66. Are these the myths that sustain you?
The religion of a displaced people and a vengeful god that haven't learned anything new in four thousand years.

Laws written by two "empires" contending over tax revenue? And when the "winners" found the income was not worth the expenditure, they turned the country into a Zionist parking lot.

The politics of WW11 victorious powers who were confronted with the aftermath of an horrendous crime which they did little to prevent. So they decide to deposit the evidence in someone elses backyard. A backyard the Zionists "meant to greatly expand" against the clear intentions of the very power under whose aegis the Zionists "immigrated".

An ethnic argument that simple puts the Palestinians in exactly the same position as pre-WW11 Jews. Persecution of Jews replaced by persecution of Arabs! Very "practical" for the Israelis. But very "imperfect" for the Palestinians. Remember them? The people who actually lived there, and who were never consulted at any stage.
