roachboy, could you guide me through some questions I have regarding the Zionist movement? Is it not an act of 'terror' to claim another's land as your own simply because your ancestory once lived on that land? What were the legal justifications guiding the UN that allowed them to support the partitioning of the region?
I sense an underlying racism in the decision directed at both the Arabs and the Jews. Was there never a Jewish "right of return" to their homes and businesses in Europe? The act of creating a Jewish 'homeland', at the expense of the current populace is the incoherence that I am unable to reconcile in my mind.
The US has experienced mostly symbolic protests of this kind by native Americans, and harshly dealt with militant protests to recapture land lost many generations ago. Do they not have a far more recent claim to this land, than the Jews had of Palestine in 1948? It makes my head spin.
