<<She has a right to exist in the land, every bit as America has a right to exist here.>> That's an interesting analogy. I'm not sure we do have a right to exist here. We took this land from the natives by force and deceit. We built up much of it with slave labor. We do exist on this land and we will continue to exist on this land, but do we really have the right? If you believe the Bible stories to be literally true, Israel took her land also by brutal force. If you go by modern archaeology, the unified kingdom of David and Solomon may well have never existed. After WWII the Jews should've been given a homeland in Germany and the Germans should've been forced to live in the desert with no water, no oil, surrounded by people who didn't want them there. I can see how the Jews had a right to Germany, but did they really have a right to Palestine? Again, like us, Israel exists and will continue to exist whether or not they have a right to the land they exist upon. Steve Dietrich
