isn't it time that proper arrangements were made for those palestinians.
it is a small country----and if any jewish person can choose to live in israel-- how many can reasonably be accommodated---there is not space for all of them. common sense tells us that.

Well, if they could be peaceful, they could live in Israel. Many Arabs and Muslims live in Israel right now.
If they don't like that, Israel has agreed to give them Gaza and the West Bank, so long as Hamas and other terrorist groups don't use the land to stage attacks against Israel.
Finally, they could go to Jordan, or any other country. I mention Jordan, though, because the British Palestine mandate was divided by the UN, with 10% being set aside as a Jewish homeland, and 90% being set aside as a Muslim homeland, called Trans-Jordan at the time. The Arabs kicked most of the Jews off their 90% share and told them "Go live in Israel, we don't want you here." Many of the Muslims living in the 10% Israeli share stayed, and became citizens of Israel. Some of them chose to leave their homes though, either because they didn't want to live in the Jewish state, or because they felt the Arabs would destroy Israel as soon as it was created and didn't want to be caught in the crossfire. Sure enough, the Arabs did attack as soon as Israel was declared a state, but to the surprise of the Palestinians, Israel won. And Trans-Jordan said "we don't want to take in all you refugees." Well, it's about time they or other Arab states do just that, IMO.
