The Native Americans have full citizenship (plus extra bonus rights - gambling, tax breaks, etc). The Palestinians do not. End of comparison.

Not at all. If you read my posts to Len and back, it has been a consistent theme.

He feels that there should no Israel because Jews from other lands came and settled. Arabs left or were kicked out depending on your point of view. His point is that they took the land of the natives.

I constantly point out his hypocrisy living on land he has admitted once belonged to a native tribe.

My own personal feelings is that enough time has passed in both cases. We are not going back. Israel is not going to cease to exist.

I believe better effort should be made on both sides to make peace and for some type of compensation for Palestinians AND for Jews who were kicked out of Arab lands.
