(My only caveat: I’d make "not very good" number one.) en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-04T;06:06:00-05:00 rob.brownstein@litepoint.com I’d like to ask Danny Glover just exactly when Tel-Aviv was created on ruins of Palestinian villages? Tel-Aviv was a thriving municipality long before there was an Israel. It was a swamp and sand dunes reclaimed through the efforts of Zionist Jews - like much of the land that Jews bought from Turkey in its territory. You want find the ruins of prior villages; there were none. Those Bauhaus apartments, which are now being lovingly restored, are the original homes - and Jews built them. So, the argument by Glover, Wallace, Fonda, and others is specious, at best. I’d like to ask Danny Glover just exactly when Tel-Aviv was created on ruins of Palestinian villages?
