How about you try replying to my previous responce to you from the last time you took issue with my position instead of trolling out your same ignorant argument again:

I didn't say anything about beads, and what the hell do you mean by "jew gold"? I'm not joking though, you can't rightly coexist with people as you are running them off their land, be it in the Middle East or in the Americas. Besides, many British considered the colonization of the Americas as them founding "New Israel" and justified their conquests over the Natives with biblical quotes referring to Canaanites. Here is a bit of a summery on the subject which might help put the comparison in perspective, "
Native Americans and John Wesley".
What am I responding to? You are still clearly trying to link the British treatment of Native Americans with Israeli treatment of Palestinians.
The British, the Spanish, all the colonizers hoodwinked Native Americans by buying their land for trinkets and shiny bits of gold. Native Americans didn't understand the value of 'land', because no one 'owned' land back then. They also butchered them by the tens of thousands just because they were in their way.
Jews and future Israelis bought land legally from the Arabs. They came in droves and bought more and more land the Arabs were more than happy to sell. Pretty soon, there were a very large number of Jews living legally in the land we like to call Palestine, even though it was never officially a state. The Arabs even imposed a quota as to how many Jews could enter, because understandably they didn't want there to be enough Jews in the same place to take power. No Arabs or Jews were slaughtered by the tens of thousands, no Arabs were hoodwinked by those tricky Jews.
It is intellectually insulting for you to even TRY to make a comparison of 1500 and 1600 and 1800s America to Israel. Like I said, go away and come back when you have a clue as to what you are speaking of.
