Besides i find it suspect that bloodline is what qualifies a people to come in and lay claim to that which was lost by their forefathers. Like if only ethnically Sioux, Lakotha or Kiowa come and say that they own north america. Hey their forefathers OWNED america. doesn't that give them the right?
Still i think the muslims need to move on. International politics moves like this, and now they must make peace. However that doesn't change the fact that the palestinians need to be treated like humans before you can have peace. | Fair enough.
However, comparing the current United States to the middle-East debacle is rather fallacious.
Also, there will NEVER be an end to the "that used to be our land" argument. Some of the Native American Indians that were "run off their land" when the White Man came, had annihilated and run off different tribe shortly before the White man arrived. So WHICH Native American Indians did the land really belong to?
In addition, in real life you cannot simply hit "reset" and start over - especially when dealing with whole nations, races, religions and people groups. Part of the reason is that you will NEVER reach a consensus concerning what "point in history" you revert to.
But you're right - the Muslims need to move on. They need to become peaceful if they're ever to be taken seriously. And the Palestinians need to start behaving as humans before they demand to be treated as humans. Terrorism will NEVER bring peace. Ever. |
