Re: What About Israel Murdering The Wrong Guys?
"Even if you are right that Zionism was a response only to European oppression of the Jews, it DESERVED to be a response to Arab oppression of the Jews as well."
Zionists have forfeited a gunpoint the lives and property of millions of Palestinians for more than 50 years. You contend that this was and remains justified because, among other reasons, Jews "under the Arabs" suffered persecution. You must also mean Jews "under the Arabs" in countries other than Palestine because Jews had not been "under the Arabs" in Palestine for 500 years before Israel's existence, and were "under the British" for the two generations prior to independence.
On the basis of your status as an American, which rights, if any, should you be compelled to forfeit at gunpoint to some group on the grounds that Americans oppressed that group? Which rights should Israelis forfeit on similar grounds? Or does your rule of rights forfeiture only apply to Arabs?
