I have a good reason for a Palestinian state, though. Its denizens will soon busy themselves slaughtering each other rather than trying to murder us. Especially if we build a nice tall fence on the border and shoot anyone and anything approaching it.

Notice how they don’t mention the even greater number of Jewish refugees, or even the role the Arab countries playd in the story.

If you talk to a random person in a western country, you will find that almost nobody knows that the so-called “Naqba” happened AFTER the attempted invasion. Arabs like to pretend that attacking Israel was retaliation for the Naqba.

But the good news is that if they cannot make their case without lying about us, they don’t have a case.

If the “Palestinians” really deserved a state (even though they rejected it in 1948 and 1967), there would be case for it that doesn’t require made-up history, I think.

I would give then euros to the first “Palestinian” or any of their supporters who can give me a reason for why “Palestine” should become a state, a reason that does not include any lies whatsoever, a reason that acknowledges the Jewish refugees and the fact that it was the Arab countries who invaded the nascent “Palestinian” state in 1948.

But I understand that “Yes, we tried to murder you all, now give us a state” doesn’t sound so convincing.

Germany handled the same situation far better.

(I grew up in occupied Berlin. Do you think I attacked American or Polish kindergardens to fight the occupation?)
