Re: [CTRL] More re Israel/What if.....

-Caveat Lector- I for one always thought that would have been a really good idea.  At that time there would have been no trouble at all.  It would have been right for the reparation money to have gone to the families or descendents of those driven from their homes and businesses.  When last I read about the reparations sent to Israel for those who survived the Holocaust, the money was kept by the state.  The logic of that escapes me.    The story of the impoverished who arrived in New York to live in the tenements, make pickles and encourage their children to succeed in every kind of industry, show business, manufacturing and even crime is matched around this city by the Italians and Polish.  They have the same history of mothers and fathers who did everything in their power to ensure their children could become the doctors, lawyers, business owners and crime bosses that was the culture of their time.    The Palestinians who believe the land of Israel belongs to them mirror the Native Americans who will be first to tell you that Columbus discovered nothing.  Their land had not been lost.  They knew exactly where and what it was.  Like the land of Israel, the land of the new world was distributed by strange rulers to people from another place.  The colonists of the new world took what they wanted and cited the authority of the crowned heads of Europe.  The Indians weren't unhappy, but they were finally outgunned and starved into submission.  The religious leaders told them their worship was wrong, and the new government gave them blankets (the smallpox germs were also free).  The UN wasn't watching, so it was all right.     Those who have power never will share what they have.  There should be room for all, and there could be, but there will never be.   Jesus would not find himself welcome in Israel, and I doubt that the Zionist Christians would be really glad to see him either.  Prudy  www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
