A lot of your post is saying, But mommy, P hit Z first ....

LOL!! I guess it might come across that way.. But really what I'm referring to is power. No nation/state that I can think of has ever come into being without disenfranchising some preceding geographical claimant.

That's the the ebb and flow of power throughout all of our history.

What really should be considered is exactly WHY do the Palestinians constitute a national entity. What makes this unique, other than the fact that for some period of time they lived in Palestine?

I can look at the Kurds up north of me and see an actual national and unique state that is spread across 3 other nation/states.

But not a damn soul in the United Nations or EU is crying for them.

And certainly no Arabs are bemoaning THEIR state of "occupation".

But bear in mind, that I really do not condone creating states on the basis of ethnicity, to include Israel.

They only lead to trouble between neighbors and continuing reason not to learn to live together peacefully.

Btw, good to see you too.. We're in kind of an operational pause here as they re-tweak our computer systems.
