Argh. Sorry for the blank post.
I have a very stupid question.
Why could they not establish Israel between Germany and Poland, taking land away from the former concentration camps and surrounding areasand just be a European state which they pretend to be anyway (like in music competitions)? Yes, yes, the Bible. specifically the old testament.
But a lot of it is just made up and it should have been obvious, especially to the enlightenment thinkers and to so many Jews, who are extremely intelligent people as a rule.
It would have been the easiest solution for everybody concerned.
I know Jews had been returning to the so-called homeland since way before in the 19th and early 20th century. But nobody liked them there, not the British, not the Palestinians. Whereas Germany and Poland, grudgingly or not, could have been made to pay for their sins that Palestinians are now paying for.
My ancestors migrated from one specific town in Tajikistan 5000 years ago. Am I entitled to claim that town as my birthright now? What makes the Jews entitled to the land that is Israel now, when they have not lived there for almost 2000 years?
