		<description>To Kateland: You&#039;re right. The only problem, Arab governments are less politicall correct than Israel, and firmly reject assimilation of the Palestinian whom other Arabs hate.</description>

		<description>The only homogeneous identity as a nation or culture Palestinian Arabs possess comes via the conflict with the Israeli state. The conflict defines them as a nation or a people.The mistake was to allow Arafat to control the dialogue and manufacture an identity that does not in fact exist. What is needed is to take control of the language of the dialogue. The first step would be to make it an advantage for the Palestinians to take their rightful place among Arab nations. Pressure should be brought on every Arab country harboring a &quot;Palestinian&quot; refugee camp. At first, it could be by extending citizenship rights to the second, third, fourth generation of the &quot;Palestinian Refugees&quot;. The PLO/Hamas groups will cry foul if it is extended to the first generation from the beginning. Let them keep their first generation. Then work towards ending education and professional discrimination towards &quot;Palestinians&quot; within Arab governments. Recruiting and mobilizing NGO&#039;s (specifically non-Jewish ones) to pressure Arab governments into granting citizenship to those born on their soil. This is where Christian evangelicals could play an extremely important role.It should be a priority for Israeli governments to demand resistution on the behalf of their Jews citizens that were expelled from the various Arab governments.I could go on, but basically, its time to go on the offensive, and take control of the conflict rather than continuing to let others direct and/or control it. Furthermore, one day everyone will have to wake up and be realistic. Its been over 50 years, there is no accommodation that can be made with the Palestinians which will satisfy them other than the destruction of the Jewish state. If the Jewish state refuses to commit hari kari, then the Arabs must go. The longer that day is put off, the more people on both sides of the conflict will bleed.</description>

		<description>To Jolly Roger: The Temple Judaism was centralized specifically to do away with superstitions, fear of demons, and hillside sacrifices. Some degree of organization benefits the religion. As for the current rabbinical establishment, Shoher is very critical of them.</description>

		<description>But do you think that Muslims agree to that view? If not, what&#039;s the point of using it as an argument? What you say is a reason for Jews to fight for the land, but no reason for Muslims to surrender it.</description>
