The problem is that even John Aziz is not Palestinain. It's an invented political movement which by definition was created so that Islam and the Arabs have an excuse for war. When the idea Palestine ceases to exist, and when the Arabs who call themselves "Palestinain" are absorbed into the Arab world, there will be no more conflict.

Being that Arabic is spoken in 24 Arab countries and the origin of many names of Arabs who were in Palestine before it was officially Jewish Israel are outside of that land I dispute the orientation of permanent Palestinian, American Jews in exile were not Israelites forever aggrieved at the Turks identifying as diaspora Israelites rather they integrated into their countries being that those countries welcome them as citizens and as Jews.

The countrys they dwell in invited them in to become Koreans or British in the same way that a Jew immigrating there would become a Korean or British.

I'm John I'm British my parents came from somewhere else and end of subject yet it's perpetually convenient and makes a handy pivot point in multiple conversations as the last 70 years have shown to ongoingly disrupt Jewish claims to a land that is distinctly Jewish and now Israel.

And to think of what the legacy of the Palestinians in other countries have done it wouldn't be something I'd want to brag about

Lebanon was the only Christian-majority nation in the Middle East.

It's where I was born.

We prided ourselves on inclusivity. Always welcoming Arab Muslim refugees from all over the Middle East.

We had the best economy despite having no natural oil. The best universities.

They called Beirut the "Paris of the Middle East" and the Mountains of Lebanon was a tourist destination.

My early childhood was idyllic, my father was a prosperous businessman in town and my mother was at home with me, an only child.

Slowly, the Arab Muslims began to become the majority in Lebanon and our rights began to wither away.

Soon, we would find ourselves unable to leave our small Christian town without fear of being stopped and killed by Arabs. In Lebanon your religion is on your government issued ID.

As the war intensified and the radical Islamists made their way south, my home was hit by an errant rocket and my life was forever changed.

We spent the next almost decade in a bomb shelter, scraping together pennies and eating dandelions and roots just to survive.

If it was not for Israel coming in and surrounding our town, I do not know If I would be here today.

Lebanon is now a country 100% controlled and run by Hezbollah. I lost my country of birth.

I thank God every single day I was able to immigrate to America and live out the dream that BILLIONS of people only dream of having.

Now here in America, my adopted country that I have come to love so much, I see the same threats and warning signs happening now that took place in Lebanon when I was a child.

This is my warning to you, America, reverse course now while you still can.

It's not too late to save our freedom and preserve it for the next generation.

I get these as you send them out but my operating system has been messed up and I hadn't figured out how to comment.

I have now figured it out.

Today's essay is really good and I am glad that I read it.

And your comment is exactly the reason why Jews don’t trust Palestinian Arabs and the reason why there can never be a two state solution.
