Ben re your comment on genealogy, I think you meant to say it the other way round? It is not the Jews but the Arabs who are traditionally descended from Ishmael, son of Abraham & Hagar, the handmaiden of Sarah, and the Jews are from Isaac, son of Abraham & Sarah.

I`m not sure what point you were making in saying most Israeli Jews` blood is "diluted" with that of Europeans etc. But IF your point was that the right to live in a place depends on having non-diluted indigenous blood....well, if you yourself are not a pure-blooded Maori, it seems you`d better get packing!

I believe you`re mistaken about the US constitution. But still, there are moral problems in giving or selling arms that are used against civilians. BTW did you notice the U.S. stopped an arms shipment to Israel during the Gaza attacks? that was a surprise.

BTW How is whats reported in this article "resistance"? Seems more like violent repression of political enemies & starving their families.
