<< How about the American Indians? Are we occupiers of their territory? >>

I wonder how America would react if American Indians would start blowing up malls and schools and buses? Would America offer the Indians their own state, if they would just stop killing Americans?

<< How about Israel gives land back when the US gives the Indians back their land? >>

Israel has already given most land back, since the Oslo agreements. The Palestinians have had autonomy, an armed police force, their own government, and hundreds of millions of dollars of aid, from Israel. In other words, there is no occupation!

It is an example of extreme corruption, incompetence and evil by the Palestinian leadership. The Palestinian people suffer under Arafat's lack of morals, leadership and management skills. Who does Arafat blame for the failure and the corruption of his Palestinian government? Hmmmm!? Interesting question.....

Not to mention the West Bank and Gaza were spoils of war.

A war that Israel started.

How about the American Indians? Are we occupiers of their territory?

Are you justifying the actions against the American Indians?

By the way, notice that American Indians have full citizenship and equal rights, in contrast to Israeli Arabs, who have second-class citizenship and partial rights. In fact, American Indians have been granted extra rights as reparations for the crimes committed against their ancestors.
