Maybe you should research before you ask these questions: Australia is doing a lot about it, new land rights are granted every week: Vast tracts of land are now back in Aborigine hands: Huge amounts of cash are being spent.
Every single Aborigine in the country has special rights, so much so, that you have white Australians pretending to be Aboriginal to cash in on the extra benefits. Now tell us all what Israel are doing?
and this:
Three points:
Australia is not only a country, its a continent. They have alot of land to spare.
Some land is more valuable than other land. I'm referring to natural resources, global position, ect... I mention this because the west bank is not some deserted piece of worthless land. As you can see, the west bank and the gaza strip take up a significant portion of Israel(i'm not gonna even mention the golan heights). It's not like the palestinians are asking for the southern portion of Judea, which is mostly desert. That would be less of a strain on Israel. Israel has waaaayyyy less land to give than Australia, yet at various times, huge proportions were being offered to the palestinians. They didn't take it. Some people like to fight.
Another thing to consider, that's related to the point above: the middle of Australia is desert. I request Billy Dean to post a map of Australia showing which parts of Australia are being offered to the native people. If it's large tracts of land on the southeastern coast, I would be impressed. I propose you give them Victoria and South Australia. Proportionally, I think that would be about equal to the west bank and gaza strip in Israel. Be sure and respond quickly now Billy Dean, I'm eager to give the natives the good news!!!![]()
