"It's one thing to support Palestinian Arabs in their struggle against Zionism, but why do you think that Iraq should be allowed a veto over what happens in Palestine? Why should the creation of Israel -- at the time, tiny
and completely non-threatening -- seem so intolerable to them, and why should you agree with them
?"

More importantly, why should the United States and Europeans, which are thousands of miles away support and finance and veto in the United Nations, by threatening trade sanctions against those who have voted against Israel and it's "racist" policies against a native population?

Non-threatening?

Surely, you jest?

The Zionists had and have a plan and with the resources of the West and all that can be begged, borrowed or stolen from the West, through guilt-tripping and media saturation and spin, and I find it unacceptable. The Zionists wrote the book on blackmail. Who, even to the day, using Holocaust to wheedle the West?

Now that "foreigners" have re-claimed others land, the "Right of Return" for Palestinians is destructive and cannot be accommodated. What would you consider the relocation of people who were not even under a real or imagined threat of persecution in Europe and America (1950-2002) and given a "Right of Return" in Arab Palestine?

Of course, there are those who would want to frame that position as hatred or some other smoke screen.

I do not support Iraq per se, but see the hypocrisy of the situations we support, yet restrict others from doing the same.
