05/01/2004: "Israel: stolen property"
Governor Conan T. Barbarian of California is taking a trip to Israel shortly to take part in the ground-breaking for a new Museum of Tolerance being built in Jerusalem by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Needless to say, there are some Arab-Americans who are upset that the Governator would dare set foot in Israel without making a similar trip to the West Bank. But according to AP, some go farther:
Others take a more strident approach. A Connecticut-based group known as Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, called on members in California to contact the governor to demand that he cancel his trip, asserting the museum will be built on land "stolen by Israel."
The museum will be built in the French Hill section of Jerusalem, at the foot of Mount Scopus near Hebrew University. The spot in question is on the west side of Jerusalem, on the Israeli side of the 1949 armistice line. So for Al-Awda (one of the leading members of the International A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition of far-left lunatics), all of Israel has been stolen, which is to say that Israel has no right to exist. And some wonder why President Bush has rejected the Palestinian claim to a "right to return."
