| Palestinians are of different faiths. You are wrong to assume that they are all the same faith. When this area was called The Levant it was far more mixed than it is now - and the people lived together without all this religious aggravation. You should also look at what Palestinians call The Nakba. I believe Jews were only 6% of the population in 1948. There are more Jews in the USA now than in Israel and many of those have dual nationality. Then there is the assassination of Lord Moyne the British Minister of State for the Middle East in Cairo... and the blowing up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem with the loss of a lot of British lives. There are also a lot of UN Resolutions which Israel has ignored - much of which has to do with encroachment on the West Bank Palestinian lands. You will find that there are displaced Palestinians all over the world - but most of them probably live in nearby countries. They don't just live here in the UK! There has been a lot of killing and ill-will on both sides. |
