Out of a population of 6.3 million, about 1.1 million — 18 percent of the population — are non-Jews (945,000 Muslims, 130,000 Christians and 100,000 Druze).1" us-israel.org Once again, Israel is not as much a Jewish State, since over a million Arabs live there, as it is a state for Jews. After thousands of years of persecution, Jewish people figured that they would be better off controlling their own destiny, than by leaving their future in the hands of others. After all, unfortunately, there are a lot of Len grASSos out there. Len, you seem to have an unnatural interest in Jewish culture and history. While I will admit that Jews have not always done great things for the world, the contributions to the world by Jewish people is way out of proportion with their small population. Why do you always concentrate on the negative when it comes to Jewish culture and history? Does it give you pleasure, or does it build your ego by challenging one of the most advanced cultures?
