Phew.. a far cry from your prior post to Hawk (following the thread).. and this one makes good sense.. Not based upon his claim that all Ashkenazi Jews were Russian Christian converts to Judaism.. The facts, as I have seen in my queries is that Jews settled in various part of Europe, including Russia, but didn't really inter-marry with the local population until more recent times. I'm not Jewish, and I don't really like any culture that is so exclusionary to racial/national "blending". Nor do I especially care about thousand year old territorial claims. But that said, I can understand why the Jews wanted to reclaim their little ancestral land of their origin. Arabs would feel the same way had Jews conquered, occupied, and then subjugated Mecca and Medina, or even Yemen, the ancestral origin of Qhatani Arabs. Btw, I understand that in Judaism, faith and national identity (being Jewish) is Matriarchal. Odd how this is the exact opposite of Arab culture. Hawk
