>Substitute "Palestinian" for ANY other nationality, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or other adjective describing a group to which YOU belong.

I'm not so narcissistic as to believe that I have some inalienable right to citizenship in a foreign country. Particularly if my culture is incompatible with the host nation. I would much prefer that people reserve the right to choose their foreign neighbors. Consider it an extension of the paradox of tolerance.

What makes everyone so upset is that often the people who (very successfully) lobby for open borders also strongly support Israel when they do things like this. We don't like the hypocrisy.
