should refrain from that i guess but your failure to cut the isrealis even the smallest break back in 1947 annoys me. The UN did the partition. You love the UN, right?

Why would I love the UN? I've said that in the UN vote for establishment of Israel the "no" votes of all the neighbors should be given more weight than they were. Who cares if Bolivia votes to establish Israel 6000 miles away when Egypt on the border says no?

And I don't know what you mean by cut them a break. I think the basic idea of a country founded on exclusion (we are a Jewish nation) rather than inclusion (we accept all peoples) is wrong. In Israel's case particularly wrong because there were plenty of non-Jews there when it came into being....
