I know I said I didn't want to post to this thread any more. And I really don't. But I need to say one thing and ask one question.

Deda, I don't think anyone is quesioning whether or not Jews need a homeland here on this thread. It's how they went, and continue to go about, makeing a homeland for themselves that is in question. And it wasn't the Palestinian Arabs (or Palestinian Christians)who kicked the Jews out of their homes in other places. I don't understand why so many people think the Palestinians should be held responsible for what was done to Jews by other people. This makes no sense to me at all.

Here's my question: Why do people get so righteously indignant if the Palestinians don't accept the state if Israel (which, by the way, many of them do), when Israel doesn't even acknowlege the existance of Palestinians as people, or their right to exist as a people? This seems like one hell of a double standard to me.
