I'm not were sure that the Jews who were with John Brown viewed their actions as post-holocaust Jews view the same actions. Then again, maybe John Brown's Jews were just radicals who were thrown out of Europe in the 1840s and are very similar to many modern radicals?

As for John Brown, he was a certifiable lunatic, not a freedom fighter. When I was in grade school, the (NYC-published) textbooks were just beginning the process of turning Brown into a heroic "freedom fighter". Now kids get to have Nat Turner handed to them as a brave, bold "freedom fighter" instead of the savage borderline-retarded baby murderer he actually was.

If your Realist imposed a "solution" on the South (not long before he imposed Sherman's absolute devastation), then why was his "solution" confined to Southern states only- and not to Union-controlled and border states? Mr. Realist was a consummate political animal, but he was no "freedom fighter", unless your definition of the term includes the practice of loading up hundreds of thousands of people on barges and floating them to Liberia.

These 1960's "freedom fighters" were, once again, radicals and communists whose main goal was to disrupt traditional Southern society. The welfare of blacks in the South was a peripheral concern to them at best. Now their generation has grown up to become the Bernanke's and the Abramoff's and the Feith's of our time. Great deal for the rest of us,huh; that tide that's somehow turned.

"But once I started looking at the evidence, I discovered that the kingdoms of David and Solomon were legends.

"Similarly with the exile. In fact, you can't explain Jewishness without exile. But when I started to look for history books describing the events of this exile, I couldn't find any. Not one.

"That was because the Romans did not exile people. In fact, Jews in Palestine were overwhelming peasants and all the evidence suggests they stayed on their lands."

One further question is prompted by Dr. Sand's account, as he himself notes: if most Jews never left the Holy Land, what became of them?

"It is not taught in Israeli schools but most of the early Zionist leaders, including David Ben Gurion [Israel's first prime minister], believed that the Palestinians were the descendants of the area's original Jews. They believed the Jews had later converted to Islam."

It is anti-ecological to ONLY assimilate. We live in multiple associations and should relish it.

It is health.

To impose an assimilationism is an oppression.

Likewise, to impose Judaization is also oppression.

Hence, the two-state solution.

Optimizing self-governance, NOT imposing either Islam, Judaism, or "universalism" on ALL when 40% prefer Zionism, 40% prefer Palestinian nationalism, and maybe (gratuitiously) 20% prefer "universalism".

Riiiiiight.

We suther' folk know what to do with our ne-gros!

We keeps them in chains, yes suh!

Forgive me if I don't shed a tear for the traditional southern society.
