They won't all fit in Gaza and the West Bank. If they politely agree to take money in exchange for their land, they must be also offered a place where they can acquire new property or the payment of said monies is pointless.
Oh, if one has money, one can find a place to live. Even if that one happens to be Palestinian.
The poor bastard who has no money, or who's money is confiscated by Hamas, well, those suckers are out of luck, right?

Offensive, that's mysterious. What makes something offensive?
If I stand up and take a dump right on your dinner plate as you're eating dinner, that's offensive. 99.9999% of people in the world would feel the same, only the fecalphiles would approve.
To the Israeli flag it's more like 99.9999% of people in the world couldn't care less about the flag or even know what it means.
Offensive? Naw, just because you see something you don't like doesn't make it offensive. Besides, since when have people had the right to never be offended?

Does Israel force non-jews to eat kosher food?
Is kosher food somehow dangerous to people?
That's like making it against the law to say grace before meals because some atheist doesn't believe in God.
I'm not familiar with the kosher laws in Israel, but I'd assume kosher meals are widely available. Are non-kosher meals available for those who <gulp> are offended?

If private parties want to fund it (my understanding is that 80% of its funding comes from private parties anyway) that's fine, however, Arab citizens of Israel should not be compelled to pay taxes to propagate pseudo-scientific, revisionist history and fund holiday junkets to which only members of a single religion are eligible.
I saw a commercial on TV for a vacation package to Belize. I tell ya, that should be illegal! /sarc
Really? Holiday junkets, that only allow certain people. Sounds like a boy scout outing.....Do you hate Boy Scouts, Saxi?
Oh, yeah, I see your point there about the refugee camps. Yeah, something gotta be done about that. My question is withdrawn.
IDK, man, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Israel would never agree to all those terms.
I guess the Palestinians are crap out of luck until they can obtain the means to obliterate every Jew on the planet. All they have to do is convince everyone else to hate the Jews as well.
I see the Palestinians are making good ground on this front......
