Trouble is, they have no country to defend - never did - never will - hell, they weren't even formalized as a nation-wannabe until the 1964 PLO Charter... 18 years after Israeli Statehood was declared. They were a day late and a dollar short, metaphorically speaking. Many folks see them as a Johnny-come-lately Manufactured People, comprised of stumbling, fumbling Arabs of diverse tribal origins and loyalties, and, although insanely passionate, savage and treacherous - largely not worth the trouble to deal with them."...Yet you piss on the Palestinians for defending their country."
When the Arabs invaded the region in 1948, they, as well as the Palestinians, were so sure that they would be able to get rid of the Jews and the newly founded Israel, and that the Palestinians would be able to return and claim the entire region as Palestine.
Problem was, the Jews, having just dealt with the Holocaust, weren't about to be pushed around again, and to the surprise of the Arabs and Palestinians, they put up a fight , and won the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
Like you always say Kondor, welcome to your consequences![]()

No they didn't.
