The real Nakba, the catastrophe, for Palestinians is not 1949 and the war their own leaders started and lost, but how badly they have been led by their "leadership", from Arafat to Abbas.
"31 Opportunities for statehood squandered in favour of genocide." They could have had a two-state solution waaay back in '37, but it was never enough to their "leadership" for whom nothing less than annihilation of Israel would be enough. Never accommodation; always annihilation.
And even now, the Palestinian people would rather have jobs than bogus UN "statehood", on which their "leadership" is squandering even more time. That's even as "6 in 10 Palestinians reject the two-state solution."
When asked what Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s top priorities should be, 83% said creating jobs. Just 4% said getting the UN to recognize a Palestinian state, and only 2% said peace talks with Israel.
And yet pro Palestinians talk as if Israel (not the Palestinians, but Israel), must "urgently" put yet another peace proposal on the table, or it'll be "too late".
