As usual, your analysis is right on the mark and exposes the hypocrisy related to the unique, international carte blanche support services that the Palestinians have been receiving under the "most favoured" refugee status during the last 75 years. Notwithstanding cultural and religious constraints, it's about time that reality sets in and that they assume some responsibility for their own fate, no different than the other countless millions of refugees world wide that have suffered similar hardships over the same timeframe.

Palestinian Jew-hatred runs deep and across all generations of Palestinians. Moreover, since they have never known what it's like to govern themselves in a democracy, the only possible form of government they are capable of is a dictatorship. They never wanted statehood. They refused it several times, even when the terms were in their favor. That's because their purpose in the so-called disputed territories was purely to be a violent thorn in Israel's side. They were never fighting for their freedom; merely to destroy Israel. The world must be made to understand this and the Muslim countries which gave - and continue to give Palestinians their marching orders must be made to reabsorb them into their own countries. Israel should continue pummeling Gaza and squeezing out violent Palestinians from Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria; forbidding their civil disobedience and deporting them when necessary. Where they go is not Israel's problem. BTW: civil disobedience from other groups, including Jews, should continue to be against the law as well. It's one thing to argue with the government but quite another to shout, destroy property, assault people, etc. to "make a point". Israel must not take its cue from the disintegrating Western democracies which tolerate violent demonstrations and are allowing enemies to conquer them from within. Israel must carve out her own form of democracy, which includes the deportation of anyone who threatens its survival and superb way of life. So, goodbye Palestinians - or whatever you want to call yourselves. See how living in Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen or wherever works for you.
