Palestine?

I know it's been more than a month since my last post, but this one had to take a considerable amount of research. Plus I'm lazier than a dying, half-awake sloth.

Many people who don't currently live in caves know of the small region we like to call "Palestine," which is technically Israel. Now, as many of you folks may know, "Palestine" is a little patch of Israel full of Arab squatters--I mean Palestinians--that believe they have the right to control Israel and that the Jews should be permanently expelled. They believe this so strongly they have the irritating tendency to send rockets into Jewish towns and send militants into these towns, where they murder entire families of innocent and defenseless people. Palestinians suffer from the delusion that they are treated as second-class citizens, and of course completely ignore that it is their leaders who are preventing the money from reaching the streets. The Palestinian leaders instead prefer to spend almost every penny they are given to from the UN on weapons and training from Syria, Iran, Egypt, and anywhere else jam-packed with Muslim fanatics.

What many of these people don't know is that they are not victims of Israeli oppression at all. Instead, they are in fact victims of their own neighbors' neglect. When the Arabs intended to destroy Israel shortly after it was created in the late '40s, they ordered the Israeli Muslims to leave the small Jewish Island in that sea of turbans and AK-47s. In return, they were promised the land left behind by the Israelis after they were forced out of the country. Unfortunately for the Arabs, the Israelis had more than half a brain and, with relative ease, forced Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt out of its borders. Stumbling around and wondering what the hell had just happened, the Arabs set up refugee camps the size of small cities, blaming the Israelis for their failure and claiming that the Jews had forced the Arabs out of Israel. They conveniently forgot that it was them who had gotten their people to leave so that an entire nation could be destroyed, and that it was the Arabs, not the Jews, who were the sole cause of the Palestinian expulsion from Israel.

My basic point is that the Palestinians and the Arabs in general are the main problem in that section of the Middle East. The Israelis are merely defending themselves: they didn't start the war, although they certainly are trying to end it peacefully and fairly. Think about it, folks.
