You are right Nadine. I put that badly. What I meant was, the Arabs have been there, albeit moved around by the colonial powers, and are thus "indigenous"- which is what I was trying to get at, (and you have given a fine example of why there is a systemic and historical reason for the Arabs to hate not only the colonial powers, but to hate their creation- Israel. Right?) We do not support the Arab states at the level we support Israel- although we did give money to Egypt for making nice with Israel, but that's recent. I don't see the same level of historic support. Maybe there has been, but I don't think I've seen any evidence for it.

You have helped make my point. Not only were the Arabs abused by the colonial forces which exploited their tribal rivalries, but they were saddled with Israel in their midst. It's understandable why the colonial powers after creating Israel might support it, now isn't it? And I think even you would agree that many countries have played a part in Israel's survival- wouldn't you?
