During their "diaspora" the family went to Lebanon and two of the children (my age) went to study at the A.U.B. in Beirut, one becoming a doctor and the other an accountant. The irony is that every Jewish family can identify with that history. It just runs through our family histories, that every generation or two, you will have to take what you can carry and run for it, as my father and his family did in 1940. The Palestinians are really the world's newest crop of pseudo-Jews. Their leaders are turning them into pseudo-Zionists too, though it seems to me a very sick sort of pseudo-Zionism whose only raison d'etre is destroying Zionism. However, my family doesn't maintain any illusions about being able to recover the land we lost in Latvia during WWII. For that matter, the descendants of the East Prussians and the Sudetan Germans aren't going home either. Only the Palestinians have had their refugee status carefully preserved by their 'brother' Arabs, unless they were resourceful enough to get out as your friends did. Will the Palestinians ever get a leadership that understands that politics is the art of the possible?
