    Yeah, if we stretch this logic even further down, we all get to claim our ancestral land in Africa from 200 millennia ago.

      The Netherlands had better watch out… my ancestors came from there about 300 years ago, and that automatically gives me the right to rape, torture and murder my way through Antwerp!

        Every Russian in Lithuania better pack their bags. I’m tearing up my Pennsylvania birth certificate and returning home! I can’t wait to open the first Primanti Bro’s in Vilnius.

              After I pull an Israel on them, it won’t matter… they won’t be allowed to speak either French or Dutch in the small ghetto I’ll be forcing them into.

      Yes, all ancestral land claims are ultimately at least a little bit silly.
