So how do you think Middle Easterners feel when Israel--armed with nukes and other goodies--is in the middle of the Middle East? Imagine how crazy Americans would have gone if Cuba occupied Florida and other neighboring countries. Well then, you can understand how Israel occupying all its neighbors makes us feel.
(4) The Palestinians who were expelled still remember their homes, as that generation is still alive.
(5) As for the next generation of Palestinians, the only homes they have known have been refugee camps surrounded on all sides by Israeli fences and soldiers. I wonder why they care so much to go back to the "home they've never seen", when they have it so nice and cushy in those great refugee camps!
