I will not accept the idea that if Israel disappeared tomorrow, the middle east would be a nice vacation spot....

Nobody said it would be. It would continue to have major issues. But it would not be America's problem, in the same way that Burma, Cambodia, Ivory Coast, Liberia and a host of other isolated hotspots are not America's problem.

And you'd think many Israelis would like to live in a country where the average person likes and welcomes them, rather than in a region where the average person thinks they shouldn't exist and many want to kill them! That's just common sense to me.

You don't accept evolution either. Why not state that so others can have a useful metric of your opinions?
