    Wake up time

    Are the Palestinians ever going to wake up and realize they have been used by Hamas, and every other group and country in the middle east. I am so sick of hearing about their suffering. Of them living in refugee camps. Still living in a dream world that they are going to return to the homes. It is not going to happen. Jews were thrown out of England, Spain, Portugal, and France just to name a few. If they stayed they were forced to convert or be murdered. They picked themsleves and made new homes and communties. Of course, moving to more Northern Europe did cause many problems. Do the readers know that the Jewish population in 2,00 years remained the same. Yes, Israel fights back. If the Middle east companies had excepted Israeli statehood in 1967, I am sure Israel would have gone back to their borders. Of course, with the right to be in Jerusalem, which had been denied since the War of Independence.
