No, I believe nobody wants them because they're impossible to reason

everything.

But did they take it? Hell, no. Talk about snatching defeat from the
wings of victory. They have a real talent for it. Idiots.

By every objective standard, the Palestinians were better off under
the Israeli thumb. Unemployment, infant mortality, life expectancy,
standard of living, universal suffrage, universal education (both
sexes), electricity, sanitation, access to health care, and so on.

After the Israelis left the West Bank, it degenerated into Lord of
the Flies land.

Still:
Jew: "Why are you complaining? When you had this land, it was a
desert. Now it's a forest!"
Arab: (thinks to himself) "Yeah, but it was MY desert and now it's
YOUR forest."

You lot were better off under us. And still would be.
By the same reasoning.

Are you kidding? It was against English law for the colonists to even
manufacture SHOVELS (in order to protect British industry).
