So tell me tejek. Go back to the earliest days of Jewish re-immigration into the Middle East from their diaspora. What did they do? They bought land legitimately, then they defended that land against marauders, most Arab tribal people. Later when sovereignty was declared within U.N. boundaries, these boundaries did not include some settlements that already existed. That's the innocent part. The bad part is when Zionists started accelerating settlement activity in order to recapture historical Israel. Sharon had a huge hand in this early on. However, once again, those settlements were purchased legally in most cases. What makes this different than American settlements in foreign lands and foreign settlements in American lands? There isn't a religious war going on between Americans and foreigners. There is one going on between Muslims and Jews. The truth is a different course could have been charted. If the Jews had be less concerned with Jewish racial purity, and hadn't treated Arab Israelis as second class citizens, and if the Arabs hadn't taught their children that Jews were the offspring of apes and pigs and that they should be exterminated, then perhaps they could have learned to live together. But that's a parallel universe where wishful thinking was converted to reality.
