#1 But as fellow Palestinians on Saturday marked the 56th anniversary of the time they call the Nakba or "catastrophe"

Nakba rolls of the tongue better than Palestine. Also Palestine is a western word. Nakbarians.

#3 The Gaza bloodshed, like a vast Israeli barrier going up in the West Bank, has all but dashed Palestinian hopes of statehood on the land Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.

Reality sets in for a change.

... The Nakba marks the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians from towns and villages during that conflict.

And just how many of them left voluntarily because they stupidly listened to their hate mongering anti-Semitic leaders who promised them that all the Jewish land and homesteads would be their's to loot immediately after they got rid of those pesky Jews? Evidently, not the least thought was ever was given to honorable negotiations over compensated resettlement, mutual right of return or (gasp!) peaceful coexistence.

"The issue of refugees...is a matter of destiny. There will be no yielding, no bargaining, no resettlement," Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, whom Israel has sidelined with U.S. backing, said in his annual television address.

Look no further than this to find the culprit(s) responsible for every single shred of Palestinian misery. Arafat's continued intransigence perfectly mirrors the surrounding Arab world's obsessive hatred and congenital assignation of blame everywhere else but exactly where it should be properly placed, which is squarely upon their own shoulders.

"I am afraid they will seize what is left of my land because Israel's policy is an expansionist one," said West Bank farmer Rashid Abu Taher, whose family lost 20 hectares (48 acres) of land in 1948 and another 30 hectares (72 acres) to the barrier.

If Israel's policy was truly an "expansionist one," all Palestinians would be dead or imprisoned and those "occupied territories" would be merely a fading memory of bad times long ago passed. The only "catastrophe" is how murderous thugs like Arafat were ever handed the reins of power. For this, the Palestinian people only have themselves to blame and no one else.

#4 Actually, Zipperhead, the Paleos had a lot of help from your Lib Dim presidents (and idols) Jimmy Carter and Bill Clintoon, who gave Arafat political cover and legitimacy for 25 years.

#6 I'm trying to figure out this "refugee return" business. Seems to me that it's very logical that Palestinians go to a . . . Palestinian state. Why should Israel take them if they've got their own damn country? Why is this such a sticking point for Arafat? Good Lord, you'd think those "refugees" are the very ones you'd need to build a new state! If Israel did allow "refugees" in, there'd be no one but a handful of thugs in Gaza, and they'd immediately blame the "Zionist Entity"(TM) for stealing all their people.

Maybe I missed something; is there more to this refugee return thing than I'm aware of?

#7 well, did you notice he had 40 relatives in his house? Being poor and oppressed doesn't seem to stop them from breeding like rats.... They hope to accomplish victory by demography via one man one vote in Israel

#8 As I commented once before, the zion is in the wrong place. It needs to relocated to Alaska or wherever ... or risk annihilation.

#9 Zion isn't going to be moved--the Jews know where their homeland is, the Paleos don't (Hint: it's in Jordan).

#10 If the zion isn't moved, then it will end. Period. Looks like gas is already running out of Israel. Look at the Newyork based thugs starting wars now to keep the zion alive.

#11 Zion will not be moved--many have tried to do so and failed before you jihadi motherf*ckers and done a better job of trying!

Give up, Muslims!
Israel belongs to God's Chosen People, the Hebrews.
Israel wil fight you Musselmen to their last person and the United States of America will be behind them!
Am Yisrael Chai!

#12 Right on! Jen. Like the saying goes, Never Again!

The fanatical international death cult of jihadists will be defeated!

If enough of these jihad boys pratice the deadly act of suicidal bombing on each other, they would do the world a huge favour :)

#13 Hey Faisal, ask the Germans, Japanese, or any number of Arab nations what happens when Americans or Isrealies get pissed off, stop screwing around, and really start to fight. (Hint: it ain't pretty! Be careful what you wish for....)

#14 Which is the only religion in the world which thinks of all the other people as being not equal??
Americans and Israelis are two different things. Don't try to portray them as one.
