This dispute has been on-going for centuries. Nevertheless, I am surprise of the stance taken by the DR when it has always had a good relationship with Israel under all past administrations. http://www.vosizneias.com/34327/2009/06/30/santo-domingo-dominican-republic-president-welcomes-chabad-rabbi/ I really don't see why it would cause such surprise. There also been a much bigger Arab presence than a Jewish one in the DR.

S. It's bad news, "genius", because the DR isn't a major player in the international arena, and is quite powerless to withstand the onslaught that an enemy like that can unleash on it. They just need to make a few calls within the upper echelons of the international financing bodies (IMF, IDB, World Bank, etc.) to make those institutions "suspend" all aid and financing to this country, and it would be enough to send this country, and the entire island with it, to the bottom of the abyss. But of course, this is too much for your small brain to comprehend, so I'm just wasting my time here. Let others lead the battle against Zionism, players with axes to grind (and more powerful than the DR of course) are more than plenty out there, while we take care of our own domestic matters in the meantime. Unfortunately, what you're saying is true but I think that at the rate Israel is going, specifically with wanting to attack Iran it's only going to be a matter of time before the whole world (except the U.S. and maybe a few European nations) turn against Israel and their Zionist agenda. I have nothing against Jews but I do not support Zionism.

I don't particularly see eye to eye politically with Leonel since he is a Socialist living Bourgeois' dream (like they always do --- do as I say, not as I do) being president of a functioning nation. But, I agree with Leonel wholeheartedly on this point. They have gotten a raw deal out of this Balfour Treaty-U.N.-Vatican arrangement. They have been left to live as foreigners on land their forefathers owned and cultivated. They've been displaced by for the most part Russian (Ashkenazi) Jews, and trace elements of Sephardic Jews from the Mediterranean and the Arab Crescent. But will Palestine ever become a reality? That is another matter.   |

As far as the land of Israel there has never been a nation on that land other than Israel with Jerusalem as its capital.The "Palestinians" already have Jordan and as Arabs they have the whole sourounding region. Leonel is just catering to the left wing radical wing of the PLD (the true core of the party) who like Hugo Chavez,Fidel Castro and the extreme left in the US hate Israel and support the radical islamist agenda! They came from the Levant in general, not just from Lebanon. At the time that most migrated the Levant was under Otoman rule and they would arrive in the Americas with documents issued by the now defunct Ottoman Empire, causing these people to be incorrectly refferred to as "turcos" in some of the other latin nations they settled in.

The Palestinian "Arabs" are descended from a core group that has been there since neolithic times. A fact proven by genetics. They are now, for the most part, a displaced people. As for Arabs having the entire surrounding area..and? That would be akin to Dominicans being kicked off our island to placate the Haitians..but what would it matter since there are a host of other Latin nations around us anyway. I think few Dominicans would buy into that. Edited on 11/15/2011 1:27 PM by cibaeño75. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill |
