>>How big of the European, American, and other foreign Jews to share someone else's land!<< I don't know how big it is or was. The centuries conceal many title changes, generally by superior force. Not only can no-one pinpoint the original owners, but they can make no ethical case for which uniform point in time each piece of land should revert back to a particular owner, unless they speak only of one land and they have a particular axe to grind that suits their purpose or argument. That ain't ethics; it's self-interest. Understanding that civilization moves forward, not backward, if such party claiming title wishes to reclaim title, the choices are clear: a) buy it back; b) negotiate it back; or c) take it back using a superior military force. If said party cannot succeed at the first two options, they must understand the risk of option (c). If they lack the superior force, they risk losing more. Morally or not, that's how the world works and has always worked. As to any claim of the Indians to land hereabouts, the same holds true. And since I have no investment in land at all, the outcome bears no impact on me whatsoever. My personal interest in the Israeli/Palestinian war is rooted in one thing alone: I am opposed to genocide and any who advocate it - towards any people anywhere in the world - is my enemy.
