Robert,
You are forgetting that Zionism was declared in the late 1800's and the Arabs were aware of their designs. The Arabs were not opposed to re-locating Jews who were fleeing Europe, but they were adament to allow anyone who wanted to claim to be Jewish and de-stabilize Palestine.
Show me where refugees (in a strict sense of the word, not someone claiming persecution in Baltimore and a need to emigrate to Palestine) where the Arabs attacked the refugees?
Muslims have nothing over Christians, and now Jews, in being racist (sic) and persecuting.
In your hypothetical example, if the majority of those Len Grasso's were on the other side of the globe and could not or would not want to be located anywhere else than where they wished, if the indigenous population saw fit to accept them, then they would be relocated there. If they used their own tragedy to exploit the events to declare a State for all Len Grasso's who claim to have Biblical justification, to invite all their friends elsewhere in the world, then this is not ethical or moral.
Concerning Catholicism, if the Italians wish to throw the Vatican out of Italy, that is their call.
Not all Jews have been persecuted and suffered. You have been watching much too much television and Hollywood movies or reading "scholarly" work written with an agenda.
What American Jew has justification to emigrate to Israel claiming persecution? Really?
Democracy? Israel is a democracy?
