<< The Bible clearly states what is the promised land for the Jewish people. They are more entitled to it, than I am entitled to American soil. >>

The Bible wasn't very generous with the Jewish people. Israel has a tiny piece of land, and is surrounded by huge areas of Arabs, all hostile towards little Israel. It is a damn shame that there aren't more peacemakers among the Arabs.

Jews have suffered from centuries of persecution and injustices. When I hear about the Bible's promises to the Jews I think about Tevye's lines in Fiddler on the Roof.

In one scene, Tevye is leading his lame horse back to the stable after a very difficult day. When he arrives at the stable, very tired, very poor and very frustrated, Tevye talks to God. He says: "I realize we're called the chosen people, but once in awhile, could you choose someone else?"
