So you continue to refuse to acknowledge who the "Palestinians" really are. There is no place for Jews or non-Arab Christians or secular non- Arabs in their society. Is that racist in your opinion?

You now query why Israel demands that it be recognized by the PLO as the Jewish state?

The answer is simple - article 20 of the PLO Charter which states:

"The Balfour Declaration, the Mandate for Palestine, and everything that has been based upon them, are deemed null and void. Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood. Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong."

Why doesn't the world acknowledge how racist this condition is?

In fact why don't you?

Another question you no doubt will not be prepared to answer.

Dear Mr Singer,

Forgive me but I thought the Palestinians harbored nearly half a million Jewish people in their State?

Another question for you then - what is the area that is controlled by the PLO or Hamas or the Palestinian Authority that "harbours" 500000 Jews and what rights have been conferred on those 500000 Jews by the Palestinian Arabs?

I do know the Jewish state of Israel doesn't "harbour" but indeed has granted citizenship to 1.2 million Arabs who live there and have the same rights to vote as the 6.25 million Jews who also live there.

I also know the area of land that is effectively controlled by Israel and under its sovereignty.

Another question - what is the area of the State of Palestine?

Another question - who is the current Prime Minister of Palestine?

Another question - what is the capitol of Palestine?

Another question - if there is a state of Palestine - why are the Palestinian Arabs still claiming to be stateless and homeless?

That's eight questions you now have to answer.
