It is a combination of anti-antisemitism and guilt that created Israel. Palestine had originally part Transjordan, a colonialist created state and it was not in the western interest to disband that country. There was suppose to be a creation of both an Israeli and Palestinian State by the UN, but Palestinian efforts got put by the way side during the cold war. I hardly think that at that time when most blacks people had there own struggle, could identify in that kind of world politics or would have been able to have any influence. In the US the Jews were allies of blacks people in there struggle for full citizenship. In many cases they were the only people that would be able represent us fully in a court of law. Some time later there were issue with Jewish people exploiting our neighborhoods, but we still have a love/hate relationship. I don't know now why blacks don't support the Palestinians, but for myself I didn't like their tactics. I didn't like the situation they were in, but there was no one I ever felt had any power to get reason to prevail. I began to realize that Arafat should have not been there leader and there would never be any progress with him in charge. There also were going to have to be some generations of Israeli's that didn't remember the Nazi's. Quite a bit of their response had been more a reaction to the past than a response to reality. As an African you would have perhaps more power, but blacks in the US are loosing the credibility, especially in world affairs. Someone like Dr. Rice only has credibility, because of her political alignment.

I don’t know now why blacks don’t support the Palestinians, but for myself I didn’t like their tactics.
