Those who left kept more strongly to their religious identity - though many left the faith and assimilated into the communities they were a part of, while outsiders were drawn into the blood line, especially via a founder effect on the maternal line as new communities lacked women. Describing one group as squatters and the other true inheritors is to be blind to the complexity of population movements and social and cultural change over millennia. Oh ...

RIchard Britten Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Are you going to use any factual evidence to counter Chinahand's post or are you just going to quote some made up numbers from a CIA "factbook" again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIchard Britten Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 You're right of course. There is no discussing a complicated and delicate subject like the Israel/Palestine situation with a such a ardent Zionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An exercise in attempting to apply logic to the fundamentally unfathomable. You do see the irony - it is a word created by the Germans to confirm the inevitability of conflict with the French. I imagine we'd have found such a word useful during the Hundreds Year War. But look political processes can end ancient enmities - or are we destined to go to war with the French too? Do you really think Erbfeindschaft applies to the French and Germans now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Never say never, China. It's too soon to tell, in the (attributed) words of Zhou Enlai. Everyone is so short termist nowadays. When the EU collapses, who knows what follows? Nothing is for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
