Mr Ainsworth '"Lord Balfour himself stated in 1919 that the "wishes of the present inhabitants of the country" were not to be consulted and were less important than the Zionist goals." (AI) It remains so now in 2025'. In that case don't you think that in all that time the Palestinian Arabs have played a pretty poor hand ? They had a greater population; greater land mass; were surrounded by fellow Arab and Islamic states, some with enormous influence because of their oil wealth. Yet still they were for some reason outwitted, or let's put it in your terms, screed by the Israelis perched in the middle of them. Why could they not do better for themselves ? One reason is that many of their Arab neighbours do not trust them or at least do not trust Hamas not to stir up trouble for them within their own populace. Now of course no one else trusts them because they have been taken over by Hamas, a barbaric terrorist group. Get rid of Hamas and they will get a much brighter future both from the Arab states and the West.
