Before you go and say that I'm anti-jewish because of my remarks, let
me say I'm pro Jewish and pro-palestinian. Unfortunately people
really want to be just one or the other.
The Palestinians are Second Class citizens in the land that they have
lived in for centuries. Their grandparents and great grandparents
were there long before many of the Jewish peoples that now call it
their homeland ever left Eastern Europe.
Making arguments that support the Palastinians, in part, do not
constitute Anti-Semitic remarks. Neither side wears a white hat in
this conflict. Both have reasons to be angry with the other.
