(Italics mine) I am fortunte that I do not have to spend time in an Israeli settlementor Jewish concentration camp, as are you. I have spent time in the middle east though. I do have some knowledge and experience over there (although limited from a westerner's perspective). I do have personal acquaintances (from both religions) who have lived in settlements and been forced to relocate. I also have ancestors who have not been as fortunate as I and did indeed "spend time" in a Jewish concentration camp. I will point out that it was not the Palestinians who ran those camps (unless you want to discuss Haj Amin al-Husseini).
