I guess you would be willing to relinquish your home and the land it sits on to the native people who once owned such land, particularly in the light that virtually every accusation you heap upon Israel could be made of the United States in its aquisition of land from the original settlers of the continent. There is not one nation on the planet today that existed at the beginning of human civilization, and it is important to note that virtually every modern nation has had its boundaries defined by war and treaties. Horak seems to be ignorant of the fact that concessions to Palestine which returned the West bank and the Gaza strip have accomplished nothing but providing a closer launch pad to attempt to launch rockets into Jerusalem. These concessions are far more than Palestine deserves after its craven targeting of civilians, if targeting is the right word for lobbing unguided bombs into urban centers, and if the Palestinians don't like the current border arrangement, well, to the victor go the spoils of war, a truth of human society that has existed since people banded into groups large enough to create an army. Far too many of these pro-Palestinian arguments seem to be a veil to cloak an anti-semitic thought process.

... and here I was thinking that far too many accusations of anti-semitism are a veil to cloak what is simply aggression and neo-colonialism.

What a great defense, you have perfectly countered my argument.
