See the problem?
Let's see now. On one side we have somewhere between 4 and 7m people (depending on when you're counting over the past 60 years or so) who are struggling to survive after 2000 or more years of what could be reasonably called continued persecution and second class status with occasional bouts of serious murder. On the other side, we have, what, maybe 100-200m people swearing to eliminate those 4-7m, drive them "into the sea", and occasionally they start real wars, occasionally they just mass armies on the border those 4-7m, and reasonably constantly they are killing them in steady streams--but the 4-7m are supposed to sit back when attacked and not take it too personally, because... why again?
Now admittedly, the above is a cariacature, but not any more of a cariacature than your and others' posts have been. and are constantly. Because the way you frame the issue is the way Palestinian's frame the issue--"they" took our land, now they must give it back or at least allow those who want to to have their land back. Nonsense. The Ottoman Empire was no more. This caused all sorts of disruptions. The only land that Excuse me, but this is an absurd argument. The only reason you don't see it as so is because you apparently don't know anything about how the French and the British divied up the Empire. If you ask a Syrian who spouts the Assad party line, Israel ought to be part of Syria (along with Lebanon and Jordan), lol. Oh my gosh, you mean there were--immigrants--who came into Israel to populate it, so that makes it all different? Um, guess what, that was true in many places, though it is true not quite as many. But people were appointed to rule those places who in many cases had nothing to do with the places prior to their appointment or not much to do with ruling even if they happened to live in the area (see how the Gulf States were created out of thin air, or see how Faisel came to rule Iraq in the 1920s, for some examples).
Nevermind, I've got to go. Learn some history. But really, I'm sure that the world will at some point insist that justice be done to the Jewish people. The Czar's justice. The same justice that is always done, and has always been done. |
