Well said, Rollcast. Many think as you do.

Rollcast - I think you misunderstood.

I was not accusing anyone of anything. The point was that it is not rational to advocate giving all land back to its first known settlers, as our friend Nikita suggested from a Jewish angle.

When he said: "Palestine is Jewish land: Arabs took it buy force. Jews should take it back."

I replied by pointing out that Americans were in no hurry to give back the land they took from Indians.

It was a general point. As in, it is not sensible to advocate earlier settlers of a land to claim rights to it now.

I was not addressing your patriotic sentiments as someone of American Indian origin.

I hope it is clearer to you now.
