The Palestinians were given a home, land, a nation back in the 1940s.  That country is Jordan but Jordan does not want them.
I agree that the little three letter word is "oil".  Too bad Israel is not sitting on top of a deep pool of it.
 

Pro-Israel activist: Bush 'occupation' rhetoric rejects scripture, legal precedent

Prominent Christian Zionist Dr. Jim Hutchens believes the reason President Bush is now using the word "occupation" to describe Israeli military control of the West Bank can be summed up in one word: oil.
 
 

Bush is predicting a Middle East peace agreement will be achieved before he leaves office, but says it will require "painful political concessions" by both the Israelis and the Palestinians. "There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish a Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people," says Bush.
 
Dr. Jim Hutchens, the Washington area director of Christians United for Israel, says Bush's use of the term "occupation" resonates with Palestinian jihadists and the Arab world. "I think there is a little three-letter word that accounts for a lot of this desire to accommodate the Arab world and that is oil," he quips.
 
Hutchens, the president of The Jerusalem Connection International contends the Bush Administration has not taken the necessary steps to lessen America's dependence on Arab oil. In addition, he says Bush's use of the term "occupation" is unfortunate because in actuality, it is the Palestinians who are "occupying" covenant land God promised the Jews. The Palestinians should have a place to live, says Hutchens, but it should not be on land God has decreed for the Jews. He says once Israel is able to dismantle all Palestinian terror groups, Jordan would then be a logical state for the Palestinians to inhabit.
