Over 500,000 Palestineans were removed from their homes by force in 1947, and were never allowed to return. Not much different than the Jews in Europe who were removed from their homes by force. That is the relationship that he is referring to.

Big Deal...How far back do you want to go in world history to rewrite the boundary lines of people who were misplaced?
Aquavelvajihad who has questioned the existence of the Holocaust even so far as to hold a summit of Holocaust deniers is trying to make excuses for the persecution of Palestinians by equating it to the suffering of a Holocaust that he doesn't believe actually happened.
So...How far back in history do we go to make things right for everyone?
