WOW: 1,300 words thats got to be the longest post I've ever seen here.
It's a very interesting discussion. The only thing that I would add would be a request to organise and define the terms being used.
The words Arab, Jew and Palestinian are not really comparative.It occurs a lot in the news as well but the word jew is refering to a religion, the same as muslim does.
Arab is a term which seems to cover people from all over the middle east
Palestinian refers to someone from Palestine.However all three terms are being used in a number of different contexts.
I think the term Israeli should be used instead of jew when considering teritorial issues (ie comparing 'palesine' with 'israel'. Equally jew should only be used when comparing 'jew' and 'muslim'
I don't feel that Jews are a race of people but people of a certain religious belief.
