The Palestinians

It is worth noting from time to time that the so-called “Palestinians” are refugees from a war which happened in 1948, some 64 years ago.  Where else in the world can one find people so callous as to allow their own to languish for such a long time?  I find it difficult at times not to view Muslim Arabs as culturally inferior to substantially every other population on Earth.  They glory in death. One finds this in cultural alleys in other nations–the Thuggee cult, for example, in India–but not as the main theme.  I have spent some years studying varying religions, and I can think of no analogue to Islam as practiced in the Middle East.

Large numbers of Jews were cast out of Arab nations in 1948 as well.  We do not read about them because they were assimilated in Israel, the United States, or other nations, without undue fuss, and even though they, too, lost everything they had built and owned.  Unlike the Arabs living in the British Mandate, however, they were not given the option of staying.
