So the Zionist jews deserve their two thousand year old ancestral home; but the Palestinians do not deserve theirs.

Personally I think the idea of people "deserving an ancestral homeland" sounds kind of volkish. --- Michael Hirsch <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:mmh655@gmail.com"><mmh655@gmail.com></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Joanna: What exactly do you support?

If I thought for a moment that a secular bi-or multi-national state were possible in Palestine, I'd jettison any support for a two-state solution. It cannot happen. Not in our lifetimes. The author's airy talk about KKK politics is gallery rhetoric and beside the point. Populations are routinely routed in wars. It's lousy; it must stop. And it's the outcome of military conflict, which must stop. Want to make any peace settlement contingent on the right of return? Want to resettle the Sudeten Germans, too? How about the pro-fascist Crimean Tatars. Or is it just the uprooted and oppressed Palestinians who deserve an ancestral homeland? Chomsky hasn't become a Zionist cats paw and it's a dumb, self-congratulatory if not self-referential argument to say he has. So I ask again, what's to agree with?
