Hey marcos, hasn't it yet dawned on you that if the Zionist project had been attempted in Uganda, you would be shedding passionate tears now over the fate of the poor poor tribesmen, Dinka or Kikuku or whoever whose human rights had been so brutally run over by those bad Zionists? Just as you do for the poor poor Palestinians? It isn't like you actually care about the Ugandans anymore than you care for the Palestinians. It's only that you don't like the Jews. Whatever they do, they are held to a standard of perfection, with all mitigating circumstances forgotten totally. The proof is, there isn't one other case where such a standard is applied. Nor do you give a tinker's dam about Arab suffering anywhere else.

had the Uganda proposal [which while then called Uganda was actually much of present-day Kenya as well] gone over better at that early zionist congress, they could have much more easily wiped out or subjugated or chased away the inhabitants, and ended up with a larger, more fertile, and far more defensible nation now ... also with a degree of perceived legitimacy, had they done this earlier on, before sensibilities had shifted towards regarding the indigenous as human beings .. Black Africa is a stellar example of indigenous peoples triumphing over outsiders. I doubt "zionists" would have faired any better than the Brits in Kenya/Uganda. Now the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand are a different matter. I have long thought that the county of Palestine in the state of Texas would have been a great location for modern Israel. They could have built the New Jerusalem there (admittedly, not quite to Revelations proportions though), and had a great run of trade with southern evangelical tourists. Kind of like an enormous religious Disneyland.
