... no one is living on the lands of their ancestors

"There shall be no hierarchy of descent" — Bob Hawke, PM, 1988

Our own family was kicked out of Scotland in the 19th Century. Lost all our land. Should we go back for reparations? The whole issue is absurd when you consider not a single person in Australia today was here when the British landed. Not a one. And the oldest person in the land, today, is pretty close to being our mother, Mutti, at rising 103...

Oh... and how is it that we all genuflect before First Nations, in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, etc... but there is no concept of First Nations in Israel?
