I heard repeatedly that Palestinians were actually Jordanians. This from other Jordanians about 40 years ago before the current political climate. I have heard this from Iranians since then & I have heard from Lebanese that they have totally destroyed their country. Wherever the Palestinians live becomes a ghetto & rife with crime & violence. Is this why their neighboring countries don’t want them? It could be. You mention the PLO. I believe everyone recalls that lovely organ from the 70’s. Seems to support the violence theory. The only Palestinian I am aware of in the U.S. is also a loud mouthed troublemaker, who has never done anything else. Lastly, & I have heard & read both ways on this – that Palestinians are the descendants of Philistines which really does not give them Israel. Either way a two state solution does not appear to ever work. Someone must go. Who shall it be? Because neither Israel nor Lebanon can ever heal with them there.
