By Paul Katz: Breaking ranks with U.S. Jewish 'establishment' on the occupation
Talkback
Title: Is Katz a dupe for Pal media spin? Name: Joe Sittizen City: Jerusalem State: Israel
Katz tosses around the term "occupation" a lot without questioning where it`s from or what it means. Just who is occupying Judea and Samaria? If he himself recognizes these names, then he obviously recognizes previous Jewish rule over these areas. In which case, if they are Judea and Samaria (as Jews have called them for thousands of years), then the only obvious conclusion is that they have been occupied by somebody else since the wars that threw the Jews out of there two millenia ago. So who is the occupier? The Palestinians who now live on land that was obviously Judea and Samaria? Aren`t they the sqautters and the sons of generations of squatters? Does he support ethnic cleansing of Judea and Samaria so that they are free of Jews? Shovrim Shtika is one narrow view of the situation, as Katz as shown.
