Superchunk is full of it.  His position is that the jews don't have a homeland, or if they do that it is probably not in the middle east.... 

 

Whatever. 

 

The jews and palestenians have been fighting for land for as long as we've had these two groups.  The palestenians were referred to as the "phillistines" back in the days of the bible which mentions that they were always fighting and even back then already had a very long history of conflict over land.

LOL you have no clue about history of the region what so ever or my opinion on area.

1. I never said Israel should removed. I always maintained the opposite.

2. The 'phillistines' were the people living is Gaza area and were NOT semetic (both Jews and Arabs are semetic). Historians agree that they were of mediterainian decent, probably Greek etc.

3. For hundreds of years, Jews and non-Catholic Christians lived in peace in the Muslim-Arab world as Islam during that time frame was very tolerant of other religions and allowed them to live on the rules of their faith and not Islamic rules. So long as they didn't attack Islam, Islam didn't attack them. In fact, the time frame of the greatest Jewish philosophy and growth was during Muslim held Spain, then much later in the US, etc.

but you're not directly refuting that the idea that the homeland of the jews is not in the middle east, a place that they have the right to set up according to how they want to run things.             

 

So, is should the jews have a homeland or not?  I'm not talking about pragmatic matters, but what would be the rightful thing?
