re: #170 Buck

Maybe you should try just a little to help me.

Happy to help.

You are saying that Jewish immigration to the land returned to them in 1920 impeded freedom for the Arab Palestinians. I cannot see how. No other Arab in the region has any freedom (unless we define freedom differently) even 90 years later. There are a million Arabs who are citizens of Israel. They have the same freedoms as any other citizen of Israel.

There have been Jews on that land continuously for more than three thousand years. Despite that knowledge you say that Jewish immigration is an impediment to Palestinian freedom.

The right to self determination is at the heart of freedom. The fact that Arab Israelis enjoy greater rights than any other arabs in the region is not lost on me.It does not however make them free, and most certainly it does not make those in the territories free.

I say that the freedom the Arab Palestinian has COMES from the Jews.

Well that is just great. I am sure that all those freedom loving Palestinians will feel much better about their situation now that there are Jews in the Diaspora that have declared them FREE, and that take credit for that FREEDOM.
