I am going to go back and watch the story again and look at the children center in Jenin, aned write to Mr.Kaitab in care of the center in Jenin. To thank him to pass on a blessing from a greiving Mother, myself. And to apologize to him for the levinson ignorance. How could anyone from The USA Born and Raised or From England be so ignorant! It truly is embarassing!

If Jesus were alive, he would say ISRAEL IS JEWISH LAND.

Jim Donnellan says:

I think your mother got it wrong: Christ said, Render on to Ceasar what is Caesar’s. He never confused spirituality with land or possessions.

And I can’t understand the obsession of you and millions like yourself who question the right of the Jewish state to exist.

Jim Donnellan

The existence of a Jewish state is a fact; what I question is it’s morality. It is behaving badly. It’s intent was always to drive the Arabs out of the land; they are continuing on that path with all due speed. The world condemns the behavior of Israel – both through international organizations, ngo’s, etc. Israel is digging itself into a hole. As this plays out, even AIPAC won’t be able to save it as AIPAC has become morally and intellecually bankrupt and the world now knows it. Israel will lose financial support from the US if it continues to violate basic human rights.

It had a choice during the early days of the Zionists; from the behavior I see, it chose the political path, not the moral one. That was the opinion of Buber, Haam, Magnes et al; I see nothing that suggests otherwise. It has become its worst enemy. No one need say or do anything; it will self-destruct unless it changes course.

Jewish land or Arab land; League of Nations, UN, or whatever: it won’t matter.

And I do not agree that if the Arabs took over Ireland, that all Irish Americans will accept it quietly and shrug their shoulders and just drown it in drink.

Jim Donnellan says:

On this point we agree. I never mentioned anything about Arabs taking over Ireland – I referenced them vacating it.

On the other hand, now that you have suggested it, I quite agree that if the Arabs did try to take over Ireland, the Irish would resist. That is exactly what the Arabs did in Palestine. They saw what was happening and resisted. They have every right to do so. It has always been Israel’s intent to reclaim the biblical Israel – Natanyahu even included TransJorddan at one point. Nothing in its behavior has ever suggested otherwise

It is JEWISH LAND not because of religion but because it’s Jewish land.

Jim Donnellan says:

I can’t agree with this statement; the Arabs certainly don’t agree with it. This is equivalent to saying the land is mine because I say it is mine.

Just for kicks, don’t you think you should provide some proof? Nothing you have offered so far demonstrates that your statement is true.

Making up your own international law now, Mr. Donnellan?

Jim Donnellan says:
Yep.
