re: If you're born on US soil you're entitled to be American, regardless of where your parents come from, regardless of religion if you're referring to "the right of return" then you should know that majority of those who claim the right were born in Israel or have any connection to Israeli land. I was referring to exactly what I said. Allowing a person in Argentina who's mother is a Jew to become an Israeli citizen but denying that same right to a person born to a non-Jew in the occuppied territories is discrimination based on ethnicity and religion, and its unamerican. The Argentinian Jewish kid is clearly more "equal" than the Palestinian kid under those laws. if you don't have connection to Israel and/or left Israel to commit acts of aggression against Israel you should not have right to come back You're arguing some other point here. I'm not sure what it is. Since Palestine was hardly populated and arabs need to outnumber Israelis the majority of those claiming the right has nothing to do with Israeli land. But what do you think of the idea? Turn the land occuppied by Israel and the occuppied territories into a single country with equality for all, and give citizenship on some reasonable basis. Good idea or not? The devil is in the details, of course, but as a starting point do you think that is a good solution or bad solution to the problem? in return for Mecca? Since the temple wall is the holiest place for religious Jews? You would not want to be unfair, would you? Well I don't know the history all that well, but if control over the locations are not to be shared then the numbers say give the 1.2 billion Muslims their site, and the 15 million Jews can like it or lump it. Nothing to do with preference of one over the other, its pure worldwide population numbers. Anyway, forget solution 2, I think solution 1 (make one country out of the disputed lands and give the appropriate people citizenship) is the way to go. Interestingly, politicians NEVER even seem to bring this possibility up!
