It might work...but mabye not.

   To fully assimilate another culture is near to impossible.  Many times it has been dissolved into cultural genocide or ethnocide. such cases are the Spanish with the Aztecs, and English settlers with many Native Americans. In the childhood of Ghada Karmi, the cup was just about to boil over. As shown on the two maps on page 35 and page 424. these show how the Palestinian people were crushed into smaller space.  This map shows how the Jewish people came in to Palestine and shredded it.


 The author lived in a small town just inside the West Bank. Now it is deep into Israel territory. as you can see from the map the Palestinian people have completely been squished down into small patches of land. Many of these patches are desert and others are being encroached upon by more Israel settlements. If you research successful cultural assimilation then you just get America saying "we are amazing because we let immigrants in!" All in all, cultural assimilation is a very improbable thing to happen and less Palestine gets more help than they might be all wiped out.
