People have been getting displaced since the start of time. It has happened to various Jewish populations tons of times over the last 2000 years. It has happened thousands of times to thousands of different people.
This is probable the first time the entire world has conspired to keep a displaced population in refugee camps on the border of a hostile enemy just to use them as bullet fodder for geopolitical reasons. It is sickening the way the entire world, mainly the Muslim world, has treated the Palestinians these last 75 years. There will never be any return and noone genuinely thinks there ever will. They are just being kept there as a buffer force to fight Israel. Using women and children as a buffer force is truly sickening, and the entire world should be ashamed, especially the powers that have been controlling the Palestinians the last 80 years.
They should be angry with Britain and the Zionist who convinced Balfour and others to establish Israel. They should also be angry with the League of Nations, the United Nations, and the USA for all those vetoes. And of course they should be angry at the Israelis for continuing to abuse their rights.
Better to be angry with those responsible then those who are a bi-product and not the root cause.
I don't think you quite understand. The Palestinians don't want to leave, to many these camps are the only home they know and the majority were born here.
I'll admit I don't quite grasp the Muslim or Arab mentality, but I do try very hard to put myself in their shoes. They wrongly or rightly view Israel as illegitimate, and accepting refugees and giving them nationality legitimatizes Israel, something they refuse to accept.
I do understand where you are coming from I think, and I agree in a sense that it would be better to relocate them somewhere they can contribute to society and live in peace, but they don't want this. They are fighting for their very existence, and you cannot take away a mans right to suffer for a cause they believe is righteous, less you kill them.
I do not think the world has conspired to do this, I think the toothless tiger called the United Nations is mostly responsible. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Thousands of years ago this would not have happened, those who were displaced nearby would either be forcibly assimilated, murdered, or they would run away.
Think you're wrong, I think it's likely they will return. Perhaps not in the near future but one of these days Israel will not be powerful, and the USA is losing power and influence very quickly.
Israel is playing the short game, they are seeding their future destruction with this uncompromising violent behavior.
This is simply the way the world works, power is fleeting and impossible to hold forever.
