It looks like Arafat was murdered by the Israelis after all. No surprise there.

Those bastards!!!

Based on the vision of Irving and the late Helen Schneider, major contributors to the medical center, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel epitomizes the underlying philosophy envisioned by its founders. Open to every child in Israel and the Middle East irrespective of religion, race or nationality, Schneider Children's serves as a bridge to peace in the region.

Some 30% of Schneider Children's patients come from the Arab sectors of Israel or from neighboring countries in the Middle East. Even in times of terror such as has befallen the country since September 2000, Schneider Children’s welcomes Palestinian Arab children in need in the realization of peace, co-existence and mutual respect.

The history of Palestine has been dealt with a couple of times on this thread.

It seems that your knowledge about how nations and states are built is a bit ... well, rudimentary.

The objective of the intervention, as spelled out by Brezinski, was to trap the Soviets in a long and costly war designed to drain their resources, just as Vietnam had bled the United States. The high level of civilian casualties that this would certainly entail was considered but set aside. According to one senior official, "The question here was whether it was morally acceptable that, in order to keep the Soviets off balance, which was the reason for the operation, it was permissible to use other lives for our geopolitical interests." Carter's CIA director Stansfield Turner answered the question: "I decided I could live with that."

According to Representative Charles Wilson, a Texas Democrat,
There were 58,000 dead in Vietnam and we owe the Russians one.... I have a slight obsession with it, because of Vietnam. I thought the Soviets ought to get a dose of it.... I've been of the opinion that this money was better spent to hurt our adversaries than other money in the Defense Department budget.

you might as well admit that Palestine is nothing but propaganda aimed at the Jews, and never existed.

Please, cj, you're making yourself look like an idiot.

I had no involvement.

Your knowledge of many things is less than rudimentary

Did you know that? Did you know that for 19 years, Jordan occupied and ruled the whole West Bank, including Jerusalem? Why didn't they clamor for a Palestinian state then?

All this time, did we hear a word about Palestine being occupied by the kingdom of Jordan? Did we hear anything about a Palestinian state? Or about Jerusalem being the capital of Palestine?

No, we did not.

Why not?

First of all Zionism is simply the creation of a Jewish nation.

On September 22, 1948, the All-Palestine Government was established in Gaza captured by Egypt. On September 30, the First Palestine Congress, which saw Palestine as part of Syria, denounced the Gaza "government."The December 1948 Jericho Conference, a meeting of prominent Palestinian leaders and King Abdullah, voted in favor of annexation into what was then Transjordan. ... ... ...
