gotta git to bed, but have time to recc. reading(if it can be found online) "A subversive meaning gleaned from a surrealistic lawsuit" by Yossi Klein Halevi in The Jerusalem Post. I''ll quote just one line from the article as it appears in mine yiddisher frau's copy of "The American Jewish World": "If Jews are in fact the descendants fo the children of Israel, that means they have the right to the land of Israel -- according to the Koran itself. In Sura 5, verses 20 and 21 declare: "Remember when Moses said to his people: O my people, remember the favors that God bestowed on you when he appointed apostles from among you, and made you kings and gave you what had never been given to any one in the world. Enter then, my people, the Holy Land that God has ordained for you."
