Thanks for posting my words, as they need correction., to wit: . . .every civilian in Israel who uses this contraband land Palestinians have a right to [Insert : ,has no right to] fight, for it.
My family would never have disagreed with your sense of fairness, as an early ancestor lived with Indians, by whom he was far better treated than by the Brit leaders. In fact, our whole colonial state lived harmoniously with an Indian population until a CT colony came in and killed our neighbor Indians, leading them to believe we did it. However, the ensuing dissension has been settled by agreements providing reservations for all the tribes, just as Palestinians would now agree to allowing Israel to exist.

Excuse me???

I think you might have the relationships reveresed. You see... everything was settled and the present day Americans have allowed the Indians to exist in reservations, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! I wonder how happy you and your saintly family would be if YOU were the one living on a reservation now!

But you have the Palestinians allowing the Isrelis to live on a "reservation" AFTER losing the war... I don't know what part of the galaxy you come from, but the losers of war do not usually confine the winners to reservations.

So.. I ask you, how much effort has your family gone to to return the land to the rightful owners, the Native Americans, and to shuttle off to a reservation???

The few palestininians who lived there before 1948 bet on the wrong horse, abandoned their land with expectations of returning in a few days to claim not only what was theirs, but also to steal the land from the Jews (who actually BOUGHT IT WITH GOLD) after the Arab armada came and wiped that Jewish infestation off the face of the earth. Well, too bad.

In 1967, the Arabs attacked again, and got their asses whupped again, and lost a whole lot of area. (Isn't that how most countries determine their boundaries, by who wins and loses land in a conflict?) The Arabs should be praising Allah to have sent them such idiotic adversaries as the Israelis, who after winning land give it back time and time again. (Can we say Sinai peninsula, boys and girls?)

In any case... I think you need to read some history books. Come to think of it... even a history pamphlet will triple your knowledge base. Good luck.
