Obviously there is no simple answer or difficult answer or someone would have come up with it.

I will say that I heard on the radio yesterday someone making a good point about the alleged state of “Palestine.” The point is that there is no such state and there never was. If there was, what were its borders? What kind of government was there? What kind of currency was there? Why was Palestine never recognized by the arab countries?

The Palestinians are refugees who were kicked out of Jordan, Syria, etc, and these countries will not take these people back. This seems to be a problem that the other arab states have to share in the blame for and should attempt to assist to solve the problem.

This debate can go on indefinitely, but unfortunately, I will be away from the computer the rest of the day. Fire away BP.
