Also, what you take as a personal attack, I see as a simple fact.

So, why bother really?

On the other hand, I don't give a shit about all this historical justification. Israel is what it is and where it is and that is that. It is a democratic state with many liberal features and I reckon it should defend itself against people like Hamas in whatever way it sees fit. You apparently prefer to support the Palestinians on the basis of their more recent "victimization". Good for you. Have at it.

I say give Kansas back to the Crow, Australia back to the Aborigine, and Thailand back to the Mon. England might best be given to people who differentiate between the Vikings, the Norse and the "French" in celebrating its "diversity". That way we can all have a laugh. A Norman by any other name...
Well there you go Mao. If you got nothing useful to say, why even bother?

This debate has been going on for decades. Even a high-school kid could come up with some form of rebuttal with a little bit of research. I am sure you can do better than the above bit of emotive vitriol.
