    Exactly. If I leave my home to go somewhere, even for years and squatters move into it, they do not get a right to my property. Israeli Jews are all squatters.

    My in-laws got their (ruined but big) family estate back from the Czech government, almost 50 years after they fled and became refugees (1948). When they came back, they hired the remaining squatters. They actually brought an extra one (me). I think the cops invited some to move along first, before they moved back. Nobody got physically hurt. It's got to happen in Israel, too. :fright:

    What country do you live in again? In the USA, no one inherits a debt from their parents except if they signed to take responsibility for that debt. So unless your parents were the joint custodians of your account, no judgements can be made against you. At all. They often will try to guilt you into paying their debts, though.

    Correct. Many Holocaust survivors also got their property back in Europe. I don't know what happened to the squatters. But I assume they had no legal right to the property and went back where they came from.

    Are you from here? I think you need to refamiliarize yourself with our laws.

    Nobody worried a lot about where they went. They could get housing and a job anywhere in the country, with a leg up from the government. They were too poor to leave the country.

    Have the Americans paid restitution to the descendents of native Americans?

    It's an ongoing project involving casinos and cigarettes.

    that I do but you need to familiarize your self with international law. The palestinians still have a claim and you cannot deny them any of their 3 legally mandated choices.

    Or slavery museums.

    But THE HOLOCAUST museum? One in every major city.

    Seems like they might want to focus on their own victims of history rather than those of the Germans.

    Restitutions in the form of what? They get a raw deal, if that's what you mean. They get some pretty lousy accomodations and probably some aid, but I'm not sure.

    Most of the American Indians here in New York State have become so assimilated into American culture that they are pretty hard to distinguish even physically. If you go to their casinos, you'll see that they dress like modern American business attire and some even have blonde hair. I think there are very few pure blooded Native Americans left.

    But what more can they be given? Should we displace everyone to give land back to 1% of the population? Not happening. The American Indians just have to accept what took place as a result of a tragic history and move on with their lives -- which they are freely able to do.

    But we do have books. You must have seen them.

    It would be a hollow cost if we didn't all cry to think of it.

    Yeah I read "Bury my heart at wounded knee" and "To kill a mockingbird"

    But where are the 3 billion a year they are paying the Jews?

    Where is the option for a free nation on top of other people already living there?

    Where is the referendum of a separate state for those who want it?

    After all, they did all this for the Jews.

    And you have to admit, America is much much bigger than Palestine, they can afford to give a little Israel to every one of the 400 tribes.

    Lol. There are tons of Native American and Black History museums in the USA. When I lived in CT, there was one right down the road from me: the Prudence Crandall museum. Check the woman out.

    I went to the native American museum and black history museum in Washington.

    I didn't see any holocaust remembrance there.

    Probably because those weren't holocausts. There's a marked difference between the Nazi Holocaust and Slavery/Native American removal in the USA. The 20th century is recognized by historians as the birth of the idea of genocide (that's when the word was invented). Attempts at colonization and conquest (the old ways) were replaced by complete eradication. Only in the 20th century did we first have the technology for mass, organized, and systematic killing of entire groups of people. That's where death camps come in. The Holocaust is notorious for being the first of these genocides to happen on such a horrific scale. It has nothing to do with any racial bias.

    The Holocaust was seen as a turning point in history, and due to the fact that there are still people around who actually were direct victims, it is still remembered.
