Subject: RE: BS: Mideast: View From the Eye of the Storm
I've said this before, and I have no problem saying it again. If the Indians want their land back, I would have no problem whatever in having it be given back to them. In fact, I think I would prefer it. I think they would probably do a damn sight better running this country than the people who are running it now. And since I don't own any land, I just rent a very small plot of land in a trailer park, I don't imagine they would have any problem becoming my new landlords.

Now, on the issue of "giving land back to the Palestinians", I am not now, nor have I ever suggested that Israel should have to give back any land other than to clear the settlements from the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, and let the Palestinians have their state on their land in those locations.

Aparantly, in Israel, there was quite a bit of support for the actions of Boruch Goldstein, Rabbi Sol. But I'll do some more fact checking on that for you.
