the issue was not just that Jews were moving in, the issue was that they were moving in with the openly declared intention of declaring sovereignty over the area on terms that were absolutely unacceptable to the existing population. The Palestinians didn't seem to mind when the Hashemites came in and established ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY over the area of Jordan, now did they?? Do you think the occupants of the region minded when the Ottoman Turks ruled the area for 400 years?? Do you think whoever was living in Palestine (combination of peoples) minded when the Arabs originally occupied the area? I mean, come on now Steven.. I'm not excusing it, nor do I even believe in it, but Zionism, as you define it, was representative of the period in which it appeared. In the US, it was "manifest destiny".. European imperialism, and empires fighting to conquer the colonies of their rival empire. And besides, the Arabs felt no remorse about making Jews (and everyone else) live under Islamic law.. Why is that any different than what Zionism represents(ed)?? Hawk
