The land of the so-called Palestinians actually is in Jordan. The
ancestors of those who call themselves Palestinians left Israel in 1948
to help their Arab brothers slaughter the Jews.

Hmm. How about 'many'? It's pretty close to what actually happened.




Most Palestinians fled after the mass executions of anyone not a Jew by the
fledging Israelis army and its irregulars - Stern Gang etc..

This was a relatively small number. Certainly not equal to the number of Jewish
villagers killed by their Arab neighbors between ~300AD and 1948, or even in
1943 to 1948. That doesn't make it right, of course.


The number of
Jews in Palestine was minute pre 1939, only when the mass immigration after
WW2 did the numbers rise.

Excuse me? I suggest you read a factual account of the Zionist movement
originating in the mid 1800s.

There was a large Jewish population in Eretz Israel remaining after the
Diaspora. Look up any census of the region under the Ottoman Turks. And Jewish
settlers began arriving in the 1700s in steadily increasing flow, increasingly
better organized & financed. And they were always resisted, usually by force of
arms or stealthy murder. Good thing the US has never felt that way about
immigrants.....




The big problem for the Israelis is that they carved out a country using
terrorism against the Brits and Palestinians - the freedom fighting
Palestinians are only trying to win back their country from a rogue state.

What 'history book' did you read that in? It's pure Hezbollah propaganda.



Or are they just a bunch of sub humans who dont deserve national self
determination like the Jews?

Maybe the best answer would be to let the Palestinians form an independent
country, and have Israel recognize them... that way, future terrorist attacks
would be acts of war, and Israel could take better steps for defense.

Can't do that. American presidents NEED the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to
continue ad nauseum so that in election years, they can point to their
tireless efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.
