>Albert, let me see. A group of people of the same religion have been confined to designated areas. They have no country of their own. They have been persecuted for their faith. Some consider them almost sub human. They are crowded into buildings unable to adequately house them. A scan of the area would suggest to most that these are slum conditions. They continue to survive on virtually nothing. If you're talking about the Palestinians, they're not being persecuted for their religion... they're allowed and encouraged to worship as they wish. They're sealed in refugee camps by leaders from their own religion. They are crowded into buildings by the same people. They are allowed to work, but their leaders would rather have them fight. >You may consider the plight of Judaism to be special and I can understand that but don't make me anti-semitic because I see a relationship between Jews and other persecuted cultures, or because I won't hold the Jews in the same special light that you have created for them. There are a couple of differences. For one, Jews have been persecuted in nearly every single country in the world over a period of 2000 years... the hatred is much more widespread. In a number of instances, especially the Holocaust, people tried to exterminate them completely, and in the Holocaust, an entire third of them were wiped out. Also, there's extensive propaganda against Jews in the world. Do you realize that blood libel accusations still circulate in the world? How about the fact that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a best-seller throughout the Arab world? That's all way more than I can say for any other group. >I believe in and support the right of any disenfranchised group to live in peace and freedom. Yes, but when you refer to the Palestinians, you seem to point your finger at the wrong place when it comes to responsibility for their disenfranchisement. That's a major problem. -Z
