56. So you are saying
you oppose national movements by:
the Basque
the Tibetans
the Palestinians
the Irish
and every other people wishing for a homeland?

And you oppose the return of "traditional lands" captured in war from
the Egyptians
the Jordanians (or Palestinians)
the Syrians
the French
the Poles
the Czechs
the Chinese
and other peoples who had traditional lands taken from them in war?

Or does this, again, only apply when Jews are involved.

It's certainly odd that a "nationalist movement" by the Palestinians is right and proper but a "nationalist movement" by Jews is somehow evil. Why is that, do you think?

(Oh, and in case you are going to pick an arbitrary date of residence out of the air, the lands granted to Israel under international law had a majority Jewish population. Jerusalem has had more Jews living there than any other ethnic group for as long as there has been a census and a Jewish majority since well before the "zionist invasion" so often spoken of by Arafat's people - but you probably want to ignore those facts)
