BA> Replying to a message of Bob Klahn to Tom Walker:

 TW>>> There is Really NO SUCH a Thing as a Palestinian. They are
 TW>>> just a collection of other arab countries trouble makers.

 BK>>  The notion that any people would endure 6 decades of such
 BK>>  conditions to make trouble is just a bit absurd. The
 BK>>  Palestinians were there before Israel. And even Jewish writers
 BK>>  mentioned them long before the establishment of Israel.
 BK>>  Relatively few Jews were native to that land before 1947. Lots
 BK>>  of Arabs were.

 BA> And every single Arab there was an invader.  There's a
 BA> reason that one particular nation on the planet is called
 BA> 'Arabia.'  The fact that those Arabs conquered Palestine,
 BA> North Africa, a goodly chunk of southeast Europe and most
 BA> of what is now the Middle East (plus most of Spain) and
 BA> live there now is irrelevant.

 Um... other than Europe, the Middle East was occupied by Arabs
 since... well... Biblical times. That is why both Arabs and Jews
 are considered semites. And the nation called Arabia is Saudi
 Arabia, named after the House of Saud, by the British, not the
 Saudis. The only parts of North Africa I can think of where
 the inhabitants are not called Arabs are Egypt and Iran.
 Egyptians are called just that, and Iranians are called
 Persians. Yet we non-North Africans see no noticable difference
 between them.

 BA> Note also that today there seems to be an Arab invasion of
 BA> Europe in progress. A 'peaceful' invasion, but an invasion
 BA> nevertheless.

 One that could be ended easily, by overthrowing the
 dictatorships that rule most of North Africa.
