But Israel is there...as Pakistan is where it is, Britain is where it is, Russia is where it is, Israel is where it is. Revanchism is a dead-end street. We need to deal with reality as it is now.
But there is unfinished business. The people who were robbed in making Israel -- the Palestinians -- still haven't been given closure. Israel could well have existed by importing Jews, but merely importing Jews was not enough. The ideology of Zionism demanded that non-Jews be evicted in order to make Israel a Jewish-majority state, and that same ideology demands that Palestinians be denied proper restitution.
So where does that leave us?
Do we turn a blind eye to the Palestinians' suffering and silently hope that they die off like countless other peoples everywhere?
Do we take a moral stand?
Do we educate the Israelis about their full history?
Will Israelis of conscience be like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas?
If I talked to an Indian....I'm sure he would tell me you Muslims in the area were invaders....since Islam originated in Arabia...he would be right .
He would be wrong. We are talking here about genetics, not belief systems.
The religion of Islam may be a foreign concept, but no Indian can deny that the people of Pakistan are indigenous, or at least as indigenous as the Indians themselves.
