And if the Jews were Muslims it wouldn't make a difference either, but in this case, the Muslims wouldn't leave most of them Jews used to live in many Arab lands a 100 years ago. What changed?

Hi Ichy Smith; Re: "And if the Jews were Muslims it wouldn't make a difference either, but in this case, the Muslims wouldn't leave most of them alive." I doubt that there will be any great massacre there. But if that is what it would eventually come to, then Israel would be well advised to negotiate something that is acceptable to the Arabs before it comes to that. Individual Israelis would be well advised to leave early. I can name you plenty of military conflicts that resulted in massacres, and yes, the prospect of getting massacred sometimes causes a group to fight harder. But when you're outnumbered 100 to 1, "harder" doesn't work forever. And if what we just saw in Lebanon was an example of "harder", then even you must agree that Israel is in deep trouble. -- Carl
