Subject: RE: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
The distinction that I think is lost on you, beardedbruce, is that you seem to think that Jews can only live in the Jewish-only (apartheid) settlements in the West Bank. This is not true. The only thing Jews cannot do in the Palestinian areas of the West Bank, is exclude Palestinians (the way they do in the settlements). Jews can and do live among Palestinians in Palestinian villages and Palestinian areas.

What you are proposing is that Jews should be allowed to exclude Palestinians from all of the West Bank. This is ethnic cleansing, and this is why I keep saying that you support ethnic cleansing. You believe that Jews should be allowed to prevent Palestinians from living anywhere at all in any of the areas where they (the Palestinians) originally come from. That not only conforms to the definition of ethnic cleansing, it also conforms to the definition of genocide, since the destruction of an entire way of life is also a part of the definition of genocide.
