You have a point there. But the question is,
Must they continue Jihadi policies that triggered the homelessness and abuse to begin with?
Here is a simple maths for you.
2 people lose their home, they pick up arms and with resulting terrorism
5 people lose their home, then more terrorism
10 people lose their home, then more terrorism
50 people lose their home,
And the process goes on for 60 long years. Unfortunately no one says, let's quit the terrorism so that more people do not lose their homes.
This must be really easy for Pakistanis to understand especially if they read their own history.
FYI, If Jinnah wouldn't have agreed on the "moth eaten" Pakistan, we would be just like Palestinians running around homeless.
May be Palestinians were not lucky enough to get a cool headed leader like Jinnah. Instead they got the pseudo-communist generals like Yasir.
Palestinians never asked for this, it wasnt their "jihad" that brought them where they are today. The Intifada was response to the occupation, not the other way around.
As for terrorism, recall the King David hotel that was bombed by Irgun terrorists, which ironically helped them get Israel even sooner.
I understand your math.. .Ideally I would agree with you, bur the world isnt ideal, what you dont understand is that its not that simple...
Your math only works on paper.. When you have actual people involved, with actual grievances, then your math goes out the window.
The process goes on because Israel refuses to recognize the rights of these people. Even when there was no Intifada, the state of Israel continued to steal their land, and continued to force them in occupation.
Besides, even if the Palestinians suddenly stopped fighting, im certain all that will change is that now they will suffer in silence, as Israel will only continue its policies.
The settlements were not built in reponse to terrorists, it was built because Israel thinks it has god given right to the land even though legaly is not theirs.
The land they steal is not from terrorists, but from poor Palestinians, who have done nothing to have their land taken from them.
There is no comparison between Pakistan and Palestine. Pakistanis were never homeless. The issues that lead to the creation of Pakistan have nothing to do with the plight of the Palestinians.
Its sad that its the Palestinians who must be the ones to compramise, even after 60 years of suffering, all while Israel prospered at their expense. Its always the poor and the victimized that must compramise in the face of oppression I suppose, (I dont believe that, and if your a Muslim, then not even your faith teaches you that, not even Chrsitianity or Judaism believe that). Your asking the victims to bend over even farther just to satisfy an imperialistic, bigoted and criminal state.
I applaud the courage of Palestinians and commend Arafat for not settling for an agreement that was little more then an insult to the asspirations of the Palestinian people.
Again, if I were a Palestinian, I would say to you, thanks for the advice, but until you have been humiliated and trounced on, until half your family is made homeless or murdered, you have no right to tell me how I should be dealing with my problems.
