What you all think? Have Jews (according to Netenyahu) a God-given right to live anywhere in Jerusalem they want?

And considering they're basing this on the testament of a man who came down a hill saying "God" had spoken to him and on one or two States which were run by Jews some 2500 to 3000 years ago, would this mean Aborigini's should evict Australians and Native Americans should evit the White House?

If scientists ever clone the neanderthal man, should he be given the right to live anywhere in Europe he wants?

I'm glad that I'm not a Palestinian at all.
I'm also glad that I'm not an Israeli.

I think whoever attempts to claim that one side is all right and the other all wrong is blinded by emotional bias.

But I thought that Palastinians thought the same thing only it is the Israelis who are tresspassing?

There aren't any 'God-given rights'. Rights are a human construct. Some would say the same can be said for God.

Calling any side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as 'good', 'bad', 'riht', 'wrong', 'heavenly', 'evil, 'victimizer', 'victimized', etc. is just... well... stupid.

This discussion's off to a lousy start.

To avert the usual catastrophe, I propose a change in direction.

Is Netanyahu the new Nixon?

If an Israeli duly purchases an apartment in East Jerusalem in an arm's length transaction from the owner, why should he not be allowed to live there?

I think anyone should have the right to live anywhere so long as he's doing so within the applicable law.

By the way, Netanyahu is a secular Jew, not a religious one.

The right to life, liberty, and private property.
