-> Hi, FRANK SCHEIDT! How are you?   
   -> on Monday, 05 of March, I read your message to ALEXANDER KORYAGIN   
   -> about "Re: Writing about the first amendment"   
   ->    
   ->  FS>>>>> (Ask the American Indians about their history.) Since Israel   
   ->  FS>>>>> has now occupied that land for six decades, they now have as   
   ->  FS>>>>> much right to it as do the Palestinians.   
   ->  ak>>>> The core of the problem is that Palestinians is not a small   
   ->  ak>>>> ethnic group whose rights can be violated with impunity. All   
   ->  ak>>>> the Arabs actually is one nation, with one language   
   ->    
   ->  FS>>> Actually the Arabian nations not only have more than one dialect   
   ->  FS>>> of Arabic, some cannot even understand the other. Example,   
   ->  FS>>> Egyptian Arabic is said to be completely unintelligible to Iraqi   
   ->  FS>>> Arabic speakers. And Iran, of course, isn't even an Arabian   
   ->  FS>>> nation; they speak Farsi. However, they all hate Israel with   
   ->  FS>>> about the same intensity.   
   ->    
   ->  ak>> Well, probably Israelis would understand Palestinians better if   
   ->  ak>> they had put themselves in their boots after the WW2. What had   
   ->  ak>> happened then?   
   ->    
   ->  FS> True enough -- but equally true for all nations, if they would put   
   ->  FS> themselves in the shoes of other nations.   
   ->    
   -> If Jews had wanted to built a Jewish religious state in an inhabitable   
   -> area it would probably have been all right. No local people, no   
   -> problem. There would not have been any racial and religious issues and   
   -> violations. But millions of Arabs had already lived at that land and   
   -> they had been guilty of nothing. Did Jews have right to built a state   
   -> for Jews? They could make a democratic state for all the people living   
   -> there. In all the civilized countries religion is separated from state,   
   -> and it helps solve a big host of problems.   
      
   And where would you have the Jews go to find an "inhabitable" area with no   
   people already living there -- Antarctica??
