If I have been listening to the news during the past few months, or even years actually, it seems that the Palestinians are killing themselves more than the Israelis. The nation of Israel is here to stay. It is a sad fact that other nations, not to say the ones that are Muslim, refuse to accept this fact. If countries such as Syria and Iran were to take a little bit of a more open idea towards the country, the world itself would be a better place. Unfortunately, the minority of small minded individuals who seem to think that only their religion can be correct and everyone who doesn't believe the same must die, continue to create problems for the whole world. Maybe, just maybe, if the Palestinians would police themselves up and get rid of the idiots that refuse to accept other people, the American leaders would be more willing to provide them with the supplies that they really need, like food, water, and medicine. Unfortunately, we cannot provide these resources in good standing because there is the fear that the wrong people will get their hands on them and sell them to the highest bidder so that they can purchase weapons to shoot missiles into Israel and create bombs so stupid people can blow themselves up.

American Jews control all forms of media in this country. Thus on the evening news you see Palestinian crimes and not Israeli. The pro-Israel lobby is the most powerful political lobby in the United States. This lobby has bought all politicians from both parties.

Selling them bombs and protecting them with bombs are two different things. The former has to do with the real God George W and his cabinet worship...the almighty dollar.

You seem to be confused about the facts.
There is no such thing as Palestinians' country. Israel did not occupy such a nonexistent place. And the U.S. does not "protect" them.
So before the creation of the State of Israel, who were the Palestinians?
Until 1950, the name of the Jerusalem Post was THE PALESTINE POST; the journal of the Zionist Organization of America was NEW PALESTINE; Bank Leumi was the ANGLO-PALESTINE BANK; the Israel Electric Company was the PALESTINE ELECTRIC COMPANY; there was the PALESTINE FOUNDATION FUND and the PALESTINE PHILHARMONIC. All these were Jewish organizations. In America, Zionist youngsters sang "PALESTINE, MY PALESTINE", "PALESTINE SCOUT SONG" and "PALESTINE SPRING SONG." In general, the terms Palestine and Palestinian referred to the region of Palestine as it was. Thus, "Palestinian Jew" and "Palestinian Arab" are straightforward expressions. "Palestine Post" and "Palestine Philharmonic" refer to these bodies as they existed in a place then known as Palestine. The adoption of a Palestinian identity by the Arabs of Palestine is a recent phenomenon. Until the establishment of the State of Israel, and for another decade or so, the term Palestinian applied almost exclusively to the Jews.
What was the identity of the Arabs of Palestine at the end of the Ottoman Empire?
On August 11, 1919 in a memorandum to Lord Curzon, Lord Balfour stated that "whatever be the future of Palestine, it is not now an 'independent nation,' nor is it yet on the way to becoming one". Professor of history Reverend James Parkes wrote in Whose Land that "before 1914, ... the mass of the population [in Palestine] had no real feeling of belonging to any wider unit than their village, clan or possibly confederation of clans". He stressed the point that "up to that time it is not possible to speak of the existence of any general sentiment of nationality".
A Palestinian Arab, Professor of history Rashid Khalidi recently confirmed Balfour's and Parkes' statements that the population of Palestine at the beginning of this century did not represent a distinct nation. In his book Palestinian Identity, he wrote that only at the beginning of the twentieth century did the Arabs of Palestine start to see "themselves as part of other communities, both larger and smaller ones. This identification certainly did not include all sectors or classes of the population. But it did constitute a new and powerful category of identity that was simply nonexistent a generation or two before, and was still novel and limited in its diffusion before World War I".
...the non-Jewish residents of Palestine tried to don several different identities. First, they attempted to become Ottomans. This attempt failed after the defeat of the Ottoman army and subsequent withdrawal of Ottoman authority from Palestine. As Khalidi wrote, "in a period of a few years, Ottomanism as an ideology went from being one of the primary sources of identification for Palestinians, to having no apparent impact at all". Then came the turn of the Syrian identity that did not last long either. When the French crushed the two-year-old independent Syrian state in 1920, the elite of the Palestinian Arabs decided to change orientation again. Khalidi quotes the nationalist leader Musa Kazim Pasa al-Husayni, who said, "Now, after the recent events in Damascus, we have to effect a complete change in our plans here. Southern Syria no longer exists. We must defend Palestine".
It is important to note that the nationalist movement among the non-Jewish residents of Palestine did not originate on its soil, but was imported from Egypt, Turkey and France. Parkes wrote that it was "exclusively political in the narrowest sense, and showed little awareness of the day-to-day problems which would arise if its political objective were reached". Illiterate fellahen became the pawns in the game of power-thirsty Arab nationalists who tried to repeat King Abdulla's success in Jordan at a smaller scale in the remaining part of Palestine.
