7. Why should the Palestinians have to leave what they consider
their land?

Without getting into an I/P arguement here - because that's not my intention - the fact is that the Palestinians are NOT simply Arabic. They're a Greek/Arabic mix and they settled the former Palestine many, many years ago when they were known as the Phillistines - long before it was "promised" to the Jews fleeing slavery in Egypt.

IMHO, the whole fiasco of "giving" Israel "back" to the Jewish people was not well thought-out by the British (and us).
