Kevin : The Palestinians were never at war with Israel as part of the War of Independence. Contrary to whatever revitionist websites YOU read there were ALSO Jews living in mandate Palestine, and some of these cities had an Old Yeshuv MAJORITY. Of the 900,000 Jewish refugees, nearly 600,000 were absorbed by Israel after it's creation. Close to half of Israel's Jewish citizens are these original refugees, and their descendants. No, they're not merely the descendents of the Jews that lived there 200 years ago - they're descendents of Jews that go back at least 2000 years ago.

Apportioner - Yes israel is a part of the UN, and have been the punching bag for HUNDREDS of resolutions against them. I'd find this a legit point if you could point me to one resolution condemining the actions of the other nations against Palestinian refugees..or perhaps the terrorist actions against Israel. In the meantime, Israel has been scapegoating by a UN that holds them to a double standard we haven't even applied to Rwanda, Iraq, etc.
