Thread Name: BS: Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Palestine
The idea that the term Jewish Homeland" implied territory exclusively or even predominantly Jewish is one which has been developed retrospectively. The original understanding of theterm was that it meant a place where Jews would have a right to live and share with other people whose home it was, more especially those other "children of Abraham", the Arabian inhabitants of the territory.

But that isn't relevant to what I boringly remind people is the supposed topic of the thread, the rights and wrongs of the Palestinian bid in 2011 to membership of the United Nations.
