"Is that what the British did in the New World when they fought the French and Indians?" The British and French were not in Palestine to colonize the place. they were there to administer a government to take it out of the hands of the Ottoman Turks and into the hands of the Palestinian people. "The Palestinians just didn't have the ability for create a unified governmental body in the manner that the Israelis did. They didn't have the cultural background for democratic self-government, and any government would merely have reflected the ability of one tribe to dominate the others." So, this justifies foreigners coming in, dominating the process, usurping it actually? Palestine was a Third World nation, what can be expected of them initially? I must say, your reasoning mirrors the reasoning of the Crusaders, who were out to save (and make a few bucks in the process) the heathens for Christ. "The Palestinians have about as much right to claim that purchased land was "stolen" from them as the Canarse Delaware indians have for selling Manhattan Island for $24 (actually 60 guilders). They did it, they made a profit, and then the proceeded to try and fight the Jews to drive them off of it so they could reclaim it for themselves." I agree. If the land was legitimately purchased, it is the purchaser's land, regardless of where they came from. A contract is a contract. At most, only 9 % of the land in Palestine was purchased... Canarse? Sounds like some of my relatives! len
