There are a lot of unfounded accusations and statements in this thread, and it seems as if there's not much use in asking for any facts backing up these arguments. I still don't know how it is that anti-Semitism isn't a form of racism, how the right for groups to decide their standards for discrimination works, and what Atzmon has done to be called a Holocaust denier.

You have at least managed to give a pretty convincing account for how you see the Palestinian connection to Palestine. Too bad that it sounds more like a narrative justifying a point of view and that I dismiss the whole idea of peoplehood out of hand in favor of democratic values. At least I know why I disagree with you.

I like to understand the arguments of the other side as much as I like to promote my own, but I feel that it won't happen in this thread.
