Then the 'Indians' should have most of North America back or perhaps it should be Mexico who 'owned' Texas, California, Utah, etc. All Europeans should go back to Europe.

Gee. I see that happening soon.

Homeland doesn't exist. Everyone is just renting a space on a map sitting in a file cabinet in a bureaucratic government office.

Come to think of it, I believe my people lived on Manhattan Island 20,000 years ago! I would like it back...plus interest on the use.

I'm Scotch/Irish. I'm not pushing for any "right of return"!

that's a point, the same people advocating for Palestinians' right of return to their homeland, deny Israelis' right to return to their homeland....

The two groups spend all their time denying the other the right to live where they are. How about they all live together as equals?

Homeland shmomeland, where's your "homeland"? I doubt Tiger Woods has this bizarre innate desire to return to his mama's homeland in Thailand.

But they are so quick to send the jews to uganda or equador, without taking the indigenous folks of those nations view into accout at all. There would have been no need for israel if the US/Canada et al had permitted large scale immigration. Sure there were true zionists but most of the jews had no other place to go and this is the only place where the world allowed them to go. So lets lay off israel and put the blame where it truly belongs--first on the nazis for causing massive death and dislocation and then on the rest of the world who decided the jews should be returned to israel.
