I'm using your own words here Tim. No you are not. Your not even really using my own concepts or ideas. Your far from using my own words. Do you think the majority of the existing population of Palestine wanted Jewish immigration and an eventual Jewish state? You too? I expect more from you. From Geode perhaps I shouldn't be surprised by the use of irrelevant conclusion but from you I didn't expect it. I was talking about forced mass exodus. The creation of Israel wasn't a forced mass exodus of people. Whether the existing majority population liked the new comers is a separate issue. It might even be considered an important one, but if you want to raise that issue don't say "I'm using your own words here Tim.". You aren't. You are raising a different issue.

Unless the lines line up exactly, Tim can't follow the debate. Tim can only follow a single line of reasoning at a time and multiple debates within a single post make him very uncomfortable. He has a low tolerance for ambiguity which is why I suspect he spends hours sorting his sock drawers. :)

Do you think the majority of the existing population of Palestine wanted Jewish immigration and an eventual Jewish state? Let's take a different angle on this Neolib. Do you think the majority of Ottoman Turks, who had dominion over most of the Arab world for over 500 years, wanted a Jewish state? And do you think they wanted to see the rest of their empire carved up into artificial Arab states by their British and French occupiers? Would any of the current regional tension exist to the extent that it currently does if we'd guaranteed that the Ottoman Empire would remain intact? Hawk
