"misses the point that the whole struggle in the west bank is occurring because of the unjust treastment of the Palestinians"
I could not agree more; if their fellow arabs had taken them in, as the Irsaelis took in all the Jews expelled from Arab countries after 1949. Or if their fellow Arabs had cared for them, instead of letting them rot in UN "under"sighted refugee camps, to be armed and trotted forward as cannon fodder every generation. Or if the UN (with, god forgive, US acceptance) hadn't pulled Arafat out of exile and allowed him and his 'Tunisians' to once again loot and exploit 'his' people for no peaceful purpose, at a time when no Arab leader in the middle east would touch him with a 10 foot pole. Yes, treatment of the Palestinians has been unjust, by their fellow Arabs, by the UN, and by their own making.
