Reply #17: About Citizenship

[Eg-ptiangirl]

The problem is that you think the conflict will end if Arab countries offered Citizenships to Palestinians and may be also take the remaining cause we are brothers and we already have million countries and oil and and and while Jews were in concentration camps in Europe and only want tiny area where Solomon and Joshua lived etc

What you and many people who are not living here don't know, is that Palestinians themselves want to have their own country and feel so sad and disappointed, they feel all the people in the world including Arabs betrayed them, cause they were weak and without arms, they feel the world wanted to end the Jewish grief with no consideration for the Palestinians feelings and dignity. They don't want to spread in the surrounding Arab countries, they want to have their own country. In Lebanon, Israel came after the Palestinians in early 80s and bombed them cause Palestinians wanted to start a revolution to free their country, offering them citizenship will not make them forget they have no country it will not solve the solution, only peace will. They may appear to you as solid but they are so deeply hurt that you will realize this only when you become a very close friend, they want to have a country thats a fact. Another thing is that not only Palestinians felt betrayed, we all felt that we were used as a backyard to solve west problems and that no one cared what will be the impact of what happened in our countries and communities.

You think we are happy this situation is still going on? and that we are going from war to another war? That nuclear bombs are on our area since 60s. If you think yes then you know nothing, since 1948 there were; 48 war, 56 war, 67 war, war of attrition, 73 war ,beginning of terrorism books and thoughts,82 first Lebanon war, first Intifada, 2nd Intifada, war on Iraq, war on Lebanon, siege of Gaza, war on Gaza. and who knows Syria or Iran is the next war in this area. So if you think that we want this to continue and we are using Palestinians to guarantee the continuation of this situation you are so wrong! We just try each one in his way to help them cause it is not fair what is happening to them. It is not fair and we already feel ashamed we can't help them as we should.
