So, did I actually cause you to modify your stated opinion a little? True, they are not exact parallels, only similar. This is a little different from what you said in the post I responded to. There you said: "we can see clearly that the Yugoslav-Kosovar problem is identical to the Israeli-Palestinian problem." Since you couldn't explain why you took opposite sides of two conflicts that you described as identical, you decided they weren't really identical after all, just similar. But the same question applies if they are similar. If the conflicts are similar, why do you position yourself on different sides of the two similar conflicts? Say, it couldn't simply be bigotry, could it?

you are totally mixed-up on history... Palestian State never existed in history of mankind....and was never pluralistic Israel was attacked by arabs in violation of UN resolutions (not vice versa...they lost the war not won....Does California belong to Mexico? (or recent Americans) Relevant UN resolutions concern West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem... not Israel after 1948...Israel is 1:50 minority in the Region Kosovars lived there for centuries (never mind recent immigrants) What is similar? Two nations want the same land, historic sites, security, water and have other non-compatible interests..
