Palestinians were *stateless* because no country in the region wanted them. They were turned away by Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq. The ONLY country that would take them was Israel. They were offered citizenship BEFORE they had land they could call their own. In case you didn't get it the first time, I'll repeat it: Israel took them in when no one else would...and they express their gratitude in blood and death.

You will notice that Israel walled off their settlements (which I think was entirely too provocative a move, but that's another discussion). They didn't expel them. They didn't withdraw their citizenship. They didn't herd them into refugee camps, or worse. And contrary to your belief, they didn't appropriate Palestinian-owned land. They are still welcome as citizens AND land-owners, as long as they behave like citizens and not like terrorists.

If you want to continue to believe Palestinian lies, you are as much a tool of the terrorists as the Palestinian people, who continue to let people like Arafat jerk their chains. A leader who was truly interested in peace would stop urging his people to act like terrorists, but this is precisely what Arafat keeps doing. His so-called attempts to stop the violence are laughable and doomed to failure because, very simply, no one believes him when he says he wants peace. The power and authority over the Palestinian people wielded by the Palestinian Authority rests on this fact alone. They urge their people to hate, and they teach it to their children...and until that changes, the bloodshed will never end.
