Jews are a small minority group in the middle east which in many countries such as Syria and Lebanon as well as others were indigenous and lived there thousands of years before Arabs set foot in the region. The jewish self determination movement coined Zionism has been rejected by every Arab state. Nearly every Jew that lived in Arab countries has been forced out, ran out of fear or was killed. In Syria for example Jews that lived there since biblical times (4000 year, much longer than the Arab immigration that started 1200 years ago) awoke to frozen bank accounts and all their wealth expropriated to the Syrian state, not knowing how the just recently "pro-nazi" government was going to do they ran for their lives and came to Israel penniless destroying an ancient culture and uprooting an indigenous population. Pro-Arab people would have you believe that the conflict started in 1948 when the state was finally created and before that Jews and Arabs lived together in peace. It is true many Jews lived in harmony for many years but that is not the complete truth. As soon as Jews showed a slight inkling of self determination and not wanting to live at the mercy of the majorities whims, the arab majority rioted and killed many many Jews. In 1937 (before Jews knew they would have to absorb all the homeless european refugees from WW2 that no other country wanted, as well as the nearly 1 million arab jews who never received any compensation or refugee status [thus never receiving any refugee aid], that ran or were expelled from Arab countries leaving 4X's the state of Israel in land lost to the Arab regimes) there was a state of Israel envisioned called the "Peel Commission". It was an international commission made up of representatives from different countries who were not Jewish or Arab and a mix of west and east. It decided to form a state based roughly of what was Jewish owned land. It was a much smaller country but the Jews accepted not knowing that they would have soon needed to absorb waves of refugees from all the arab countries as well as Europe. Arab leadership claimed that Jewish purchases of land were not valid and instead of agreeing incited riots and massacred Jews. The Arab leadership has consistently refused to recognize any form of Jewish self determination under any circumstance. Jordan was originally part of the British patrician of Palestine but no one calls Jordan Occupied Palestine because even though it is ruled by a minority, Bedouin is a minority of muslim arab not Jew. It isn't about "live and let live" it is about hate and wanting the minority to be oppressed. Jews just want to live in their own country without fear, they protect Israeli Arabs the same way they protect Israeli Jews but Palestinians raise their children to hate. Ask any Palestinian if they have ever heard of the Peel Commission and they will tell you no, because they do not learn a true history, they dont learn about the Jewish refugees that fled Arab countries, they only learn about how they have suffered, but they do not blame their own leadership, they only blame the Jews. Had the Arab leadership at 1 point EVER agreed to accept Jewish independence we would have peace but they want to either drive the Jews out or create a demographic situation where Jews will lose the majority and live as a minority in an Islamic state once again. Jews lost 4X's the state of Israel in land and massive wealth and businesses when they were expelled from Arab countries, they died fighting for a better future for the next generation, they sacrificed independent wealth to grow a strong socialist country that would later be strong enough to adapt the capitalist model. They absorbed ALL the Jews from Arab countries (more refugees than were palestinian refugees) without the assistance from the UN or any other country by helping one another. Why with all the aid and billions received yearly to the Palestinian leadership are there still palestinian refugees suffering? Because they want to keep them in refugee camps to use them as political pawn to make Israel look bad! If only Israel would have kept ALL the Jews from Arab countries in refugee camps until this day, maybe the western left and the rest of the Arab world would sympathize with the Jewish plight? Well they didnt because they are MORAL and try to do what is best for the people not what will destroy their enemies. In every way Arabs say that Jews do not have the right to be in Israel or that they should restructure the country to allow for massive arab immigrants that will destroy the Jewish majority. Anyone that believes in self determination for oppressed people should support Israel and the struggle to have a safe and peaceful Jewish state and to support the Palestinians by demanding their leadership be held accountable for where they spend the billions of dollars they receive.
