Israeli Arab citizens have full rights within Israel, Jews are banned from being Jordanian citizens (or S'audi). Palestinians are banned from most professions in Lebanon and 400,000 were expelled from Kuwait after the first Gulf War but the world collectively yawned. The Palestinians receive more aid than any other people in the world (more than Marshall Plan Europe) and pass on their offically UN "refugee" status to their children unlike any other people. <br /><br />"How must they be treated ?" They are treated well by Israel for instance the West Bank Palestinians have a higher income and life expectancy than Egypt. Pre-'67 there were no Universities Israel founded all of them.<br /><br />"What rights have they got ? What rights are they allowed have ?" In Israel full rights, in the occupied territories thats under negotiation. So far they rejected Statehood in '48, '77 and '2000. Interestingly, Israeli Arabs in East Jerusalem (also counted as Palestinians) don't want to give up Israeli citizenship.<br /><br />"Israel, in remembrance of its past, in remembrance of the horrors done to it must acknowledge that it has a duty of care to others if only because it bears the scars caused by mans inhumanity to man. " The old "Jews should have learnt from their treatment" line. No other country in history has ever given away land captured in a defensive war (Sinai, Lebanon etc) for a piece of paper called "peace". America isn't being asked to give Texas back to Mexico nor Russian land to Finland etc. Israel is literally sitting with child murderers to negotiate peace. But your sentence is illogical. Jews more than any other people have a right to be defensive even paranoid because of their persecution etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-20790916640946007672010-11-01T03:57:48.201+11:002010-11-01T03:57:48.201+11:00The Israeli Arabs have full rights, and if it were...The Israeli Arabs have full rights, and if it were not for the rejectionism and aggression by Arab nations from the start - if the Arabs had accepted Israel's existence instead of immediately waging war on her - there would not be a refugee problem. The refugee problem was of the Arabs' making, and the "refugees" have been used as pawns in the Arabs' struggle against Israel ever since. Israel is more sinned against than sinning. Unfortunately, what the Arabs have failed to achieve by the sword - the destruction of the Zionist presence in the region - they seek to achieve through a remorseless campaign of propaganda, which is swallowed by well-meaning people hook, line and sinker.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-52877116426743511212010-11-01T03:41:24.164+11:002010-11-01T03:41:24.164+11:00While I support and acknowledge the rights of the ...While I support and acknowledge the rights of the Israeli Nation I must ask - And what of the Palestinians themselves.

That is a lay person licensed to preach in the Methodist Church. We are not ordained Ministers - not Revved. This explains the patronising tone of some Revs who think that their training gives them superior insight. They forget that lay people are perfectly capable of obtaining theological training without being ordained and may have life experience that is also relevant. We may also have the chutzpah to disagree with them.<br /><br />Me, I'm with the hymn-writer John Newton:<br /><br />Saviour, since of Zion’s city<br />I through grace a member am,<br />Let the world deride or pity,<br />I will glory in Thy name.<br />Fading is the worldling's pleasure,<br />All his boasted pomp and show;<br />Solid joys and lasting treasure<br />None but Zion’s children know.Ian Gnoreply@blogger.com
