"Typical Jewish attitude. On your own crimes, we should "move forward" and be "pragmatic". Sure sounded to me like you were claiming that I'm Jewish. And these "guilt trips" that some Jews attempt to place upon the backs of others, are no worse than the ones being placed upon us by the Palestinians, where they would target their terrorist attacks against anyone they perceived as a supporter of Israel, including US citizens. (and they certainly aren't any worse than the politics currently being made out of paying reparations for slavery). But both, eventually, will die out and they will just have to learn to live together with one another. The very fact that you continue to use the term "zionism", is itself an indication of your anachronistic mindset. The reality is that more Israelis merely want to live in peace, and not find themselves bearing the brunt of perpetual threats and attacks. Can you only imagine if the US were facing such similar threats and attacks from Mexico based upon the confiscation of huge quantities of Mexican land (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California) so many years ago?? If Mexicans were crossing the border to commit suicide bombings, we certainly wouldn't sit on our heinies and do nothing. Israel exists. It's borders are not going to change without their consent (Golan Heights).. And because of the endless years of warfare that have been waged against them since they declared statehood, I believe they have the moral right to continue holding that land if they so desire, if only to maintain their own security. And I personally believe that, if Israel is required to give up certain territories to create a Palestinian State, then other surrounding nations should be required to do the same, including Jordan and Egypt.
