How many Muslims really care about the Palestinians, though?The same could be said of the late 19th century Jews. West European started giving them civil rights, citizenship, etc., starting with the French Revolution in the early 19th century. The most likely case would be the diaspora Palestinians lobbying for a return to their "homeland", but that has to entail the people being sympathetic to them. The question is how well those in the diaspora are integrated into their societies. Zionism can be directly traced to the Dreyfus Affair. Recurring antisemitic incidents convinced Herzl that full integration of Jews into European society was an illusion, despite nearly a century of progress. There's no reason to assume there will be a similar appeal to Muslims for providing Palestinians their own homeland. It's a reality that Israel must consider with its current policies. |
