125. But it goes against many customs. They were a stateless people.
They were guests in those lands. It's like the girl that lost her eye after being shot with a tear gas canister. She was from here in Maryland and I started a discussion on it at a board run by a local paper. I was shocked when may of the replies were she deserved it. She was a guest there. How dare she protest anything. I think what was so shocking about it. In retrospect they are partially right in that when you are a guest in another country. You don't insult your host like that. It is more important to observe their customs and traditions than to assert your own. But that doesn't justify abusive treatment of any kind for the disrespect and I don't consider expulsion or deportation to be abusive.
