I am simply tired of reading slanted rhetoric. No matter how many times you try to silence it. Stolen is stolen.

If one looks at the plight of the Palestinian and the displaced refugees and all the disenfranchised Arabic people who have no control over property that they rightfully owned, you can see that the U.S. backing Israel after it has stolen additional lands from it's neighbors is wrong.

Let me paraphrase it this way.

If I stole a painting from a Jewish man during World War II and his descendent's could prove that my ownership of that painting was illegal; The return of the stolen painting would be a no-brainer.

but if...

I was an owner of property in Palestine and after 1948, Israel decide to steal it. Who would return it to me? Certainly,Israel has yet to return the property it stole after '48, but since the U.S. uses it's influence with Israel to control the Middle East, It turns a blind eye to the continual injustices of Israel and changes the subject.

When Israel returns all the stolen property and pays restitution to all it has harmed, perhaps then the Palestinians will be Free to live in peace. But remember, peace is not peace if the Israeli army is occupying your town....
