Amy Zitelman response to Asaf Romirowsky

I really enjoyed this lecture.  It was really interesting to hear factual information about the Palestinians.  Not enough people understand that they are not a united entity and that the only thing they agree on is hatred for Israel and the United States (and the Western World).

NO ONE wants or likes the Palestinians.  For sure not Israel.  But more importantly, no Arab country will ever be willing to accept Palestinians and make them citizens.  They are trouble wherever they go, hence why they were kicked out of Jordan.  What bothers me most is that the world is so biased and turning the other way to how every country treats the Palestinians.  Ever country, that is, except Israel.  Israel will always be held accountable for the problems of the Palestinians even though there are many other sources for their sufferings.

Mr. Romirowsky mentioned a three state solution.  Since solutions that are impossible are being addressed and suggested, here is my solution...

1. Fix the Media.  We have to get the biased media off of Israel's back.  Israel will be destroyed as a country because they are forced to make decisions based on how they will look to the media and the world.  This needs to change.

2. Education.  The Palestinians need to be educated about their true circumstance.  That not all their problems are due to Israel, and that most of their problems are due to other Arab countries surrounding them.

It is so confusing to me that Palestinians and the world hold Israel accountable for Palestinian rights and social services, when their Arab neighbors should be held responsible for their well being.  I think its a joke that Palestinians have to rely on Israel for oil, electricity, and many other basic things.  It's sad that their own people (i.e. Egypt and Jordan) don't help them.
