so... it would have been okay for them to stay in germany or poland and be murdered, huh? besides which, unlike our taking of america from the native americans by slaughtering them, the jews 1. did not take the land from anyone; the british did, and assigned a tiny bit of it to the fleeing jews and a much huger bit of it (jordan, then trans-jordan) to the arabic population that was already being displaced (not by the jews). 2. invited all palestinian residents to remain and be israeli citizens. some did. there are arabs in the knesset. many fled because the surrounding arab nations lied to them and said the jews were planning to kill them all. they fled to jordan, which britain had set aside for them, but the people already in jordan rejected them. so do they blame jordan? no!

do i like israel's current policies? hell no! do i like the united states' current policies? hell no! does this mean i hate the united states and it shouldn't exist? well, NO! so why should i think israel shouldn't exist? it should kick bibi out and work toward a two-state solution, which will be difficult since the palestinian leadership still expresses its desire not only for israel to be destroyed but for jews all over the world to be killed as well. but it's still something toward which to work.
