I often make the same comparison myself with Jews and Arabs and Americans and Native Americans.
I wonder if U.S. wasn't a superpower now and say Russia was the superpower and they decided to support the state of Indiael through military and financial aid, how many U.S. citizens would be "terrorists" and wouldn't want to take an airplane and crash it into the Kremlin?
And you wonder why the Arabs hate us.

I sometimes ask that question myself but I equate the Palestinians to the Native American. The Israelis have the land now and the Palestinians want to take it back. If the Indians want to fight to create an independent Indianstine all I have to say to them is get out the war paint and go for it Geronimo!

Fine with me. I don't live in NY. That would be one less D state to deal with. It would give the Rs a bigger majority in both the Senate and the House.

Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force. If the Indians could do it, and not get wiped out, they probably would.
Fortunately for us, the Indians have been defeated and are no longer a threat.
Next on the list to defeat, militant Islam.

You can kick anybody you want out of your house because it is your land and then if you want to call it a funny name you can do that too.
If you fight a war and win it and you want to keep the land you get too. Why anybody would want to live next to Arabs is beyond me but the Israelis do and they know the one way they can.

Do you envision any way this might happen in the near future? That's usually one of the motivators for a hypothetical question. Otherwise we turn to the default motivating position for this forum: stupidity.

I dont know why you all are laughing - I bet they werent laughing when it was taken from them in the first place. If they did the same thing they would be within their rights to do that IMO.

Would be hilarious actually, though I'd be the first one to line up on my reservation to start a casino.

Then what, turn the whole state into one big smoke shop & casino?
Would the taxes be lower?
Give it a go!
