So if Jews are really dedicated, explode small nuclear devices (civilians I mean, maybe they get the Nuclear weapons from the Israeli military, but Civilians do the mass murdering of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, that would be OK, because then we would prove that we are dedicated to our cause. This is bull. Can you really even comprehend what you are saying.

And no the Palestinians were not thrown off their land, most left because Arabs told them to. Now the Jews of Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, the then West Bank, they were thrown off their land. Are they refugees, No. Why because we Jews take care of our own. I believe that Zeev has attested to the care other Jews gave his family when they were in need. If the Arabs had done the same thing, there would never have been a need for little Arab boys to be duped into killing themselves.

OT - hi gancho, according to the late Eric Hoffer, a la "The True Believer," the dispossessed and disenfrancised are very motivated, "dedicated" if you will. However, in itself it is value free, i.e., they become the instrument of the good and the evil. A few cases in point, the Nazi, the early Christian, the fundamentalists etc etc. In order to transcend this sort of one dimensional group manipulation, you will need higher types at the top. People like Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Jesus etc etc. When the mass repose their faith in unenlightened but charismatic leaders like Hltler etc., all hell breaks loose.

JMHO

best, Bosco
