>> That argument is used by David Duke and Nazis. <<

so? is the fundamental basis for your view so pathetic that you cannot challenge the argument itself and would rather use polarizing figures in an attempt to discredit it by association?

>> The Bible also has places where it says the Jewish people will return to Israel at the end-time. <<

rather than debate the fine points of this argument getting us nowhere, let's see if we can circumvent the argument altogether. the bible speaks of an antichrist as well. does that mean we should support everything that is prophesied?

>> So it is odd how the argument you give is selectively used. <<

just because the bible predicts something will happen, doesn't mean we should be a party to it. the bible predicts the coming of the antichrist. do you think it would be wise to aid the antichrist?

>> Clearly the Jewish people were there and that is a fact <<

ahem! exactly how long ago were jewish people there? approximately 800,000 palestinian refugees were there only 50 years ago until they were driven out by the jews. how does that compare with nearly a couple thousand years ago? are jewish historical claims valid for 2,000 years while palestinian historical claims are not even valid for 50 years?
