But I didn't say "THE Jews" (the implication being that *all* Jews either
condoned and/or engaged in those actions), I said 'Jews'. And call them
what you will, Zionists, or brutal uncaring bastards, or little green men
from Mars... they were Jews, period!
>Me, my mother, and my grandmother are "Jews"-- we didn't expell anyone.
But folks like you DID exercise their right of 'return'... to a place
they'd never been... to steal the land and homes of others.

"refuseniks" as they refuse to show up to mandatory military service in the
Israeli army-- they >do not want a hand in the killing of innocent

And believe me, David, I deeply respect and honor those Jews and
refuseniks, and many others, who reject and condemn Israel's actions.
