Since the land you are now living on was probably conquered from American Indians, now you feel yourself to have gotten as much you has been taken from you. Right?

A large proportion of Jews in Israel came from someplace else in the Middle East where their house and land was taken over. To paraphrase Peggy Noonan, everyone's been shot -- get over it. P.S. I not conceeding that the Israeli's took this poster's family's land. In most cases, the "taken" land was abandoned and/or was land no one had clear title to. However, if it was among the small portion (mostly right near the country's main airport) truly taken by Jewish conquest, this hardly confers a right for people in later generations to get it back. By that logic, no one on earth has clear title to anything.
