Kuwait and some other Gulf countries expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during Gulf War 2.
Lebanon imposes humilating restrictions on their freedom. They are denied asylum and the right to citizenship in many arab countries.
They have even been attacked in Iraq by militias and forced to leave their homes.
Not even Arabs want Palestinians around. The Israelis are hardly unique in their behaviour.
Sad.
That should be 'Gulf War 1'
Boojum, isn't this more the reason that we should support the Palestinians? The Palestinians have been exploited, abused and kicked around by Israelis, Egyptians, Libyans, Algerians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Saudis, Kuwaitis, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Yemen. Shouldn't we have compassion for Palestinians and facilitate them winning their own freedom?
I agree, anan. The Palestinians deserve a homeland, a real country. They deserve self-determination, and they deserve our help.
Your buddies believe there is no such thing as Palestine, and the entire region belongs to the yids.
Then they encourage kikes worldwide to immigrate into that cancer of a state
So don't anger your American allies Mojo,
they only like you because you are willing to kill Sunnis for the sake of Taghut

You know how some Americans like C.H. claim they care about the people of Iran,
while the government of Iran believes this concern is feigned?

Yes, the Palestininans deserve their own nation. However, you cannot help people who won't help themselves. The corruption, the thuggery, the constant intransigence (especially after Israel left Gaza), do not indicate politically mature people.
The world is weary of them, quite frankly.
There are other more likeable people who also deserve their own country - like the Tibetans. Until the Palestinians improve their image and start acting like ADULTS, they'll get little international sympathy.
I think it is a lazy (and yet very common) rethorical expedient to put Israelis and Palestinians as mirror images of each other. But some comparisons are apt, as long as we don't assume the parallels are exact, or try to wriggle out of moral condemnation for one side or the other by invoking spurious moral equivalences.
All this verbiage is just to say that the fact that Palestinians have been expelled from a number of Arab countries, in which they had lived for generations; the fact that they can't be citizens of any country in the ME except Jordan and (ironically) Israel; and many other facts relating to their dispossession and generally shitty living conditions; are all evidence of the moral imperative of creating a national homeland for Palestinians. A (viable) Palestinian state probably won't solve all of the ME's problems. It might not even solve the I-P conflict. But is a necessary condition for both. Regardless of how crappy their leaders, or how misguided their national movement, Palestinians, like any other people, deserve 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness', and a having a state of their own is the only realistic hope they have of achieving any of that.
My other point is, of course, that for pretty much the same reasons (if under different circumstances), there existed, and exists, a moral imperative for a national homeland for the Jews. To categorically deny one imperative and accept the other is morally dishonest.
Dolly, it looks like you and Mr. "Zank" would get along quite well!
Or, let me guess, you SUPPORT the Iranian "government" because it stands up to Israel, even though you routinely accuse the Shia blown up by your holy warriors of being Iranian agents.
Just some more of your hypocrisy to point out
