"what happens when a new people take over a country and displace the people who were there before. "

This is the part of what you say that I take exception to. The Jews that were in the West Bank, from biblical times, were driven out or killed in 1948- and the world thought that was ok, since the Jewish Homeland ( from 1923, the 25% of British Mandate Palestine that Jews were permitted to live in) was there to take them in- And Jordan ( the Arab Moslim Homeland 75% of British Mandate Palestine) took those Moslim Palestinians that were willing to live in peace.

Israel settled the 820,000 Arab Jews driven out of Arab Moslim nations: Why did the Arab Moslim nations not settle the 640,000 Palestinian Moslims who fled Israel? And why are there so many Arb Moslims who stayed in Israel, and so few Jews that were allowed to stay in the Moslim nations? As for displaced people, the Jews have a greater claim than the present residents of Gaza.

Israel has been trying to trade land for peace- Yet when they give up land, they get no peace. Seems like the world cannot expect Israel to keep giving up safty, and NOT take action against armed attacks on it's citizens, both Jewish and Moslim.




See my post of 30 Dec 08 - 09:40 AM for the Hamas Charter. Now look at the Israeli constitution: Which is a better protection of the "minority " rights of the people of the other religion living in the respective territories?

Oh, thats right- Jews are not allowed to live ( in Moslim Territories).
