jink,
I feel for you. I honestly and truely do. But why should the Palestinians suffer because of what the Germans did? On top of that, what about
Gypsies? Shouldn't they get their own country? And the homosexuals of Europe? Maybe we need to put together a country for all homosexuals and
family members of those homosexuals because Hitler killed a bunch of them in the war? I just don't see the logic.
In addition, while you *can* compare, to some degree, the creation of Isreal to the creation of the Indian Reservations in America, there are some
differances:
1) Most native populations were FORCED onto their reservations.
2) The sovreignty of the reservations is a joke. The department of the interior and the FBI can and often do come in at any time and cause
problems
3) The reservations are not expanding, kicking people off of their land and bulldozing people's houses.
I, myself, don't have any problem with any Isreali OR Jew that is willing to live peacefully and on an equal footing with their neighbors. I *do*
have serious issues with the Isreali government that seems hell bent on the total expulsion of the Palestinians. Those that remain in Isreali borders
have next to no rights.
I also am perplexed about a particular behavior of Christians and Jews that I see here in the States. This may just be a bible belt thing, I'm not
sure. Also, bear in mind that this is a generalization and not something I expect to see out of every Judeo-Christian induvidual. Simply put, they
are a majority, but they act like a minority. Every time ANYTHING goes counter to their ideal view of the world they cry "discrimination" and
"unfair attack". Yet they have no problems forcing laws and ordinances into existance that directly benefit them at the expense of others. When
the others complain they are marginalized as a fring group.
The hypocrisy of Christianity is what made me reject the religion of my family and strike out on new ground. I see this same hypocrisy in the
behavior of the Isreali Government.
Cheers!
