These US folks were well settled here, and if they decide to go and settle there "just because they are Jewish", then what is wrong with Palestenians branding together to keep the intruders out? Chinu, two peoples are jockeying for position in one land. The Arabs have lots of immigration too, it just isn't reported. eretzyisroel.org If you take a random sampling of Jews and Arabs in Israel/Pal, and look at how long they & their ancestors have been in the land, the totals would be very close, maybe the Arab average would be ten years more at most. The land was nearly empty in the early nineteeth century, nearly everybody in it now is the descendants of immigrants. The Jewish immigration, which came by boat, is more visible than the Arab immigration, which came overland, that's all. One question, if it's okay for the Palestinians banding together to keep the "intruders" out, why is it "racist" for the Israelis to consider a law permitting towns to keep Arabs out? Why do you always judge Arabs and Israelis by a double standard? And why are Jewish immigrants "intruders", while Arab immigrants are not? Whose homeland was it first, anyway?
