Why don't the Palestinians have strong feelings of hate towards the other Arab countries since the other countries denied them citizenship and basically rejected them from their lands?
Also are there are people who support the Palestinians as a people,but are against Hamas,Hezbollah,and terror groups?

By saying "rejected them from their lands" I meant when the arab nations refused the Palestinians after Israel became a nation....

do u think the palestinian want to get citizinship in a place other than palestine ...go check it out ..
but its wat israel wants .... for example here in lebanon everytime something occures they come asking lebanon to accept palistinians
inour lands & make them lebanese citizens ..but thats we refuse & so does the palestinians ..
yes there was lots who support the palestinians & were against hamas , hizbullah , & others ..but after the last attack of the terrorist israel @ lebanon there is a mass beleive that israel nothing can stop it ..so there is so many believers in hizbullah role today especially in defending lebanon

Hate is a tool most often used by dictators and religious leaders (who are often dictators of a sort) to focus a people away from the leaders misdeeds and onto an easy scapegoat. Crisis best serves dictatorships which can justify oppression as long as the crisis lasts.
Like the Kurds, nobody really wanted to help the Palestinians and blaming Israel for their plight was a great way for the Arab countries to 1) keep the Palestinians out of their hair (in theory); 2) possibly advance their hate-driven ideals which also help keep their own people from realizing that Arabs have done more evil to Arabs than the Jews/Israelis will ever do even if the war goes on for years.
The Palestinians had a home if they just were willing to share the promised land (it's promised to everyone if you read the right book, isn't it)- and that's all it would take to get peace again.
Other key myth: Palestinians are all Muslim. Similar to Muslims are all terrorists. Neither is true and both stand in the way of the understanding needed to achieve a lasting peace.

First the other Arabs had no obligation to give them citizenship when Israel took their lands. There probably is some resentment though because many Arab countries were not seen to have done enough to support the Palestinians.
It is not a contradiction to support the Palestinian people and their right to a viable independent state on land taken from them by Israel and at the same time condemn terrorism and all terrorists. My question to you is whteher you think Israel practices state terror in the way it mistreats the Palestinians?

Do you have any sort of proof of this? This is the first I have heard of Palestinians being denied citizenship, etc. by other nearby nations.
In fact, the 7 Day War was started because other Arab nations wanted to give the Palestinians back their land.
Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, etc. have all campaigned to get Palestinian political prisoners freed from Israeli prisons.
I for one support the freedom of Palestine, but do not support any terrorist activities at all. I believe there is never a valid reason to take an innocent civilian's life. (BTW, I am a 100% European decended American)

aaron's version of events is error filled and he knows it. The Palestinians were on the land they now call Israel for several thousand years and that is a fact most respected historians agree on. The reference by Aaron to these people as "Pali's" is also derogatory and very sad. I'm sure Aaron should no better given all the anti semitism the world has witnessed over the centuries. Aaron, Prejudice is prejudice. You should be ashamed.

You ponder deep thoughts! The Jordanians initially refused citizenship to the Palis because they were a nomadic people, who had no land, but wanted land to be given them, rather than working for, and building up their own. King Hussian perceived that this gypsy-like people would wreak havoc in his kingdom, and summarily pushed them west of the Jordan river, and south of the Dead sea.
Rather than accept this humiliation, the Palis then migrated north, expecting a home and acceptance in Lebannon. Again, for the same reason, basically, they were driven from there as well. But in 1948, when Israel was given the land she now has, the Palistinians saw that each, the Jordanians, Lebanese and they had a common enemy. And remember, that the enemies of my enemy are (now)my friends. Shalom

The other Arabs don't murder their loved ones on a daily basis. Israel is far easier to hate given what's gone on in recent years (not that I condone the Palestinians brain-dead mentality either).

The old saying goes "I fight with my brother until my cousin comes. Then we both gang up on him".
As long as Israel (the cousin) is around, then the Palestinian and other Arab (brothers) will not fight each other.
