RE: "While I don't like the way the Native Americans were treated in this country during their conquest by the European settlers" This is the first time I've ever seen someone use the phrase "European settlers" in reference to killing Native American Indians, rather than saying Americans killed them when they came & stole their country. Regards, Amy J

re: I am not about to right a wrong by giving up one of our current states so how much time should pass before you would no longer be responsible? Is it a 1000 years or few hundred years or a hundred years. Brits announced their intentions before WWII and most of the land was uninhabited at the time. Both palestinian arabs and Israelis are equally new to that small chunk of desert .....

Re: The Jews were driven out of Palestine........I don't know all the details but I am sure it was not very nice. The Romans too were driven out of Palestine, actually, out of their Mediterranean empire altogether... So, how about handing Palestine over to the current Roman emperor, Silvius Berlusconius? I'm sure Gianfranco Fini would be glad to serve as Berlusconius' governor of Palestine. Besides, Muslims were driven out of Andalusia (Spain) in the 1490s... Perhaps Morocco, Algeria, Libya,... should reconquer Andalusia? The Gypsies too were forced out of central India in the 11th century --how about a Gypsie homeland around Bangalore, fully equipped with nuclear weaponry? Likewise, the Greeks were expelled from Constantinople (today's Istanbul) and Anatolia (Niceae, Trebizond,...) during the 15th century....
