

thousands of Palestinian refugees into the sea.

you need to keep one point in mind. Palestinians are an oppressed people and live under a brutal foreign occupation that treats them like sub-humans. so go palistinains

the jews refused to partake in a negatation and another war was started

6 million jews were killed by nazis so the pakastinians let the jews into their contry. so i believe they should get it
