[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2747330, member: 25419"] You sir, have enlightened me more than you realize. Your knowledge of historical facts, once again, shows the level of your education. I suppose my guilt over white privilege has led me to be easily influenced regarding the seizure of land from "nomadic" people. (I foolishly believed that not all Indians were nomadic) Thank you for bringing up Elizabeth Warren. I hadn't brought her into the conversation, yet you, in all your wisdom, injected her, right where she was needed most! Anti -semitic bigot, you say? Well, I have to disagree there, you see. Perhaps a quick study of the word "semite" might show you that to be truly anti-semitic, I would have to have disdain for Palestinians, as well as historically Jewish inhabitants of that area. I say "historically", because a majority of the current occupiers are actually genetically central Asians, and not descendants of Shem (hence, anti-semitism would not technically apply here). I do understand that you have a much better understanding of the situation, and I really appreciate your explanation of the history of the region. It does seem to me that about 750,000-800,000 folks were living in the area now know as Israel, my confused view on that was they worked there, owned land, built and held title to houses, the whole nine yards. I even (mistakenly, mind you) thought that the Balfour Declaration (the "legal" document that kicked off Jewish migration to Palestine, circa 1921), and agreements surrounding the move specifically stated that the current occupants (Palestinians) would retain their property. Now the bit about the Haitian transvestite - that is subject matter that I had no misconceptions about, and actually had never given the matter a moment of thought. Are you as well-schooled in transvestites as you are in these other subjects? Perhaps some personal experiences you'd like to relate? [/QUOTE]
