ever hear about the 261 settlements that Arabs have built in the west bank since 1967? Why do we only hear about the Israeli ones - of which there have been far less.
Why don't we ever hear about the 400.000 + Arabs who have entered the West Bank or Gaza since the Oslo Accords. They have c ome from Jordan, and Egypt. If Israel is so terrible, why did so many Arabs go there?
And who is a 'native' Palestinian anyway? A travel guide to Palestine and Syria, published in 1906 by Karl Baedecker, reported that even when the Islamic Ottoman Empire ruled the region, the Muslim population in Jerusalem was minimal.
Number of Muslims = 7,000
Number of Jews = 40,000
Did you know that when the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) was set up to help the Arab refugees after five Arab armies attacked Israel in 1948, the very word 'refugee' had to be REDEFINED to assist those Arabs?
