I read through their history and have never seen a "people" with so short a history, go through so much suffering caused by themselves and they blame everyone in the world for it.
I would be lying if I said I did not look down on them... they have been undignified, shameful and counterproductive.
Israel has tried again and again to help them.. HELP THEM!! so much so that Barak tried to give them a homeland, almost unconditionally.. the only condition being that they stop attacking civilians. Arafat started the Intifadah in response.
There was a boy and his father who was shot to death in a firefight.. the IDF was blamed and the Israelis said nothing and shouldered the blame. The real cause of their death was this: THEY WERE KILLED BY FELLOW PALESTINIANS! they were hiding behind a concrete wall with the IDF the other side of it. On the same side of the wall were Palestinian gunmen who started the firefight. There were cameras of the world's journalist at the scene so to increase sympathy for their "cause", the gunmen SHOT the boy and his father, then blamed the IDF for it! The "journalists" ate it all up.
Is it that difficult to accept a homeland for peace? It's what they wanted?
They did all this to themselves. Look at how reluctantly Arafat appointed a PM.
Theirs is a people so corrupt, so pointless, so brutal, so hated by fellow Arabs, it is hard to pity them... especially when they insist on playing victim instead of WORKING for what they say they want.
It is nothing religious.. just religion used as an excuse and a tool for the idiots to ignore their sin of murder.
It is not about a homeland... there were no such things as Palestinians until the present incarnation of Israel.
It's about the destruction of Israel... something admitted by the PLO's high ranking officer in a candid interview so many years ago.
What is Israel to do? Who knows? They tried to assimilate the Palestinians into Israel as citizens, they tried to give them their own homeland, they tried to surpress them.. they tried everything... and still the Palestinians are there, killing civilians with their explosive vests.
If you were Sharon, what would you do? He's done well pointing out the source of their problems, Arafat.
What else can anyone do apart from destroying Israel itself for the Palestinians?

Anyway one thing is for certain from your mailÂ… u look down on themÂ… U r trying to say they r stupid, follow religion too closely, cruel and jealous of other religion isnÂ’t it ? Maybe tat can be food for thought for why they did all those thingsÂ…
