you are ignorant. there is no need to be ignorant in this time with the internet and all.
it is clear that for any Palestinian to "move on" they need to either leave their land or accept a life as worse than second class.
you are here having semantical arguments bc you are quite simply not aware of how things are. understand that when I accuse you of ignorance that I am being charitable and understanding. others, like mets, just knowingly lie about the situation. and others like Dun, the most honest of them all, just emphatically relish in the oppression.
yes Egypt sucks and deserves criticism. doesnt absolve the Israeli blockade or any to the bullshit in the West Bank.
Hmm, I've been reading things you and others post here. You made a smartass comment pretending that he said something else because you didn't have a real response to what he actually meant and just wanted to pound the same point you state over and over again.
To "move on", Palestinians may have to give up the idea that they are entitled the live on the land their great-grandfathers once occupied. For many hundreds of years Jews weren't allowed to own land and were considered second class citizens in Europe, yet somehow they managed to prosper.
Personally I don't live in the same state my father did, and he didn't live in the same state my grandfather did, and he didn't live in the same country my great-grandfather did. My great-grandfather was a refugee from wars in Germany in in the late 1800s, and possibly owned land there. But I don't spend my life insisting I should be given land in Germany and if I'm not I'll just stay in a crowded refugee camp hating those who won't give it back to me. In fact, I never inherited land or anything else from my ancestors, and I'm getting by ok. I used to play poker with a Palestinian poker pro in Atlantic City, and he seemed to be getting by ok as well.
I don't think anyone should have the right to anything just because their ancestors did. Inheritance shouldn't even exist IMO.
Successful people move on. Unsuccessful people hold grudges against those who have wronged them and cut off their noses to spite their faces.
