The principle on which a country was founded is absolutely irrelevant.Wrong! America was founded on the principle of slavery. No it was not. Slavery was NOT the driving force behind the revolution Most countries in Europe were founded on the principle of a king's divine right to absolute power. Wrong. They were founded based on nationality / culture. Just because they were ruled by kings was incidental. Look at all the countries that were created when the cold war ended - the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Armenia, etc.... They all divided along ethnic lines, some peacefully, some not. Countries where the borders do not line up neatly with the ethnicity within (Bosnia), resulted in wars. The world would be a happier place if every ethnicity had its own country Do you oppose the 13th Amendment? Do you oppose democracy in Europe? Do you believe that America was "destroyed" by abolishing slavery or that France was "destroyed" by unseating its king? Was England destroyed by the Magna Carta, or more recently when the last remnants of the monarch's political power were dissolved? None of those things need to change the ethnic or religious balance of a country. Just because the United States is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious country does not mean that the rest of the countries in the world also needs to be like us. You think that the whole world should be like the US - why are you trying to impose your American culture on the world? Aren't you the arrogant one! Israel was founded as a Jewish state, It is a democracy and there is no slavery there. So all of your attempts to divert the discussion are ridiculous. The bottom line is you do object to Israel in principle. Israel with an Arab majority will no longer be Israel and you know it but that is what you want. |
