Wait wait. Come on these were just fraternity guys letting off a little steam.
It was only too impress the burqua beauties.

Palestinians have a state - Jordan- that wants no more of the troublemakers and parasites from the refugee camps. Lebanon also considers them a cancer.

The Palestinian degradation has occurred over a few decades by a combination of being heartlessly used by neighboring Arab states to gain world sympathy for their shared anti-Zionist fixation, begetting in turn perpetual infantilization by the United Nations. Both groups talk only of "rights" but no "responsibilities" for Palestinians who are now incapable (if they ever were) of civilized adult behavior in large enough numbers to make a difference.

Israel and its surrounding territory are the "twice promised land" with two peoples having legitimate historic claims. One is willing to share and has made its fraction of the desert bloom. The other appears shiftless, with no desire to work, and struts about in a slum it refuses to improve while plotting how to destroy its industrious unaccepted neighbor. If they succeeded, we've already seen what would happen in microcosm in Gaza. All traces of civilization would be vandalized to rubble and the feral barbarians would turn on each other while clamoring that "the western world owes them".

When Jews succeed in making themselves inaccessible to suicide bombing, ordinary Palestinians while away the time by throwing each other off buildings, vandalizing anything that could possibly support economic activity such as the thriving Gazan greenhouses gifted to them by Western donors, shooting thousands of rounds of ammunition into the air for no good reason, drowning in excrement for want of any commonsense or initiative or dressing their toddlers as jihadis. What passes for university education there seems pointless as it appears to give students an advanced degree only in the above activities. It's "Lord of the Flies" writ large, turbo-charged by a destructive belief system, Islam, that teaches entitlement without work and hatred.

Meanwhile their leaders guilt gullible leftist Westerners into subsidizing this degrading and degraded behavior.

Behold the toxic handiwork of Islam and the Western nanny state coming to a corner near you soon!

They have a state....it's called anarchy. All that's needed is to add Palestine to the list of definitions in the dictionary.

How fortuitous that Tony Blair is in the neighborhood. The peace maker will certainly be able to get all the Arab students to play nice with each other.

Oh, never mind. I forgot his only talent in peace making is to pressure Israel.

It's easier to sink than rise, which requires effort. Most of the Islamic world takes pride in primitivism as it is unwilling to work, and stayng inside the Koranic box confers a smug sense of superiority without requiring any actual achievement of one's own. It's sufficient to destroy others and their work to cover oneself with Allah's glory.

Perhaps the Islamic world was advanced at one point in history centuries ago, relative to other belief systems of the time (although it's arguable that most of their so-called achievements were through conquering and enslaving advanced peoples). In the modern world, however, Islam is an anchor holding anywhere it dominates back. The only rich Islamic countries merely won the oil lottery and their tribal system precludes any equitable distribution of their gifted not earned wealth.

The crux of Islam teaching is a narcissistic arrogance evidenced by Mohammed who patched together a plagiarized religion in his image. This engrained narcissism is very pained to be an obvious laggard compared to Western civilization and outside the corridors of power. Nowhere is the blow to their overweening self esteem as "in their face" as where Israel as an outpost of Westen civilization meets its benighted neighbors.

The preferred Arabic/Muslim solution is not to build up their own territory, but to drag down the country that holds up a mirror inadvertently to their severe inadequacies.

The Western Left partners with the Islamists in their delusions of superiority as they have their own delusion, that their "religion", collectivism/socialism/communism to which a hundred million have already been martyred, is superior to what the West has wrought with capitalist liberal democracy.

1 Kings:

Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
17
And the one woman said: 'Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
18
And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
19
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlay it.
20
And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked well at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear.'
22
And the other woman said: 'Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son.' And this said: 'No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son.' Thus they spoke before the king.
23
Then said the king: `The one saith: This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead; and the other saith: Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.'
24
And the king said: 'Fetch me a sword.' And they brought a sword before the king.
25
And the king said: 'Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.'
26
Then spoke the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned upon her son, and she said: 'Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it.' But the other said: 'It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it.'
27
Then the king answered and said: 'Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.'
28
And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of G-d was in him, to do justice.

I am aware of the case that Palestinians encroached on what had been Jewish homelands for millenia. It is part of the Muslim encroachment onto lands that ipso facto had to belong to other religious groups that had existed for centuries when the new kid on the block Mohammed came along in the seventh century and bullied his way into land mostly by stealing it from others. In fact, knowing how he got his land led him to write a clause into his "religion" that few people know about, namely, that any land that has ever been conquered and "consecrated to Allah" even for a day centuries ago BELONGS TO HIM PERMANENTLY. Islam is a one-way street. They can take your land by force but if you take it back by force, it still belongs to them in their minds and according to sharia law. This explains Bin Laden's plan to "take back" Andalus/Spain.

Thank you for the additional reference but in my debating experience, the Arabs/Muslims/ Palestinians through their willing handmaidens the United Nations and Western media have made their weaker case stick so well that it is impossible to reverse. Other tales that have become so entrenched include the First Nations fiction that all of North America belonged to them, even wide tracts that at most had been crossed once by a nomadic tribe before white settlers came.

Once a meme is so set and so widely, one wastes valuable time trying to dislodge it and often also credibility. Therefore, I concede the "twice promised" because I think it a sufficient platform to make a case for fairness for Israel, which after all, is not denying Palestinians a homeland if they can abide by the condition of not warring on Israel constantly.

Then, when the person you're trying to convince has allowed you to expound (because everyone pays at least lip service to "fairness" and "both sides of the story") and there appears to be some receptiveness, one can add, "And actually, if you delve into the history of the region, you'll find you can make a stronger case for Jews than Palestinians in that territory".

One fact that has been helpful forcing some rethinking is that most of the land that Palestinians describe as "stolen" from them was bought by Jews returning to the homeland starting in the late 19th century. People are always surprised by that but have no trouble believing it after they give it a little thought because "that is the Jewish way, after all, to buy things" as their history of shrewd investing reveals. They don't need to steal. They have money.

I'm a purist myself but have had to retrain myself as a partial victory is better than getting no hearing at all.
