Except that your analogy is ridiculous...I mean really stupid...We don't have any occupied territory...Illegal aliens are a problem, but to compare them to the Israeli/Palestinian situation is totally asinine...Please ask the moderators to remove your post as temporary insanity.

The radical wing of the Aztlan would disagree with you. See post 75. They've identified with the palestinians for decades. Not the meeting with Arafat, a Marxist terrorist, twenty five years ago in Beirut. Tourists in a war zone? Or might they have hoped to learn a bit from Yasser, a master of organization and destabilization.

It's fair to say there's no core of radical Aztlanians ready to carry out attacks. The best they can do is the occasional disruptive demonstration. But if you're familiar with their history, the potential for violence is there. At this point in time, they feel they can acheive their goals other ways, through population growth. Also an erstwhile strategy of the palestinians.

I don't make a habit of letting the views of radical nutcases define reality for me.

The borders of the United States are accepted by every government in the world, including that of Mexico.

The situation in Israel is different. While most countries recognized the 1967 border of Israel as the line where Israel was sovereign, some countries didn't even acknowledge the existence of the country at all.

When Israel captured all of the west bank and the Sinai, it didn't annex them. Clearly that land was something that could only be termed "occupied territory", even by the Israelis.

There is no analogy to that in the situation with the wackjobs in Aztlan.
