My comment got posted before I was ready, so let me finish up here. The fact is that Palestine is being created on Jewish land, and that Jews are giving it to Arabs calling themselves Palestinians. I am not talking about stealing land from individuals. Certainly Jews dispossessed individual Arabs of land they owned, and Arabs dispossessed Jews of land. (If you added up all the land, and massacres, and dispossessions dating to the Muslim conquest and devastation of the land in the 7th c., the Jews would not come out ahead, and if you object to my going back that far, wherever you slice the history is in support of a political agenda.) Jews dispossessed Arabs of land in Palestine, and there are precedents for compensating refugees. There are also precedents for creating new countries on the bloody soil of the indigenous inhabitants. White Europeans did this in the Americas and Australia, for example. But whatever our treatment of the natives, we don't try to pretend we didn't do it. The Palestinians try to pretend they aren't expropriating Jewish land, and they are willign to fabricate and destroy history to support that claim. I think that is Stalinist. Their state is built on our history, and we should not let them forget that. In that the settlers are insisting on something important. Even if it makes political sense to allow this new state to exists, and to allow it to be Judenrein (and I am willing to concede this, as long as the fence is in place), we should never allow the world to make the claim that this is not historically our land.
