I was addressing your post. The "poor Israel is being driven into the sea" is etched into your brain chemistry, and no amount of truth, fact or reality will dislodge that. I know it.

Same as GWB being a liar. Nothing, no facts, no reality, no truth will dislodge that. Everyone in the world, including the US, has trouble with his credibility,and therefore with America's credibility, and you do not think he's lied, even once. "Show me where he's lied", you cry, "The Washington Post and New York Times would be all over it."

He has, they have, and it landed in your blind spot.

Our discussions mainly let others see two opposing points of view - mine and, sometimes yours, sometimes Andrew Sullivans as they are filtered through you.

I can accept that, and your reasoning, which is novel. Hell, there may be more Native Americans of some tribes today than there were 200 years ago. Therefore, there was no ethnic cleansing. Proof. Positive.

And since they may have increased in number, they must have been HAPPY moving onto those reservations, which in some circumstances would be considered PRIME property. After all, on some of them you can raise 100 cows per square mile. Can't do that in the city!! Try raising even one cow per square mile in the city!!

Patent that logic, and you can sell it at Republican gatherings all over the country.
