Here would well apply the passage from Judges 9:2: What is better for you, that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubaal, should rule over you, or that one man should be your master?
Great posting, Tolik, thanks, it gave me a good chuckle! Thanks for the ping, IAF!
Also,
The Romans (Italy) were those who named the land of Israel as Palestine when it was under their occupation. So this is just another name to the land of Israel as same as the old name Zion.
"The other claim by the anti-Zionists is that Jews have no rights to the lands of Israel (historic Palestine) because they moved there from some other places."
Weren't the Jewish people forced out of Judea at some point in history? And didn't their descendents return to the homeland to flee persecutions and pogroms in Europe and Russia?

This is excellent!!!
Steven Plaut is great!
But that is just a beginning. The Spanish will be called upon to leave the Iberian peninsula that they wrongfully occupy, and return it to the Celtiberians. Similarly the Portuguese occupiers will leave their lands and return them to the Lusitanians. The Magyars will go back where they came from and leave Hungary to its true owners. The Australians and New Zealanders obviously will have to end their occupations of lands that do not belong to them. The Thais will leave Thailand. The Bulgarians will return to their Volga homeland and abandon occupied Bulgaria. Anyone speaking Spanish will be expected to end his or her forced occupation of Latin America. It goes without saying that the French will lose almost all their lands to their rightful owners. The Turks will go back to Mongolia and leave Anatolia altogether, returning it to the Greeks. The Germans will go back to Gotland. The Italians will return the boot to the Etruscans and Greeks.
This is the best puncturing of the Leftist/"Palaeo" myth of "indigenousness"/"autochthony" I have ever read! Only 'Adam HaRi'shon ever sprung from the soil and everyone is an "invader"/"occupier" from somewhere else!!!
Sure this article wasn't written by Straw Man?
?
The straw-man rhetorical technique (sometimes called straw person) is the practice of refuting weaker arguments than one's opponents actually offer.
BTTT
Hawaiians must immediately start building kontiki rafts and study the Pacific's currents, because they have to set sail for their original South Pacific islands.
Bump for later read. :)
I LIKE this explanation...Logical, simple!
