If you think it's simply "relocating" Arabs, than you have no idea what you are talking about, first off. Secondly, just because there were Jews persecuted by Germans does not mean they are suddenly entitled to a greater right than the Arabs to go and steal the land. I'm sorry, but your wrong on so many levels.
I agree with your objections. It's true, Israel has been very aggressive. But what should be done about it? Wipe Israel off the face of the map? Because that's an anti-Zionist. A racist bigot who believes the Jewish people have no rightful place of their own.
I like smok3y1's general notion: the taker should give back in some way. Perhaps Israel should begin to consider trying to take restitution, rather then retribution, with it's neighbors.
But as the video pointed out, the Jews are very angry after thousands of years of persecution, holocaust after holocaust, including now, and many of the children of Israel have become arrogant. Their actions are like frustrated children who have finally gained strength and are now lashing out with all their force in a futile effort to get their way, unaware of the consequences of their actions.
[/B]In order to be a pro-democracy American, I can't agree with you at all. One of the core foundations of the American way is freedom of religion. Therefore, never ever ever will I promote religious or ethnic persecution or segregation of any kind. Do you not realize that this is what you promote?
What's really pathetic is people who are pro-Zionist refuse to accept the fact that Israel is essentially committing genocide.

Pathetic.
Liar. What have I been promoting?
It's easy to lump me into the rest just because I object to fallacious remarks on news snippets from buzz word using politicos to determine "how we should think about the Jew problem."
It's also easy to throw words around like they don't mean anything. But as Hitler proves in history, words have meaning, and we would should take care to make honest criticisms if we wish to achieve honest results.
Actually, I agree here. You fail to realize that being American is not exclusive to the United States. You can be anti-United States of America and still not hate Americans. I have empathy for a lot of people around the world who hate the US government, and I do not feel as though they have that same hatred for me.
That's easy for you to say, but is your family tree measured by empty gaps? Are you frequently reminded how many times your people have been singled out and persecuted by the same slanderous insults believed to be truth for hundreds and thousands of years?
History tells very important lessons and they are difficult to forget. They're the same rules every other sovereign nation follows.
Perhaps this modern era is different, the American dream is quite unique, as you say... but a lot of Jews truly believe the only way to ensure the survival of their peoples is to maintain a permanent home.
But if you think you won't be singled out and persecuted in some parts of this world just because you're an American you're the one who is failing to realize something.
