By the way, Irwin... in answer to your questions, the reason Palestinians resisted prior to 1967, is because they were being displaced from their homes and their livlihoods, and they were also being indiscriminitaly slaughtered by proto-Israeli terrorists, and after that, by the Israeli government. Prior to the arrival of the Europeans Jews in the latter part of the 1800s and the early part of the 1900s, Jews, Christians, and Muslims all lived together in that area in relative harmony.

And even the Mizrahi Jews (I bet you don't even know what "Mizrahi" means) resisted the encroachment of the Europeans Jews in those early days. None of the indigenous people (Jew and non-Jew alike) wanted the supremacist European Jews to appropriate their land and their livlihoods.

It's not about Jews versus non-Jews. It's about suprmacist Europeans versus indigenous peoples. Trying to make it about Jews versus non-Jews is just a smoke screen.

It's not enough for you that I support the existance of Israel within the pre-1967 borders. You want me to support the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the government of Israel. You are a racist and a supremacist.
