Re: reparations

Max: 
At some point, however, going back in time becomes
an exercise in political rhetoric rather than one
of social justice.  How far back is appropriate?


Its not about going back in time. It is about political power. Zionism was
a joint project of Jewish ruling-class figures and Anglo-American
imperialism. Reparations strengthened the state of Israel which was then
used to keep the Arab revolution on the defensive.

Give me a break. There is no "Arab revolution" to be put on the
defensive. There never was.
