Penske to try and elevate this discussion. I would like you to answer some questions:
1) The main reason why the UN equated Zionism with racism is that any Jew anywhere in the world can move to Israel and become a citizen. However, any muslim palestinian who lived in Israel proper prior to its creation may not move back to their home. In addition, none of their decendants may either. If this is not a racist (or at least bigoted policy) why not?
2) The West Bank and Gaza are occupied by the Isreal.
(a) What right does Israel have to occupy these territories? (b) Palestinians in the West Bank are taxed by Israel but they have no representation in the Israeli government. Is this not taxation without representation? (c) Do the citizens of West Bank and Gaza have any right to self determination?
3) What gave the Jews in Palestine in 1948 the moral right to create Israel. At the time only fifteen percent of the Jews in Palestine were born in Palestine and the native borns jews in Palestine only represented about three percent of the population of Palestine (Even sixty years later only twenty percent of Isreal's population was born in Israel).
4) Is it possible to not be anti-semetic but anti-zionist?
5) General Marshall (of the Marshall Plan) argued against the US recognition of Isreal because he said the result will be that our only friends in the middle east will be the Jews that immigrate there. Therefore, for US strategic interests this will be a disaster. Why was he wrong?
