http://pulsemedia. June 5, 2010 Excerpt: Her point regarding "go home" may be too subtle for the collective paranoid psychosis in which many Jews take great pride. Jews do not have a God-given right to take someone's home and call it their own. Two wrongs do not make a right. The right that Jews assert to the deed and title to the land of Palestine exists in their collective imagination and has no basis in international law or any other kind of law except for I me me mine law. I have never seen anyone produce a title search which resulted in a document showing the signature of God. We have only to take the Jews' word for it that their claim is validated by the Bible. Jews thrive almost everywhere in the world except in those places where they have deliberately made themselves anathema – those places that have been bombed into submission by Americans urged on by Israel's supporters in the "global war on terror." Jews can "go home" anywhere in the world, except those places where they have made themselves unwelcome with their own behavior. Jews have the same freedoms and protections as everyone else. They have equal protection under the law uniformly across the West. As for how they are esteemed in the rest of the world, how could anyone legislate that? You really can tell the kind of tree by the fruit it bears. If not for Israel's behavior the world would have forgotten long ago that Jews were ever considered anything other than upstanding citizens and pillars of the communities in which they live. Now, because Israel intentionally and incorrectly conflates Jewish identity with Israel's existence, Israel's brand has become the Jewish brand for many people around the world. How can anyone encounter any Jew without thinking of the horrible scenes coming out of Palestine every day? And it is Palestine no matter what many Jews assert. Renaming a thing does not change the thing itself. Forcing people out of their home through ethnic cleansing and then living there yourself without compensation or recognition of the right to exist of the original inhabitants is a crime against humanity. Helen is absolutely right. Viva Palestine. -- ReportersNotebook memo:
Remember, Apartheid South Africa? Many of us in the left, including myself, would say:"Racist Whites should get out of South Africa, if they are afraid to give the Blacks equal rights." If your ethnie is in power and cannot treat others with equal rights, then your ethnie should move somewhere else! Why should it not apply to the racist Zionist in Israel?--Michael Santomauro
