Whether it's 125,000 or 400,000, does it really matter. There are what 30 or 60 elderly Jews left. Even Emile admits that the Christian community has been decimated by Saddam.

It's for this reason exactly that Israel exists as a safe haven from holocausts, pogroms, etc. There are plenty of Christian, Hindu, Moslem countries. All this hatred to prevent Jews from having 5% of the Middle Eastern desert.

Someone posted that if you imagine a football field, and then imagine a box of matches on the field. That's Israel. The Arabs only want that box of matches because nobody else in that area wants to work hard enough to make a spark of peace. Unity comes from hatred of Jews. Without it, they would be killing each other and Emile and Jim would need a new target.

So, how do you feel about the fact that Jews lived peacefully (relatively speaking) in Iraq for several thousand years, and then when Zionism came, problems immediately arose?
