I'm Cherokee and technically if all life originated in Africa, everyone who is non-black is just an emigrant

Hmm, interesting view. I just wonder when people say that they(Native Americans) didn't immigrate.

Funny, I often draw a parallel between Israelis and Americans in that aspect. Maybe that?s why our relationship is so strong.

In case you have never picked up a history book, the original Jewish people were nomads that settled into present day Israel...buy like the colonists settling America...<Gomer Pyle> Surprise Surprise Surprise, there were already people living there.

Right Israelis=present day Americans. Indians=Palestinians.

because people subconsciouly believe that western society is the end all/be all. sort of like how north and south america were "discovered" by europeans and the same way we will "discover" the rest of the universe. the proper name for the concept escapes me but it's basically self-centered thinking on a really large scale.

Yep, they crossed the Bering Straight from Syberia into Alaska about 10,000 years ago and then spread throughout the Americas.

I'd love to sound in on the Palestinian/Indian argument, but I've done that countless times already in P&amp;N, and it will just turn into a flamefest.

There were people already there while the Isralei's were a warfare loving nomadic people

Then there is kennewick man so who really knows WHO was here first.

(though as far as I'm concerned the Europeans STILL stole the whole country from "The Natives", breaking EVERY treaty ever signed in the process.) :thumbsdown:

BTW: Did you know the Mauri of New Zealand weren't native to New Zealand either? The invaded and killed off all the people that were there when they showed up. (The government still pays them though...)
