I believe that it is ok for Israel to allow Arabs to become citizens and hold elective office.

The point is that there are many Arabs who don't want them in the Middle East eventhough the Middle East is their homeland. Jews did not originate in North, South, or Central America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, or other lands.

You can't find any of the Arab states that exist today on a map that was drawn before WWI. Indians today have landscalled reservations. They have their own tribal governments. In the 1980's an Indian from South Dakota was wanted by authorities in that state and he fled to the Iroquois in NY. The Iroquois allowed him to stay with them. South Dakota wanted the state of NY to arrest him and extradite him back to SD. The governor of NY (Cumo) refused to send law enforcement agents into the Iroquois land because the Iroquois unlike just about all other Indians have a unique arrangement. They are treated as if they are a soveriegn nation within the U.S. The governor took the view that he did not have the jurisdiction to send state law enforcement agents on the Iroquois land.

That is true. I have a very distant relative who was a full blooded (actually its your genes not your blood) Cherokee. I am famiure with the trail of tears and a fan of General Stand Waite who was a Cherokee who was a General in the Rebel Army. He was the last Rebel General to surrender.
