I haven't any problem living here . This country is HISTORICALLY mine . You say it was given to the Jewish people by god , i say it was conquered after the Jewish people recovered his freedom from slavery . Then Jews built it and made Yeroushlaim their capital . Jews built this country , beginning thousands years ago , and then again in the 19th century . A COUNTRY BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BUILD IT [ even with the "locals" as workers ] WHO DEVELOP IT What did the other peoples who lived here contribute to the developpement of this region ? Had they once a independent country here ? It was only independent unther Jews , thereafter it was only unther strang rule and occupation Coming to the modern times . What did the "palestinians" build here ? Did they have something as a governement ? did they have health care organisations of their own ? Did they have a workers union ? The only thing they had was a arab anti jewish organisation unther the leadership of this Husseini [ a Hitler adept ] So this are some of the reasons a secular lives here , without any problem regarding ownership

Acco, Jaffa, The Triangle, Abu Gosh, to name but a few. I cannot see how we look good if we follow your line. It was pretty much covered in the Movie Exodus , by Akiva (Stern gang leader in prison) saying to his nephew Ari (more moderate Hagana) that we the Jews have suffered enough, it was now someone else turn .

What with Acco , Jaffa ? Abu Gosh is an Israeli Arab village , who enjoy to be here , to live in Israel , and to produce an annual festival . They also enjoy a great popularity on Shabbat , when Israelis come to have a fine meal there and to make some shopping . I'm not sure , but i think that they are Catholics . With this all their life standard is not that of a "suffering" people Regarding the remark made by this Stern gang leader , he was wrong . They have not to suffer , and the Israeli Arabs enjoy a far much better life than their brethren . You have to know that in every country there are less developped regions that are poorer , less educated . Look only at the southern part of Italy , and there they are all Catholic Italians . Look at the suburbs of most , if not all , the great European town . Look also at the suburbs of your town . Have they all the same living standards as others ?
94. Charles - A couple of points we can for sure agree

on. 1. Not only do they have a better standard of living. 2. They have the freedom. The right to complain and remain healthy is not so good on the other side of the fence.

I'm right to live here as a secular ! i do not nead religious justifications , i have much better reasons . Give me your answer , or can't you say to someone that he is right ? You never answer directly , only ....points we can for sure agree . Of course , those points i can only agree with . You spoke about some places , well i ask you , what is wrong with them ? Is this your religious education that makes you avoid direct responses ?
