It's even more impressive if you include, say, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Somalia, Mali and Mauritania.
Not all of those are Arab. Then again, neither are Pakistan or Armenia, for that matter.
If they're talking about "End the Unjust [Jewish] Occupation of Muslim Land!" -- then you get to include a bunch of others, from Indonesia to Kazakhstan to Nigeria, an even greater contrast.
Isn't that the logic for kicking the palestinians out in the first place?
If every progeny of a tribe of natives had a claim to their ancestral grounds... I can't explain how difficult or stupid it would be to try and resolve it.
The fact of the matter is that Israel is there now. If you're going to hand it back to the Palestinians because they were there first, then it's also going to have to go back to every other tribesman who ever pissed in a bush on their borders.
And you're going to have to do the same for everyone else too.
The Ireland comment is diversionary? since The scale of occupation has nothing to do with it's correctness, and this was the point of your comment (and my retort).
But Ireland is ruled now by the same people it was ruled by in 800AD. The vikings. So let's get on with our lives, eh?

I don't see how ANYONE could think that was anti-Semitic. And my professors have sensitized me to anti-Semitism quite well this semester :)
