I'll just note that Palestinian Christians have long been fleeing the Levant, and they understand Israel to be just as responsible for everything going wrong as they do radical Islam. If TFP wants to be honest about all of this, they should talk with a variety of such folk, not just cherrypick from those that tell them what they want to hear.

BTW, at that Xitter link about the Druze people, the poster asks rhetorically (and triumphantly): "Will they still call it 'ethnic cleansing' if Israel annexes a village at the explicit request of its residents?" Obviously, no, since to voluntarily place yourself under the governance of another people cannot, by definition, be ethnic cleansing. That the poster doesn't seem to understand that such doesn't apply to Palestinians is baffling to me. I suppose I'm just one of those stubborn members of the "anti-Israel" crowd. (I'm not: I just think honesty is important.) Also, one can decide to side with the lesser of two evils. People do it all the time... then rationalize their decisions after the fact based on stubbornly held beliefs about the world.

In no way can the Palestinians EVER have been said to be voluntarily ruled by Israelis. The people who founded the State of Israel colonized their land, declared a state without their concession, then drove out whoever fought back. It's a founding injustice, just the same as the founding injustices of the United States. But let's all just keep blaming those nasty progressives for not being satisfied with how all of this had been dealt with. "Western civilization" is at stake after all. (Hint: It's long been dead since the Protestant revolution and everything that followed it.)

So just let the blood flow. Eventually one side will be completely wiped out and "peace" can reign undisturbed.
