Subject: RE: BS: A discussion - What is antisemitism? .
I think, in order to see where I'm coming from on this subject, Nerd, you need to try to understand that from my perspective, it is possible for me to have feelings about something, and being aware of those feelings, that are not consistant with my sense of what is practical and logical. Practically and logically speaking, it does not make any sense to try to give the US back to the Indians. So I do not advocate for doing that, because it wouldn't make any practical or logical sense. Not because of the way I feel about it, but because of the way many millions of other people would feel about it.

However, my feeling is that if this was the Indians' land, and I was living amongst them, I would be very comfortable with that. It wouldn't bother me to find myself in that situation.

Again, it's the difference between "I", and "we". And considering how many people live in this country, that's a hell of a big difference.
