jt, why do you you love a country that is based on zionism, ie. jewish national state, ie. religious dominance by jews over people of other religions. forexample: the Jewish National Fund is the largest land holder in israel. its statutes explicitly PROHIBIT the sale or rental of land to non-Jews. also, UN resolution 194 reaffirmed the right of return to refugeed palestinians back to their land and homes that israel stole at gunpoint in 1948, and killing many. it has been repassed 28 times since. but israel just refuses, hiding behind the powerfull support of the US government. do you love israel more than international law and human rights ? sorry to sound patronising and/or overly dramatic. but clearly one of us is profoundly wrong about a very important issue. indeed, it could be me, but at least i can say that i have familiarized myself with the studies, empirical data, findings and conclusions of the most highly accreditted and relevant institutions. have you ?
