Fine some of the Palestinians lived in the Palestinian mandate for 2 years, but then one can ask how long did the Jewish refugees live there? The fact is that even if some of the Palestinians were "new" the Arabs where still the overwhelming majority in that land well before the mandate of Israel. This is an undisputed fact. And even articles written by Zionist leaders will say that yes, the best land was owned by Arabs, the Arabs populated the land These articles also expressed understanding why the Arabs didn't welcome the Jewish settles with open arms...
As for their being Jewish people living on the land, yes there was. And yes they have rights. But the before the 1900's, the Jewish people made up what 1 percent? And even when the British made that particular promise there was still hardly any Jewish people there.
In fact, half of the people living in Israel are immigrants and they have more rights than the Palestinians who were born on the land? Is that fair. A Palestinian who marries an Israeli cannot even get citizenship.
As for the Mexicans, yes the came to our country, and you have people complaining. But they haven't said, we are coming into America to build a New Mexico, where we will set up our own government based on our own traditions. No, most Mexicans want to just participate in the American democracy etc. Their children learn English and assimilate. It's a completely different scenario.
They aren't hear to create a nation where the elite will be Mexican and everyone else will be second class.
