It's about whether your returning to Germany could be considered colonization.

Yes, I get that. Both Jews and Palestinians are indigenous to that area. Neither are "colonizing", but both -at different times- have pushed the others out.

Just as I could make a claim that my ancestors were indigenous to Germany (or Wales, or Scotland, or a few others...several hyphens). Does that mean I have a right to return? That was my point. The present masters in Germany would have that say-so.

So, again, the only difference I see is a religious tome. You and I can both prove ancestry from those regions (simply a matter of how far back we have to go). I have no tome that declares I have a right of return. The Jews do (conveniently a Jewish tome).

In my view, I have no claim to be able to return to Germany. I was born her. My parents were born here. My connections to Germany are several generations back.

Again, just playing Devil's Advocate. I don't have a dog in this fight, and will almost always come down in favor of innocent civilians (Jewish, Palestinian, Navajo, or whomever). Though I do recognize the check on Iranian hegemony in the region, but it's difficult to use that as a justification for killing thousands of non-combatants if we aren't in a "total war" (like WWII).
