You are using Biblical stories to justify reclaiming land Not at all, len. I am looking at what is; why won't you? Israel is a country and has been for over fifty years; most Israelis have been there for generations. Israel has fought for its existence in five wars and has no intention of being driven into the sea. Furthermore, the Balfour Declaration and the Emir Husseini are not Bible stories. Nor did the British give the Jews an acre; they bought the land they settled on, usually two or three times over. As for America's natives being integrated into the culture, don't kid yourself. Indians were not citizens of the US until long after the time that any of them ceased to be a threat. Israel has treated the Arabs, who remain a threat, more nicely than we treated the Indians. If Israel had treated them comparably, most of the Arabs would have been massacred. I am repeating myself here, but those Sephardim were tossed out of their respective countries as a result of Zionism and the imposition of the "Jewish" State. Um, len, the Arabs left/were tossed out of Israel not because of the creation of the Israel, but because of the war that six Arab armies immediately started. Why is this okay for the Sephardim but not for the Arabs? Your rule of thumb seems to be, it's okay for Jews to become refugees but not anybody else.
