As I understand it, Palestinians have slots in the Knesset. Did Hitler give any slots in the Nazi government to jews? I once heard a complaint from a Palestinian that they were forced to put a different sort of licence plate on their cars than jews. Um...they have cars? Also I have seen video of the Palestinian refugee camps (made by Palestinians). No tents, but houses, streets, cars, schools, hospitals, etc. We have a different name for such places. We call them "towns".
Israel is hardly blameless for the problems there but the foul language and violent, aggressive tone of the Palestinian types here makes a few things very clear.
That's the whole thing; for fity years the Arabic states have used the Palestinians as cannon fodder for the war they themselves wouldn't carry out. Worked so well that antisemites in general have picked up the technique; "Those damn Jews are keeping you down, go blow some up; Me? I'll stay here and urge you on". (Before we hear about how they aren't antisemties, look at the posts here and note how "Jews" is the object, not "Israelis" or "Zionists" or "rightwing assholes".) Not really doing the Palestinians any favors.
At least Rachel Corrie had the courage of her convictions.
