(2,707 posts)for some time (and prob still do), a lot goes to Turkey (who never has done well by the Kurds).
And don't you ever compare the Eastern European pogroms (which involved mass murders) to a population exchange (the "Nakba). There are a lot of them in history, like India and Pakistan (and the US has consistently had good monetary/trade relations with both of them). You forgot the Jews who left Arab countries after REAL pograms in the late '40s.
Also, why do so many Europeans, whose governments don't have the kind of relationship America does with Israel, single Israel out? The "because America supports it" is just a smokescreen, or else Euro hatred of Israel wouldn't be nearly as strong; ditto non-Euro commies like Castro/Chavez.
Anti-Semitic card? Sorry, but the Jews have achieved and contributed to America since Haym Solomon's time during the revolution which made our country (assuming you're American) possible. The Jews (in America and Israel) have had scientific, culture, government, and business achievements, which most people would admire, unless of course you just hate capitalism so much. The Palestinians (and the Muslim world for the last 800 years), not so much. The Jews win. Jews have been loyal to the progressive and Democratic causes, as well as patriotic national ones too; people like you oughta be ashamed for taking them for granted.
