As I've suggested repeatedly, you have your own stilted view of history and use that to build a case to your own fact pattern. There are many Jews who believe as you posted but most do not. Most who support the existence of the State of Israel feel that it is necessary given the Holocaust and the history of oppression that the Jewish people have suffered through. In fact, the posters here are prime examples of why it is necessary for there to exist a Jewish haven. There are certainly enough Arab/Moslem nations and there are certainly enough Christian nations. The Jews took a very narrow strip of land that was largely desert, in terrible shape, a tiny fraction of the Arab lands and made it into a beautiful country. There is plenty of land throughout the Arab world. Yet, the leaders of the Arab nations, largely tyrants and OILogarchs have used this issue to keep their own people from removing their tyrannical regimes. You can blather on with Biblical references and you can do well with your buddy Emile or the others who feel that history is determined by ancient texts. However, thank goodness that the vast majority of Americans support Israel's right to exist for the reasons I have given and that is not about to change despite the efforts of a determined group of extremist internet chatterers.
