You should tell that to the Palestinian Arabs living in Isreal, with Israeli citizenship.That sounds pretty bad... that they will not recognize Israel.... but when you look at it in the proper context... why would they ever "accept" their own termination and expulsion from their own land? Because that's what "recognizing Israel" is.
This idea that Israel is some peaceful democracy... that just wants to exist... and worship their religion free of persecution is a complete falsehood.
Israel is a nation founded on a racist ideology that excludes Palestinian Arabs from their own native land.
And what was the Palestinian capital? Flag? Form of Government?
When did Egypt or Jordan grant this mythical country to the Palestinian Arabs, 1948-1967?? Where was the movement for a Palestinian Arab nation, when the region was ruled by Arab absentee landlords?
Oddly enough, the last self determining people to live in the region were.....
Jews.
Sad to see this site lowered to an Israel conspiracy sound board.

Of course, the huge number of Palestinian Arabs living with no rights in UNWRA camps in Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria, along with the UN permanent refugee status has nothing to do with it.
This is what happens in an sectarian divided, post colonial environment. Roughly a million people were killed when the British Raj dissolved, and nations were divided over sectarian lines.
Get over it.
Don't forget that Hebrew was a dead language like Aramaic for close to 2000 years until it was revived by the Zionist movement.
My goodness, this is so untrue its almost scary.
I know.Pretty hard to "get over it" while your kids are being killed by an occupying military force.
al Baqi? From the same Arab Leage that refuses its members to grant Palestinian Arabs citizenship rights? Do tell.Because inhabitants of a certain geographic region do not particularly conform to an exact model of a modern nation state, does not mean that they are not a community with a right to self determination.... and a right to the land they've inhabited for the last 2000 years.
The discussion here is about Israel and it's occupation of land inhabited by Palestinians and attacks by Israel on Palestinian civilians.
You seem to look at the entire situation through the eyes of colonialism. Jordan or Egypt have to grant land to the people that already inhabit it?
The Palestinian flag was first flown in 1916. The movement for a Palestinian nation did not take place until 1948... as a result of the Arab-Israeli war... and in an attempt to prevent Jordan from annexing the West Bank.
The Palestinian capital was Jerusalem. The Prime minister was Ahmed Hilmi Abd al-Baqi. The form of government was a republic.
Where's the conspiracy? ......
