DG and CarolC are such excellent examples of this, that we should all pity the fact that they are unable to see beyond propaganda & downright lies

AggieD, you are making quite a lot of assumptions about me. You don't know enough about me to make a statement like that. Do you think I hold the same opinions as Dreaded Guest? If so, why? If you can show me where I have endorsed propaganda and downright lies, I might revise what I'm about to say.

I suspect that you are one of those people who attribute the actions of one person in a particular group to all of the members of that group. Oh, wait! That makes you a bigot and/or a racist!

Has anyone ever thought that it has become quite trendy to give other disposed nations their lands & rights back, so what is different for the Jews?

I actually find this statement by you to be quite offensive on many levels. First of all, it's an incredibly glib way of talking about situations that involve a lot of pain and suffering for a lot of people.

Secondly, it assumes that the peope you are talking to endorse the instances where people have been displaced to return earlier inhabitants to their former homes.

Thirdly, not only does it assume that we have done that, but also that we do it in order to be "trendy".

Are you of the opinion that all Gentiles are callous, shallow, idiots?

And lastly, if a group of people showed up in your neighborhood with their holy book and told you and your neighbors that they had a claim to your land by virtue of having been chased off it several thousand years ago, and they offered their holy book as proof that God meant for them to have it, would you willingly give it up? I seriously doubt it.
