This would be a reversal of the 1948 situation in which the Jews in |Palestine took control of the land and its (mostly Muslim) inhabitants. The borders of the Jewish state as drawn by the U.N. included the areas which contained mostly Jews, that's what the surveys and the numerous commitees where after when they visited here. |However, whoever committed crimes against humanity (torture, blowing up their |homes, murders,...) must be treated and tried as a war criminal. The political |thought of these movements shows that a freedom of choice will be given to the |Jews in living under the new law or leaving to the destintion of their choice. I never touched an Arab during my army service and never voted for anyone more right than the Green party. Will I be spared by these "humanist standards"? (or will anyone stop to consider this before sloughtering me?) I doubt it. And not only because of the past record of murdering helpless women and children since the turn of the century up to these days. -- --Amos Shapira (Jumper Extraordinaire) | "It is true that power corrupts, C.S.
