It makes me wonder what anonymous thinks a 'Race' is. It's simply a group of people that have maintained some form of group in-breeding long enough to have a recognizably unique genetic heritage.

It makes me wonder what Anonymous thinks we are taking about what we talk about the Asian 'Race' or the Caucasian 'Race' - Does he think there is anything more there than a convenient grouping of people who's shared phisical characteristics indicate a high probability of shared ancestors?

As to certain rights of ownership of parcels of land accruing to a the 'Race' identified as 'Jewish' based on some oral and textual histories- that's a question that can presumably be debated - I'm certainly not an expert in this area but I know how tenuous history can be. The question would be: 'Is the 'Race' currently identified as Jewish closely related to the group of people resident in ancient Israel?

Assuming this is proven to a high degree of certainly, Another question that arises is: Does having ancestors that lived in an area a long time ago give you (or your group) rights to an area that superceeds those of the later inhabitants?

Though this question is a bit moot at this point since Britain rammed through the creation of Israel, evicting the palestinians, and Israel took over 'protectorate' lands after being attacked. What right do palestinians have to _their_ ancestral lands?

If we attempted to repatriate every displaced group in the history of the world, we'd have endless war that would make the middle east conflicts look like a playfight. At some point we need to lose our historical baggage, forgive the wrongs done to our group by other groups, and carry on in the present attempting to treat all people with equal respect. Attempting to redress a historical wrong generally just creates whole new injustices to carry forward into the future.
