Good point. Your mistake is that you are grouping all Arabs together. Let's see how you would feel if you were the victim given those circumstances....
What if, for example, a group of Native Americans were to form a terrorist group and begin a successful fight for their land back hundreds of years after they lost the land (which is what Irgun and the Stern gang did). What if their justification was "White people have the entire continent of Europe and also Canada, but American Indians do not have their own country."
Now let's suppose that during this "independence" war, this terrorist group came to your land and kicked you off, and in the process they killed some of your family and friends.
Would you quietly move to Europe or Canada, or would you stay to join the group who was going to fight against them and disrupt their new country by all means necessary?
Most Palestineans did indeed move to other countries. But a fair percentage of them refused to move, and they are the ones who make up the current population of Gaza and the West Bank.
When you think of yourself, do you feel that you are more "American" or more "White"? My guess is that you associate yourself more as being an American. So can you understand how those people associate themselves as being "Palestinean" more than being "Arab"?
And with that, I have now said my peace/piece (pun intended) on this subject. Back to no more political posts....
