		<description><![CDATA[Get your facts right.

Around 200,000 Muslim Turks were indeed expelled from Greece after WWI. 
At the same time, over 2 million Greek Christians were expelled from Turkey, were they had been the majority, until the Turks invaded from Central Asia, and colonized the country. Another 300,000 Pontian Greeks were murdered before expulsion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_genocide

During 1915-17, the Turks annihilated another indigenous Christian population, murdering between 600,000 and 1,600,000 Armenians. (Unlike the Germans, the Turks did not keep meticulous records)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide

At the same time, another 250,000 - 500,000 Aramaic speaking Assyrian Christians were murdered, in the Turkish provinces. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_Genocide

Contemporary Turkey went from being a multi-religious, multi ethnic country, to being almost exclusively Sunni Muslim. They only non Turkish speaking ethnic group left, are the Kurds - and we all know how much the Turks and Kurds love and respect each other.

More recently, Turkey invaded Cyprus, and expelled all of the 300,000 ethnic Greeks from their self declared puppet state on the northern half of the Island. supposedly to protect the 18% Turkish minority, descendants of colonists from the mainland and Greeks who converted to Islam, to avoid persecution.

Jews got off lightly. As a far smaller group,  we were less of a threat. But the lesson was learned, and 90% of Turkey&#039;s Jews quickly left.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, it is pretty much standard procedure among aspiring new nations to start off with some ethnic cleansing. 

It has been estimated that in the 19th and 20th century about 10 million Muslims where killed or driven out of Europe because of their religion, most from the Balkans but also from Bulgaria &amp; Greece.  Young countries likes to keep their population as homogenised as possible.  

But this is not only a religious phenomena,  the United States of America started off by killing virtually all of the lands original population. The Soviet Union killed/imprisoned or drove into exile well over 30 million people to insure the safety of the state. Countries are organisms of their own in some sense, they kill millions of their own people if they feel that their survival is threatened.

It is sad that there are no virtually Jews left in Algeria, I hope this will change in the future.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The comparison of Israel/Palestine to France/Algeria is a false analogy: the Jews are just as indigenous to Palestine as they were to Algeria and the rest of the Arab world, predating Islam by 1,000 years. It is the Arab Muslims who are the colonisers, and the Jews under their rule subjugated to a form of colonial exploitation known as &#039;dhimmi-tude&#039; under sharia law.]]></description>
