(12,283 posts)no one that i know of, including generals and politicians talk about the Palestinians giving up their identity....the jews never did. So your once again arguing with yourself.
the Palestinians became refugees in the decade of 1940 along with a zillions of others, who have all since "resettled" and have made peace with their misfortune for the most part. The Palestinians are no different have no reason to be treated differently, no did those refugees give up their identities.
the problem is a version of racism, for those that believe that the Palestinians are somehow better/different then the germans, indians, pakistanis, romanians, and should live out their lives in some pipe dream that they will be returning to the lost home.
but no thanks....Israel a new identity as a country of humane values.
we'll stick with our values as we define them, we're not too impressed with much of the rest of the worlds values.
