Her exact words were "*my* preferable solution is transferring all Palestinians that does not want to be full Israeli citizens to nearby Arab countries". The use of the word "transferring" implies that the Palestinians will be moved to other countries whether they like it or not -- in other words, they are not going voluntarily. There is only word for such a forced move of a group of people, and that is the word "deportation". > You know, that thing everyone else in the world does to you.

I compared it to what the Nazis did because (1) the action is the same (deportation of a group of unwanted people) and (2) if there is one group of people I would not expect to suggest such an act is the group of people who suffered the same fate in the past. So, what is the difference between the deportation of Jews by the Nazis and the deportation of Palestinians by the Israelis? > (When did the Nazi's *ever* offer the Jews a choice between full > citizenship and emigration? Emigration is typically something people *choose* to do. I have never heard of anyone choosing to be *deported*.
