Times changed when rule of law was coupled with a realization that racism is immoral So that explains about China giving back Tibet and Turkey giving back Northern Cyprus? Never mind. Times changed when people who hated Jews before figured out that they could now adopt the mantle of the Progressive Left and accuse Jews of racism for wanting a country of their own and some control over their own destiny. That's all that changed. Nobody is saying boo about the Chinese racist attitude to the Tibetans (they regard them as savages) or the Arab's racist attitudes to the Jews (they used to regard them as merely contemptible, now they regard them as demonic AND contemptible). This "times have changed" stuff operates strictly as a one-way street.

"Yes, the USA was largely land theft via gun barrel." Actually, biological weapons, both intended and unintended, were much more of a killer than guns.

You aren't giving anything away if you do it when you are dead!! Go on, expand it to 100% now, and give it all away, not just a conservation easement. <I at least have given a conservation easement on 60% of my land to the local NA tribe. Most likely will expand that to 100% in my will. > It looks like some hypocrisy. You want OTHER people to give away land they bought fair and square 100 years ago. Sure, you don't call it "giving it away", you call it "putting the Palestinians in charge". Rhodesians put Mugabe in charge of land bought 100s of years ago. And businesses bought 5 years ago. Have a look at what is happening there in the last week. Maybe it's not in your local news. Ask Google. That's what you can expect with Israel being handed over to Hamas. It would NOT be good for the property rights of Jews, nor their longevity. Mqurice
