"The number of Cambodian refugees back in the late 70s absolutely swamps the number of Arab refugees in '48. The number of Muslim refugees from India in '48 absolutely swamped the number of Arab refugees in '48. I could go on and on....Resettling a few hundred thousand refugees is, relatively speaking, nothing. Millions have been frequently resettled over the years. Without semi-permanent camps." See! Israel is not as bad as ( the Nazis, Stalin, the Turks, etc.... fill in the historical atrocity ) As when I tried that on my mom when busted with things my brother had done - "Two wrongs don't make a right"

"Chris, Michael is right--you and I agree on a lot of things. But on this particular issue, I find your perspective shallow and simple." Its the new anti-semitism Sam. Maybe he can justify it by saying its anti-zionism only but when they knowingly print phony maps and concentrate on this propaganda regarding the refugees, I just want to call a spade a spade. Chris has called me a traitor and i know he thinks the same about you. Sure i have s soft spot in my heart for israel much as an italian american has for italy. Israel represents a part of my heritage and also my american heritage of democracy. OTOH, chris' anti semitism is abhorrent to everything american and the big lie technique he uses is reminiscent of hitler and stalin. It sucks that a part of the left has bought into the imperialism/colonialism justification of excoriating israel and the US. Sure both nations have made mistakes but if chris thinks we are big satan and little satan, he should move to one of those camps on one of those maps he loves to print. Meanwhile are you going to relocate to the Falklands as chris suggests jews should do? Maybe i will meet you in a relocation camp one day.
