Are the people from New York, New Yourkinians? Do they have a language called Yonkers that goes back in time? Do they worship the towers, or write in Yonkinian, using the Yonkinian Alphabet? Do they have a History that goes back long enough to be called history, instead of news? Do they cook food that is only found in the Bronx, that their great great grandaddy cooked?
Tell me about the Occupation of New York "Yonkinians" by the American Imperialists, and I will show you how the "Palestinians" (Founded in 1963), with a much shorter history than New York are not a "People" but a gathering of Arabs, claiming rights that your viewpoint is too shallow to comprehend. Fair enough?
I got history in America that goes back a lot farther than yours. (Cherokee) What if I demanded, "Send me money, you occupier! Give me California or pay the price!!! After I kill off half your family, in the most outragous murders you could imagine I demand that you pay me money for peace and then apologise for being an occupier!!!!
Sound pretty stupid when the shoe is on your foot doesn't it? You like funny shoes, you wear them. Quit trying to force the world to fit your fantasy, Mr Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Sadam.
What you fail to comprehend as relevant is not the origin of people 100 years ago, but where people are living today. People have a right to remain in their own homes on their own land. Its a fundemental right called property rights, and the warmongering of governments does not negate it.
You appear to be dealing with a lot of anger. Have you considered an anger management course?
