As I said, history is irrelevant since the situation has changed, so don´t come with quotes from the 30´s of the last century.

Is the Austrian people different from the German (and in particular of the Bavarian)? Is the "people of Liechtenstein" (ca. 40.000 citizen) different to the German people, or the "people of Monaco" different to the French people? Not really, though they´re sovereign states.

I think that the Palestinians feel as a nation, they don´t want to be dependant on Syria, Jordan or anyone else. That´s what matters. The terms and feelings have changed. Within the last decades, Palestinians became a nation and the term Palestinians is used for the Arabs living in WB and Gaza. Abdul Darawshe even said that he felt as a Palestinian ("We are all Palestinians..").

We acknowledge that the people of Palestine want to be a sovereign nation and according to Woodrow Wilson, every people has the right to decide about its future on its own. The Palestinians have chosen independancy and that´s their right by matter of fact they and Israel have made.

What you are describing is the Arab demographic attack against Israel (those are the Arabs words, not mine) which attempt to create "facts on the ground" by outbreeding everyone around them, no matter how poor it makes 'em.

They are doing the same thing in Germany.

That is why history matters.

Middle East history matters very little to you, because your posting shows you don't know a whole lot about it. Have you considered a career as an EU bureaucrat?

Maybe history doesn't matter to YOU. That's YOUR problem.

If I were a German, I suppose I might feel the same, since German history over the last century has few bright points besides unless you count external elements like the Marshall Plan, or the freeing of East Germany - both of which were courtesy of my tax dollars.

Michael, how are your fellow Germans going to react when the rapidly expanding Islamic population in Germany declares themselves "Nation" and demands the implementation of Sharia law and self rule in their neighborhoods that don't speak German, anyway? and then start suicide bombing Frankfurt malls and Berlin leather bars to get their way?

Are you going to say that "history doesn't matter, they are a distinct people because they feeeeeel like one?"

If so, you sign your own death warrant.
