I guess the real reason we don't complain about the Palestinian issue is

that we did this to the Native Americans.

It still stinks!

"Several Jewish organisations such as the Department of Aliya (Immigration) and Absorption for the Jewish Agency, and Nefesh B'Nefesh - Jewish Souls United - are working to facilitate the immigration of Jews from North America to Israel.

While Nefesh B'Nefesh focuses on assimilating North American Jews into Israeli society, the Jewish Agency is an international network that seeks, promotes and funds Jewish emigration from such countries as France, Yemen and Ethiopia.

According to estimates from Nefesh B'Nefesh, more than 1500 US and Canadian Jews are to re-settle in Israel.

However, Palestinian officials are concerned that an increase in the influx of Jewish immigrants means new illegal settlements will be built on occupied Palestinian land."

then I will start campaigning to get him to change his policy.

Complaining now to BushCo is just about effective as spitting into the wind.

2. Also, the Tribe is Divided

you start a civil war by mentioning it. People tend not to want to start arguments with their teammates. That's why there's a special ghetto at DU for these discussions.

Not that that's wrong -- I don't know what it will take to change the discussion.
