So there is NO way any sane person could vote for the Palestinians to have a state, because their state goals would be to remove Israel, a wee small land surrounded by those who want to finish what Hitler started. And as I remind Christian friends, the Jews were in Jerusalem centuries before Christians and even more centuries before Muslims. Why is it so hard for some religions to simply get along?

Matthew Bell interviewed various Palestinians about their view on the PA UN bid. We were told that "nothing happened" during 20 years of negotiations. Why? Because for 20 years, the Palestinians have rejected any solution that allows a permanent Israel, no matter what its boundaries. Bell went onto a "refugee camp". He asserted that residents are worried about their rights. He talked to one refugee who claimed return to a village in pre-1967 Israel. He asserted that Israel would cease to be a Jewish state if the refugees were resettled there. Then he talked to a Palestinian who wanted one state that includes Haifa etc. Incredibly, Bell did not spell out that means the destruction of Israel. So, as usual, we were treated to a propaganda plug about Palestinian refugees. There was not a hint that there were a similar number of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE THE WORLD TO MENTION JEWISH REFUGEES FROM ARAB COUNTRIES? There was not a hint that the Arab refugee issue was caused by a war started by the Arab world. There was not a hint as to this being the only conflict in the world, where the party that was attacked is told to absorb refugees from those that attacked it. Nor has The World ever attempted to compare the way Israel uplifted Jewish refugees, with the way the Arab world manipulated Arab refugees. Dear The World,
