That is the right of people living in that land to determine what type of government they have and what kind of nation they have. Instead, the British, against the wishes of the native population allowed foreigners to immigrate to that land. Later on the UN let it happen. It doesn't mean such a thing was right or just. So yes, I think the Arabs of Israel (does it sound better to call them Arabs) have a right to be very ticked off over what happened.

So, if Israel can hold on for another 950 years, everything will be ok. Arabs were there 1,000 years you say and before that the Jews, who didn't all leave.
Who doesn't sympathize with the Palestians. Their plight after Israel was made a state for the Jews was terrible and still is not good. But I sympathize more with the Palestinian woman and children. The men made them suffer for an impossibility. They should have known that it was impossible for them even with all the Arabs by their side to defeat Israel, but they were blind and attacked. The UN and the west would never allow Israel to be defeated by the Arabs. That's a hard fact, but it is true. Thus, I would say to Palestinian men, make your peace with Israel for your children's sake. Don't make them go on suffering for an impossibility.
