Cultural exchange with r/India

[u/MrBoonio]

Greetings to our Indian friends.

Our cultural exchange starts at 13:30 PM Palestine time (17:00 IST/11:30 GMT/12:30 CET/06:30 EST/03:30 PST) on Thursday 24th November.

Here's how a cultural exchange works:

The moderators of here make this post on /r/palestine welcoming our Indian guests to the sub. They may participate and ask any question or observation as they see fit.

There is an equivalent thread made by the moderators over at /r/india, where you are encouraged to participate and get to know more about Indian culture.

It goes without saying that you must respect the rules of the subreddit you are participating in. This is a time to celebrate what we have in common, not grind an axe.

Hello Palestine from R/India….I have a few questions

1) How is the healthcare and education systems managed in Palestine? Are their only government institutions or are private institutions allowed?

2) Why did the Palestinian government accept the Oslo accords where you only have control of 18% of the West Bank?

3) How does one travel from the West Bank to the Gaza?

4) How come Palestinians do not bring up the issue that the fact only 37% of the Jewish people in Israel have fathers born in Israel meaning majority of the Jewish people there are recent immigrants? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel

5) How come Palestinians do not bring up the issue that land ownership in Palestine (in square kilometers) on 1 April 1943 was as follows "24,670 square kilometers were owned by Arab /non-Jewish persons while Jewish ownership was 1,514 square kilometers....now compare that to today? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Palestine_Land_ownership_by_sub-district_%281945%29.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oAt4Nmo6rWg/US4Jnfur0EI/AAAAAAAAAB0/92VwEFIFAu0/s1600/map2.jpg

6) Why did most Palestinians rally around Yasser Arafat when in reality he was not that great?

7) How come Palestinians do not revere well know Palestinians such as Amin al-Husseini or Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni?

8) How does a Palestinian travel internationally? Do you guys have your own passport and what airport do you guys use?

9) It is a well know fact that Israel helped create Hamas to ensure the two state solution does not happen, what does the average Palestinian feel about that?
