Hi Blake,
I don't seem to understand why this one aspect is so argued. It seems to depend on who side one takes instead of factual information. It also seems as though anyone can find info to support his or her side. I enjoyed reading the link you provided. If the Arabs did start the war and lost then it do you think it is simply a matter of "you won, I lost"...but there seems to be such a deep animosity toward Israel, and the Jews. I read that when the UN came up with dividing the land the Jews accepted and the Arabs rejected...and out of anger the Arabic army chose to start the war in 67. I read that they told the Palestinians to leave to avoid crossfire and return once the war was won, but the opposite happened instead and the Jews won taking control over the land. So if this is true...wouldn't the Arabic government be responsible for the displacement of the Palestinians and wouldn't this be the real reason they are refugees now? I also read that some Arabic leaders use the Palestinian refugees as a political tool to keep animosity toward Israel. I am new at this issue, but I have heard that this animosity existed way before Israel became a state..am I correct? I am needind research for a paper on how peace can occur between them ...do you think it is possible? I await your reply.. thank you
