“Palestinians” do not qualify as a national “people.” At best they sit on a territory overlapping that of two generations of invaders from the sea.

There was even more interference in that area after WW2, by the French, British and Americans. There were also people living in that area for many centuries, before Israel was created. As for claim to the territory, the Jewish claim is based on the delusion of the "promised land", promised by a fictional being that has about as much credibility as the tooth fairy. You can go through the bible and find much that is fiction and even often contradicts other parts of it. Religious belief, all religious belief is delusion that has caused so much violence

Judging from what I see on that site, one can assume it's all extreme right wing lunacy. They're about as delusion as it gets.
Living in Canada, we can see a lot of what goes on in the U.S.. One thing that's absolutely clear is the hard right (wrong?) Republicans, particularly the "Tea Party", are completely out to lunch, with all the lunacy they come up with. The republicans aren't what they used to be. Even Nixon looks good in comparison.
