Thread Name: BS: Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Palestine
Hey, we Amurricans killed off the natives fair and square. (Please, please don't take this wrong. It's coming from me, and I have a permanent BG.)

Where Israel was carved out of existing territory, the natives weren't conquered or killed off, so while it is a *fact* that the UN created Israel legally, should that make the displaced homeless?

Or should they all just become Jordanian and Lebanese and other nationalities from areas surrounding Israel and let the Israelis take over more and more that they *weren't* given legally, and forget about Palestine, which has existed since before Judea?

Or should it be realized, some would say decided, that said occupation, while legal, was wrongly accomplished, or wrong to begin with since why base land lines on the Talmud instead of the Koran, or some secular peace negotiation? After all, Prohibition was repealed, despite it having been legally started by constitutional amendment. The UN should be allowed to change its mind if it decides it was wrong then. Then the Israelis could become Jewish citizens of Jordan and Lebanon and etc and give everybody a rest for a while... yeah, right.

What is the "right" thing to do?
