You constantly post the same crap - taking an arbitrary date and stating that you wish to go back to that date. Yet you get upset if someone says to you that the Native Americans should have your land and you should go back to Italy or wherever you are from before you colonized their land. Israel is not going away. The type of arguments that you post are reasons why there will always be strong support for Israel. There must always be a safeguard and home for Jews in the event that extremist thinking takes hold somewhere. That's the lesson we learned and will never forget.

What state-sponsored suicide bombing or other terror is financed by your taxes? None. You're just lying. I belittled the phony self-righteous pretxt that the current administration used to appeal to the American woman to justify attacking Iraq and Afghanistan. You see - right there you dismissed the Taliban's persecution as a pretext. It wasn't fiction that the Taliban persecuted women - it was reality. A reality you were dismissive of. favor the return of stolen land from Middle Eastern Jews, Christians, and Moslems by European and American Zionists. But what about the land being stolen now by Arabs from Assyrians? You're OK with that proving your stance is not based on compassion. Palestine is the home of Palestinians. It is there that they should live. European and American Jews have a home in their respective countries. This is exactly equivalent to saying all whites and blacks and Asians must leave the western hemisphere and you will support genocide against them to accompolish it. am waiting for you to develop the story of the Assyrian Christian's suffering. I posted this to you. You said it wasn't significant. The drug use is affecting your memory. Here's some info: atour.com Syria's Water Policy Targets Assyrian Christians by AINA - Assyrian International News Agency Posted: Monday, August 21, 2000 10:33 am CST .... Not surprisingly, though, there is sufficient water to reach several Arab villages north of the Assyrian villages as well as the state owned Manajer Farm, which was previously confiscated and nationalized from an Assyrian Christian landowner. Some Arab farmers enjoying close ties to corrupt government officials are allowed to dig wells despite the law, but are in turn charged as much as half of their harvest. While turning a blind eye to wells dug by Arab farmers, the government never the less strictly enforces the ban on wells in the Assyrian villages. ..... Just north of Sapeh, a dam diverts water to a reservoir that serves Hassaka, the main city of northeastern Syria. In the area beginning at the Manajer Farm and extending north to Sapeh and the surrounding Arab villages, there is sufficient water flow for irrigation and drinking. Also, the Arab villages to the north continue to enjoy ample water for irrigation on account of the illegal wells. With the dammed and diverted water stored for use in a reservoir farther to the south, water again becomes available just south of the Assyrian villages. No access from the reservoir is granted to the Assyrian villages. This recent Syrian policy leaves the Assyrian villages alone within an arid belt bereft of water while water is redistributed to the north and south either directly from the Khabur river, through government condoned illegal wells, or through the reservoir. The conspicuously abrupt water demarcation lines in the area of the Assyrian villages is a consequence of both the severity of the current drought and, more importantly, a result of primitive and corrupt Syrian governmental environmental policy as well as the government's inherent hostility towards the politically disenfranchised Assyrian community. ..... Now the Syrian government is using water scarcity as an internal political tool to refashion the demography of the Jazirah by encouraging the exodus of Assyrians from an historically Assyrian region.
