The Chinese now living in Tibet (I think I read somewhere that there are over a million now) are not "settlers", did you ever notice that? They are never called "settlers." They are not called "colonists" either, though that is the proper term for them.

Wonder why that is?


Nobody cares much about a few people out in the Himalayas stuck between China and India and a few other countries lucky enough not to get swallowed by those two giants. The Israelis, silly decision makers that they are, chose a location both already populated and including Jerusalem to self determine themselves. Surprise - lots of other people on the planet care about Jerusalem! Who'd have thunk it?

If the Jews had all moved to Bhutan and taken over in 1948, I'll bet you they would have had peace from 1948.5 to today. :-)
