My favorite "test" for this proposition is whether Israel allows all its proper citizens to vote and participate in political debate, etc.<br /><br />Well, in my view (yup, the key is "proper") the Palestinians who were (some of them) exiled in 1948 and (all of them) denied permission to return into their homeland by Israeli law (and had their lands seized by the Custodian of Absentee Property, but that is another matter) are "proper" citizens of Israel. <br /><br />If it were otherwise, then the government-in-power of any "democracy" could just deport any inconvenient part of its citizenry and, having completed this deportation, cheerfully go on calling itself a "democracy."pabelmonthttp://123pab.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-86569840387873148232007-07-21T12:32:00.000-07:002007-07-21T12:32:00.000-07:00Anonymous, I looked at Lebel Fein's definition of ...Anonymous, I looked at Lebel Fein's definition of Zionism as a right of return to Zion. I don't buy it at all, for reasons I can't go into now. I will say that the idea that the Jews were expelled or exiled from Palestine in 70 CE. (or 130) is a myth. I will be discussing that myth in a post soon.Jerry Haberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173892714754718716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-43677146397131748302007-07-20T12:49:00.000-07:002007-07-20T12:49:00.000-07:00What do you think of this definition of Zionism?ht...What do you think of this definition of Zionism?<BR/><BR/>http://www.forward.com/articles/define-zionism-as-the-jewish-right-of-return/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-63988345926313863712007-07-08T12:46:00.000-07:002007-07-08T12:46:00.000-07:00I could go anonymous like you my friendI could go anonymous like you my friendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-47239636211028398372007-07-08T11:00:00.000-07:002007-07-08T11:00:00.000-07:00Ged,Thanks for your support!Best,JerryPS.
