So? Doesn't change the property relations.Delve a bit. Palestine was not a country,
They were 8% of the population of Israel in 1918.and the Jews had been busy buying up much of the land for a very long time.
:yawn:You should also study up on the quaint fact that Islam not only encourages but demands violent conquest, and how much of the Islamic world was converted by force. In other words, they are hardly ion a position to complain about the Israelis acquiring land in a similar fashion, which they have only partly done.
I'm a conservative, I have respect for the ancient culture and traditions of other nations and societies.
This happened within living memory, it is very different. We are not talking about ancient wrongs but something that happened 60-80 years ago. Shall we just abandon the notion of private property because the land may once been stolen? That is an argument with a gulag for a second.Also almost every nation in the world today was founded by conquest. I seem to remember that there is a large island nation off the west coast of Europe with a history of successive waves of conquests and land-grabs in its history. Yet I do not believe that there is a serious case being made to return all of that pillaged real estate to the Celts.
And you look foolish for it.What do you mean I can't? I just did!
