re: #473 iossarian

I don’t think anyone disagrees with this. The point was that there can be people who are not Jewish but who think of Israel as “home”.

A lot of the disagreements seem to stem from the mixing of terms “Israeli” and “Jewish” (not helped by the fact that “Israel” is also used to stand for the Jewish people).

I didn’t mean to imply that other people wouldn’t consider it home and I’m not sure who you got that or you’re just goading me.

However, Israel is the Jewish state, whether people are pleased with that or not. It is our homeland, whether people are pleased with that or not.

And who says we’re not sharing the land? Is that what you’re saying or trying to get me to say? Who agreed to the partition in 1947 and who didn’t? Who made war with the Jews? Not the other way around. So why don’t you ask the Arabs in the region the same question and see what their answer is.
