Hi Nikole Wollerstein; Re: "Arabs have oil and more $$ and more people that is why their propaganda is more efficient. It has nothing to do with moral." Yes, I've been saying something like this for some time. It doesn't bode well for Israel. Re: "Million Jews and Christians has been evicted from Arab countries this communities have existed since Roman times Raped and killed and theire land confiscated however it is forgotten story." The soil of this planet is soaked in blood, the vast majority of it spilled in forgotten stories. Everyone's got a story. In fact, pretty much every time you have two groups in conflict there are also (conflicting) stories. Putting together a decent set of stores is easy. Everybody does it. But stories are very over rated. They don't win conflicts. Re: "If oil had not been discovered in the Saudi Arabia ,Iran/Iraq we would never heard about Arabs and Israel would be regional super power." Talking about morality got you nowhere, and now you're drifting off into wishful thinking. Or are you suggesting that the Jews should relocate to, I don't know, Libya? Are they the nearest oil state with a relatively low population? By the way, wishing for extreme natural resources is probably counterproductive. Countries that have these sorts of things tend to have little economic production due to an effect that arises from competition between alternative exports. Basically, if you export lots and lots of oil (or gold, or leather, or whatever) then it makes your currency very valuable, which makes imports cheap, which makes it very difficult for local industry to compete with goods manufactured abroad. -- Carl
