There're more Jews in the US than in your "worthy, safe haven of last resort" Israel! (6 million vs 5 million). There're 550,000 Jews in France, about 90,000 in South Africa, even 100,000 in Germany!".... This is what I said that caused you to make the above response..." In looking around in some history sites it appears to me that the Jews have been in this area for as long as the Arabs. And also the Jews have been run off their lands or slaughtered by the Arab countries for as long as history goes back so it kind of looks like its a hatred thing more than any other reason. So is this hatred thing still going on to-day? Anyway it appears to me that over time the Jews were finally forced into the area which is now the state of Israel and this looks like a last stand, they are not going to be pushed any further.".... Now most people could see that I was talking about the Middle East and NOT the USA,FRance, Germany or South Africa and by the way there are a few arabs living in these countries as well...So gus as you say " C'mon, cut that farce.... And by the way the countries you mention are democracies as is the state of Israel...How many democratic countries surround Israel??? And this ..." So, if you Mr Lorne really care about Jews, petition your government to give the Jews a slice of the US territory.".... WAKE UP. You have already said there are more Jews in the USA than there are in Israel, They already have a good slice don't you think. And guess what gus they are not all forced to live in one place they are free to live wherever they wish BECAUSE THE USA IS A FREE COUNTRY..Understand!! GEEZ
