"Besides, what blame can be assessed to Palestinians for what was done in Europe by folks who, if asked, wha their faith was, would answer Christian?" Neither Jews, nor Christians, nor Palestinians should be blamed for the actions of their parents.

<< The Arabs were not opposed to these people going to Palestine. >> Nonesense. The Arabs are opposed to any non-Arab, non-Mulsim moving into their sanctimonious area. The Jews were attacked from the beginning. << They were concerned about further immigration ... >> Yeh, sure. What does "further immigration" mean? Jews were scattered throughout Europe and held in camps, sometimes the same camps they were held in by the Nazis. For years, England prevented many from escaping to Israel. << ... and the establishment of a "Jewish" State. >> Of course the Arabs were against any non-Arab or non_muslim state in the area. The Arabs are among the most racist "Klans" in the world. Let's say that the holocaust attacked all "len grassos" instead of Jews, and that half of the millions of "len grassos" (God forbid) in the world were murdered, and that there were not too many safe places for the rest of the "len grassos" to go. Would the remaining "len grassos" try to build a state of their own where they would be safe, or would they just wait around, at the mercy of others, to see if the rest of the "len grassos" would be wiped out? << But allow me to step back a moment and remind you that Jews were not the only victims of genocide during WW II, >> But what does this have to do with the Arab culture of hate? << ... but think it was an act of war to create a "Jewish" State over the objections of the Arab people. >> And what if the intolerant Arab people object to Christian states in Europe? Should Catholicism be removed from Poland? Should the Vatican be destroyed in Italy? Hmmmmm!? I'll have to think about that idea! <g> << Jews are not different than me ... >> I disagree. The Jews, who survived hardship, genocide, torture and depravation, were able to build a powerful democracy out of the ashes of WWII. From your comments, if you were in charge of the Jews after WWII, you would have not led your people to the freedom and protection of their own state. This is a big difference.
