pdq "Jews had a special cultural heritage in parts of Russia for many years. They still had to move.
The Jews in Persia, Germany and Spain each had some unique cultural heritage that was lost when they were forced to leave"

You're right pdq. But doesn't that only reinforce the point? The Jews who left the above mentioned places, losing their cultures etc., did so because they were persecuted. Then you go suggesting the same thing for palestinians??? Don't you see the implications of your parallel?

I suggest visiting the Maisel (if I remember correctly, it was one of a group of 3 or 4 near each other) synagogue in Prague before suggesting any 'peoples' are just shoved aside. The Nazis set it up as a museum to "A Vanished People" as they called it, and allowed a committee of local Jews collect there artifacts important to Jewish culture from all over the wider region. Ironically this was to ensure the preservation of these items at a time when they were being systematically pilfered and destroyed.
