Dear Left-Wing Fanatic, The palestinians have always used Israel\'s connection to the Holocaust and their perceived victimhood as a means to justify their own hatred and self-pity, murders and other sickening actions against Jews and others in the region - as well as to themselves. They never cease to regard themselves as the true victims and they\'d rather sit there taking handouts, being the world\'s largest recipients of such handouts, instead of getting up on their feet and take REAL action and start making a LIVING instead of preaching death to their children and the killing of everyone that don\'t agree with their culture of death. I don\'t think I agree with much that you say, if anything, but that doesn\'t mean I wish to kill you. However, where I live, my neighbour will gladly kill me for being what I am and not for what I do or say - and he or she firmly believes that this is God\'s will. How does that make me feel? Well, it doesn\'t make me want to run away if that\'s what you think. I am more certain than ever that this is where I belong and that this is where I will remain. You call it \"an ethnic cleansing of Palestine\". This is the strangest \"ethnic cleansing\" I have ever heard of. From being 700 000 refugees, there are now millions of them. Isn\'t an \"ethnic cleansing\" supposed to have the opposite effect? What happened to the 800 000 Jewish refugees from the Arab countries, that left around that same time? Why are they not encamped in refugee camps, living in poverty and misery, receiving handouts and the world\'s pity? What happened to the Jews\' belongings, their homes, their money? Do you think they were allowed to take it with them when they left the Arab countries? And where do you think they went? Yes, that\'s right, nearly 600 000 of them ended up in Israel. Does Israel have a \"right to exist\"? you ask. This is such a strange question - as if a nation should have to ask for the right to be alive and live in their own country. From what other people do we ask this? There are still nations in the world suffering - the Kurds for instance. They have their own culture, their own lands, their own language. But they don\'t have their own country. What do the Palestinians have? And what have they been offered? And how many times? And how many times have they said no? And started what instead? Who live in the houses the Jews used to live in, in Iraq, in Iran, in Yemen etc? Why don\'t the Jews kill Moslems for their right to return to their former homes? What makes you believe it was the Jews who drove the Arabs away in 1948? At that time everyone living in the British Mandate of Palestine were called \"Palestinians\" and many of them arrived there with their families as the Palestinian Jews arrived in order to make a living as the Palestinian Jews provided work - for everybody, even immigrant Arabs from neighbouring countries. \"Palestine\" was the name the Romans once gave the occupied territory - in order to erase all traces of the Jews. But that doesn\'t mean that the country was empty after
