You asked me who made the rule, not whether it's an acceptable rule today. Acceptable and actual are completely different things. And, as I said, a law that is not enforceable is as good as no law at all.

You seriously claim that the Palestinians' demand to get their land back is the same as giving the whole of South America back to the few remaining natives, or the US to the few remaining natives? You talk of principles here, but the Palestinian situation and these "other" situation are not the same thing. Many of the Palestinians for whom the land was taken still live today, and they want their land back. I haven't heard of any large movements in the US to give the whole of the US back to the natives. The society is also not the same as it was before. Things change, what might've once been approvable may not be so today, in the modern society. Very old errors can also be hard, or impossible to fix.

Are you saying there are no living Mexicans or Native Americans? They want their land back too, and they have organized movements to lobby the nation in order to accomplish their goals. The only difference between them and the Palestinians is the fact that they aren't blowing up children. Maybe that's why you haven't heard of them. Maybe that's why they don't get as much press as the Palestinians. Maybe they should start blowing up civilians so they can get some press and make people aware of their plight.
