Well John, I think you missed the point. But I agree with what you 
say. The land of Israel was once the land of Canaanites and 
Phoenicians and this is stated in the Bible and shown by 
archeologocal evidence. But if you were a group that was chased out 
of every country on the planet and you had no place to go, where 
would you turn? The idea was to create a safe haven for the Jews, not 
to create a centre for some Zionist Empire. Before 1960, no-one ever 
even heard of a Palestinian, (actually Jews were called Palestinians! 
and everyone else was an Arab.)Who knew that those Arabs would be so 
attached to their lands, especially after the British government had 
given them Jordan. None of this could have been predicted at the 
time. I must admit there was much wrong doing on the part of Israel 
that has perpetuated all these problems we have today, and a lot of 
politics is played around the Palestinian issue that I find quite 
distasteful. But Arabs and Jews are brothers, both in the Biblical 
sense and in genetics and I certainly hope for a re-conciliation. 
Perhaps one day we will have no countries or religions to separate us 
from the one human race. That is my sincere wish.
