To the victor belongs the spoils.  Calling White settlement of the Americas "theft" readily ignores the fact that races of people have moved around and mixed about the world for millennia; a race of people can only claim a "right" to a segment of land insofar as they're able to defend it.

However, it should go without saying that American slavery is of course our nation's greatest sin.

I don't think you've thought this all the way through.

Is this suppose to be about Israel?  I have no problem with support for the Israeli state as an established American foreign policy priority, but to say they have some sort of exogenous "right" to the lands they now occupy is obviously silly.  One doesn't have to be a rabid Zionist to support contemporary Israel.
