Nazi & Zionist War Compensation: Different Attitudes

Yesterday in Berlin, the longest-running World War II compensation suit came to an end. The Jewish, Wertheim heirs will receive $ 117 million from the KarstadtQuelle AG . The elected Hitler administration took the valuable downtown Berlin land away from the Wertheims in the 1930s. KarstadtQuelle had nothing to do with the seizure but now owns the property. Thus the court found them liable to the Wertheim heirs. OK ?

Meanwhile back in Tel Aviv on the same day, Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made a statement about the Palestinian's claim of the " right of return". He said, " Israel would not allow a single Palestinian refugee to return to what is now Israel, and Israel bore no responsibility for the refugees because their plight resulted from an attack by Arab nations on Israel." What ?

So Arabs attack Israel, so Israel confiscates Palestinian lands and won't give it back or offer compensation. The " right of return" is a key issue in the world-destabilizing Israeli/Palestinian conflict. There are over 4 million Palestinian refugees in neighboring countries because of Israel's 1948 ethnic cleansing. It's bad enough that Israel persue it's slow-motion genocide against the Palestinians, but America should not be a part of this colossal crime. Dump Israel.
