Yeah, but there have been Jews in that area since before recorded history and they made up a very large proportion of the population before the Israeli War of Independence. And it is simply inconceivable that Americans, at least, would decide that the solution to the problem was genocide - while it is quite clear that the Palestinian groups - the PLO very much included - wish to finish what Hitler started. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
