GOOD AND EVIL are NOT "RELATIVE" CONCEPTS!  And it is a little
presumptuous to assume that the "Palestinians" will wait for
2000 years.  Actually it is more than presumptuous, it is
IDIOTIC!  Palestinians Arabs have no significant culture which can hold
them together for 2000 years.  Many peoples came and went in those
2000 years, but aside from the dominant culture, ONLY the Jews survived.
And going back some 3500 years, Jewish culture is the only survivor
in the world.  I know that other peoples have been around that long,
but NOT their culture, unchanged.  Yes, it must be viewed with awe
and possibly as a miracle that Jews, with their Torah, survived
h-ll, fire, and high water for thousands of years and nobody, but nobody,
can hold a candle to that fact!
