The Jews didn't come to Israel bearing guns and kicking Arabs out. You need to go reread your history. The Jews came back to Israel bearing cash from their people back in Eurasia. They came to buy land and to live somewhere they wouldn't be persecuted. What happened was they bought land from Arabs and Turks and then had to defend the land in order to survive. That meant guns to protect themselves against marauding Arab tribesmen. They purchased their land legitimately and farmed it, making commerce out of the desert. The difference between Arabs and Americans is that when immigrants come here and buy land, it comes with an indiginous police force that looks out for your security. The Jews didn't get that kind of security in Israel, so they had to create their own protection. The one who is in fantasy land is you. You should talk offline with tejek a little more. He's done his homework, but you aren't there yet.
