Re. the Diaspora, guess the early Zionists had never heard the of the old saying " you can never go home again" using your logic would mean that you and me would be back in Lancashire and only the descendants of the native tribes would live in what we now call North America. One curious fact which the mainstream press is ignoring (and we all know who owns the press) is the fact that the missiles that the Palestinians are firing are coming down on the occupied territories, not one has landed within Israels 1948 borders . Fact, Israel is a theocracy first and a democracy second, no different than Iran , just a different religion . one enshrined in its constitution , no freedom of religon like we have , did you know it is a crime to import Bibles and proselytize in Israel (No Mormon or JW missionaries allowed) maybe if the jews of the Diaspora had spent a little more time assimilating into their local communities (When in Rome) instead of just living separate alongside them, there would be none of the present day problems.
