would the fact that you're helping to perpetuate this thread be proof enough? I tease. I tease. Nobody is disputing that Jews have had it bad, as have many (most) peoples - some worse than others. To answer Judah's questions:
"As for a homeland for all, where does it end?" It doesn't. "How many Arab countries are there and how many Jewish ones?" 26 - 1. "How many times does India have to be divided up for another new Muslim country?" 3. "Does every group in Europe deserve their own sub-country?" Yes, except for the French. "Should Denmark be divided?" Definitely. "Where does it end and for that matter, where does it start?" It never ends, and it began long before recorded history. :) Simon Horwith Adobe Community Expert Adobe Certified Master Instructor http://www.horwith.com Michael Dinowitz wrote: > On 9/17/07, Judah McAuley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Michael Dinowitz wrote: >> >>> Yes, it is silly.
