Why the hell should they give up their ancestral homeland to a bunch of rapacious, greedy Jews who have spent a century trying to rob them? You're a bigoted bitch, Miller, and your "solution" is a Palestinian "final solution."
No. My solution is a Diaspora, as I already stated. You are playing with words when you make reference to a "final solution" that kills no one. I dare say you would not have been born in the U.S., if ancestors did not find it advantageous to come to America. I think that kind of practical thinking would be best for the Palestinians, since regardless of the "cause" (aka, Czarist Russia, then the Holocaust), many Israelis perceive Israel as the end of the road, before the Last Days.
Since the Palestinians have not experienced the rabid hate of Christian Europe, it really would be the most expedient (aka, 21st century) solution to the hostilities. I think more of those of your political opinion need to give credence to the fact that Israelis might be collectively suffering from PTHD (Post Traumatic Holocaust Disorder). And, needless to say, they have modern weapon systems. So, if WWIII starts in Israel, in my opinion, the opinions espoused by the liberal media might have given the enemies of Israel a feeling of confidence. What goes around comes around. And, you do know the story of Masada. The Israelis have been referred to as having a Masada complex. Do you blame them? The Romans at Masada wanted to enslave them; the Czar wanted to convert them; the Nazis wanted to kill them. This history can have its own effect; more I believe than just having the British as one's historical nemesis.
You need not agree with me; however, your commiserating with the Palestinians not having total autonomy in their indigenous land should not ignore that, in my opinion, much of Europe not wanting Jews in their countries. Israel was a solution to intractable European anti-Semitism. Not being religious, in my opinion, does not allow one to ignore the sins of one's people; or, do you not identify with many Europeans, being of Celtic heritage? Well, the Celts came off of the Indian sub-continent 10,000 years ago. They have been Europeans for a long time, and in keeping the lights on for Nazi bombers to find England voted for the Nazis, in my opinion.
In effect, I am saying you come up with no real solutions. Just a lot of criticism,which seems sort of shrill (aka, worthless) on the forum, in my opinion.
