And Chuck may well have a point. I'm too old to think that only I have the right answers. That is why usually I will express my opinions, but not rake anyone over the coals for disagreeing with me. Life is not didactic; I strive to avoid it as well.

The Jews apparently believe this also when they are the dispossessed, which is why they still seek to recover, without compensation, art taken from them during NAZI era which have now passed onto second or third hands. But they stopped believing this when they are the dispossessors.
This is a good example of a good point he's making. It's rather hypocritical of Jewish organizations to work towards the recovery of Jewish property stolen during the Holocaust while at the same time denying any obligation to compensate Palestinians for land seized for settlements.
