No, more like a get off our fucking land.
Sure thing, and where you live, exactly who's land was it before you got there?
Well, I take a lot more seriously the claims of a Palestinian orange grower in Jaffa who is farming land that has been in his family for many generations than I do the claim of an Auschwitz survivor from Krakow who claims that YHVH or some other bearded Sky Father gave his lineage the entire land 3000 years ago. What was done to the Jews by Hitler in WWII was horrible. But the solution was not to take ethnic Northern Europeans (much more of their genetic material is Russian, Latvian, Polish, northern European in general, than is Semitic) and resettle them on the lands of people who've actually been living in the area and farming it for at least the past several generations, and probably closer to the past few thousand years. A claim that Yahweh "gave" Palestine to those who have been living in Poland for a thousand years is just pure bullshit. And it wouldn't have happened had the victorious superpowers decided the sand niggers in Palestine could be kicked off their land. (I have no beef with those Jews who peacefully bought land in Palestine prior to this mass resettlement.) Frankly, I've always thought the suitable place for the Allies to have resettled the Jews--to the extent it was our business at all--was Germany itself. Plenty of conquered villages, plenty of seized castles and villas and chalets. And if the Jews thought this was too "icky," to be resettled in the land of their oppression, and insisted instead that the Alllies push the sand niggers out of their orange groves...well, fuck 'em. Given 'em a loaf of bread and wish them good luck and send them on their way. (And let us not forget the actions of the Stern Gang and such in blowing up the King David Hotel.)
