Palestinians need to give up the romantic ghost that is statehood

According to Jack O’Neill (Irish Examiner, Letters, October 6) it is Israel’s fault that Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt refuse to provide full citizenship to the Palestinians who live in those countries.

It is Israel’s fault that the Arab world turned its back on them and refuses to provide the aid that could give them a decent life.

I suppose it’s Israel’s fault too that there isn’t one single modern, progressive or non-corrupt Arab state.
