31. But why did "Zion" have to be in Palestine?
Edited on Mon Sep-15-03 09:26 AM by quilp
If, for instance Jews had been offered a "homeland" in Alaska, or some less populated part of Africa, would that not have satisified "Zionists". Or did it have to be Palestine?

It may be true that "anyone who wants the death of Zionism is arguing for the death of Israel". But that is not the same as saying people against the existence of Israel are against a homeland for Jews.

Most of us against the creation of Israel, are really against the destruction of Palestine and the Palestinian people. We would equally outraged if it was the Chinese doing this.
