Omar, re who was there first being irrelevant, probably so. However, re Israelis would be happy to go to US, I am very doubtful about this. Palestine is Holy Land to all three salvationist religions. Nothing holy in US for any of them. Re Indians in Milford, that is an excellent point and I am glad you brought it up. The fact is, if the Israelis need to be removed because it's Palestinian land, what about the rest of us? Indians were in Milford, we ought to all give it back and go back where we came from. In the case of US, from everywhere in the world. Israel was created by UN, and the reasons Andreas gave are accurate. I believe they picked that because of Zionism. It was not arbitrarily picked, but it was the only one that was 'legal.' All others are where they are by conquest. Forgive the brief response, I am trying to answer and keep expense down.

The question of who was there first is not necessarily very relevant, and it can\t really be put in these terms given that those who were there are long dead. However, some day check out the story of Abraham in the Bible, the references to the Semitic peoples who were living there etc. > Re which Arabs will be carpet bombed if it comes to > that, I am afraid, literally, that most of the US > population will not much care. *How could they ?
