I'm sad for him but the same story could be told by millions of people all over the world in the last century. We no longer hear about the millions of other #displaced peoples because they've been resettled, given citizenship, and they accepted life in their new country. The Arabs #displaced from Palestine are being used as weapons against the Jews.

There was the Great War which the Allied Powers won in 1918, remember? The Jewish people supported the British, French, etc. Wars have consequences. You don't get to choose who gets what if you start a war and then LOSE.

@gilbertowuor6071 : Of course not. The Germans started WWI and the Ottomans foolishly joined them. Then the surrounding Arab nations started a few more wars against Israel that they lost. Most of the Arabs living in Palestine quite naturally sided with the Arab countries. Those Arabs who were displaced should have been resettled in the surrounding countries.

 @flyingluftwaffe9617 : Sorry. I should have said that Germany and the Ottoman Empire joined the side of the parties that started WWI. Is that better?

@alls8990 And yet one fifth (21%) of Israeli citizens TODAY are Arabs! They are descendants of Arab families who chose to accept life under Jewish rule in 1948. They have equal rights with Jews and other minorities. They participate in all levels of society including sitting in the Knesset and on the Supreme Court. Those who fled can't cry #victim forever.

@alls8990 : Who's crying? Israel is thriving and there is no apartheid. All Israeli citizens have equal rights under the law. Please don't support the so-called 'Palestinians' in a cause that's going nowhere with their corrupt leaders.They should know that they're being used as #pawns against the Jewish people, and that it's all changing now with the Arab and African nations normalising ties with Israel.
