  1. On what precedent, or basis in international law, are the Palestinians Arabs claiming their own state? One-fifth of Israel's citizens today are Arabs from those families which accepted life under Jewish rule in 1948. They have equal rights under the law with Jewish people, and they participate in the highest levels of government and civil society. The majority of the #displaced Palestinians aligned with the attacking Arab armies, which lost. Where else in the world would people like this be REWARDED for aligning with the enemy? Are they being appeased because it keeps the Arab nations happy, hence oil prices are better? Or is it because of hate for the Jewish people?  When you look around the world at countries like Turkey, where 1.5 Muslim Turks and Greek Orthodox Christian occupants were forced to change countries in 1924, or India where up to 18 million Muslims and Hindus fled to their new countries in 1947, and where up to 800,000 Jews were exiled from their generational homes in the Arab nations and resettled either in Israel or a third country, I don't see why these Palestinian Arabs are still being considered to have the right for a country of their own. Can't we "incentivise" Jordan and Egypt to give them citizenship, then let Israel take them back on 'residence visas'? That way they get all the benefits of Israeli economics without national voting rights, but could be deported if they dare to carry out acts of terror or hostility.
