Subject: RE: BS: Obama on Zionism, Jews
The fact that you have not met them doesn't mean they don't exist, beardedbruce. They fled during the Nakba, along with the Muslim Arabs. Some of them even ended up in the same refugee camps in the countries surrounding Israel that the Muslim Arabs ended up in. Many of them, however, having more resources than the Muslim Arabs, fled to Western countries. There are many Christian Arabs living in the US and other Western countries, who came here after fleeing the ethnic cleansing during 1948/49.

Don't bother, Peace, It is not a war if only Jews are getting killed.

I find this terribly ironic, considering that the leadership of what is now Israel was slaughtering and ethnically cleansing Arabs during the several months prior to Israel declaring its independence, and yet those leaders of what is now Israel are only willing to say that it was a war after independence was declared. But Israel was not being threatened in 1967, so there was no need for war except for the purpose of acquiring land, which many of the Israeli leadership were perfectly open about saying was the reason for going to war.
