Mike, it's true. The Jews took land in Israel away from people who had been there hundreds of years. It was sort of like the native American were booted out by the Europeans. However, it's also true that the Palestinians refused to go along with the Jews' plans for a dual government. However this whole war camps situation is a shameful thing, and was the reason my sister recently went to Bethlehem to meet with peace groups there. It was interesting, as the Mennonites and Quakers were the most active groups there, seeking to help the Palestinians. my nephew was with my sister and took photos. Pictures really do speak volumes. one picture that still lies emblazoned in my brain, is of the Palestinian clinic which was bombed to bits. The only doctor for that area was shot in the back, as he was getting into an ambulance to help somebody. You understand of course, that as a despised people, the Jews had very few places they could go. Even the US put limitations on how many could come to the States. sigh...................... I'm afraid that the religious zealots on both sides have forgotten their humanity. The behavior of the Settlers makes me ashamed to be a Jew.
