That's because you assume that if the P's took back
what was stolen from them, they'd treat the J the way
the J's treated them, a point on which one would like
to hear a bit more outrage. But in fact the evidence
of South AFrica and other white setler states where
majority rule was restored is quite otherwise.
(Leaving Mygabe's recent repressiveness and
racebaiting aside.) I happen to support a 2 state
solution. But I regard the old PLO demand fora 
secular socialist unified Palestine to be an ideal,
and that would mean precisely that "from the River to
the Sea, Palestine Will be Free." The P's aren't
brutes or vengeance mad-animals. The Js are not
innocent civilized victims. Lets look at our
assumptions, please! jks
