So in your mind it’s a minor spat and Palestinians aren’t second class citizens of nowhere right?[/quote]

It is a major conflict that has  great cost to both sides, and the failure to resolve it is due to actions by people on both sides.

But we are not going to solve it hear, and we should not have to solve in order to condemn a US congress member saying (yes, sorry, I do not agree with Jeff's interpretation) hateful things about US citizens.

Jeff this is precisely what my friends tell me happens in the UK - people say over the top hateful things (worse than what Omar said, BTW) and when a Jew complains, the subject is changed to Israel (and often as here, a shallow, one sided approach)

I have news for you. The harassment of Jews in Europe has only accelerated the movement of Jews to Israel.  If its not already happening in the UK, it is likely soon.  And believe me, the people chased out of Europe are not inclined to sympathy for the left when they arrive in Israel. [/quote]

You know that this is not why Jews are leaving Europe, particularly London.  The growing populations of Muslims bothers them.  [/quote]

Uhhhhh, I'm pretty neutral on Israel, but it is not accurate to say that the growing pop of Muslims bothers them. The ones I know who have left don't feel safe/comfortable as a Jew In the UK right now. Fwiw, a couple acquaintances (friends  of friends) who are Jewish and moved to Israel are involved in pretty intensive peace work with Palestinians in Israel.[/quote]
