I'm not in the least bit ashamed of myself, Galbraith. Are you advocating collective punishment or not? If you're not, then what I said in my last post doesn't apply to you, because I said: Are you saying that these things justify the massive human rights abuses that Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinians? Because if you are, you would be advocating collective punishment, and I'm sure Hitler would be proud of you for that.

On the other hand, if you are advocating collective punishment, then what I said stands.

From nerd:

I didn't tell you what to do. I said "please." Where I come from that counts as a request.

However, you saying "don't tell me what to do" is, er, telling me what to do. See the difference?

Ok. I'll rephrase... I'll yell at you if I want to. Please don't tell me what to do.

If you agree that the Palestinians in Israel aren't all refugees, and that Jordan is a Palestinian Arab state, then how can you refer to the refugees as "a whole people?" You are being inconsistent.

I don't recall saying that I agree that Jordan is a Palestinian Arab state. Please show me where I have done this.

The rest of your points are going to have to wait until I have more time than I have right now for answering. Maybe tomorrow.
