The first thing you need to do, Dave, is realize that Israel is not "the Jews". Start there. There are about 33 million Jews worldwide, with only 6 million living in Israel. Less every day, as Israelis leave, to become ordinary Jews elsewhere, safe and secure.

What are you trying to tell me....that there are good Israelis? I knew that.....I have friends who are ex pat Israelis. They are not bullies and they are good people. However, Israel, the nation, has become a bully and uses its superpower status to do what it wants. I'm telling you that Israel, and Jews in general, are fine, kind, decent, caring people, while the Palestinians are largely driven by hatred and violence. And that's why they have nothing. Not because of the Jews but because all they have is a thousand years of hatred and an ultra-violent religion driving them. And I have met fine, kind, decent caring people who are Palestinians. The only reason you haven't is because living in Arkansas could be hazardous to their health. Gaza was occupied by Egypt and Jordan occupied the West Bank for years before the PLO's original charter, and not one person every complained about it. Only Arab hatred for the Jews stirred up the bucket of shit. True. The hatred exists because the Palestinians wanted their statehood at the same time as the Zionists. However, the Zionists had the inside track with the US and what was supposed to be the original partition was watered down to satisfy the Zionists to the detriment of the Palestinians. When the Arabs rejected the partition, Israel was given their statehood while the Arabs were left out in the cold. Such action would have so pissed off the American colonist that it would have led to a revolution. Palestinians reacted similarly. Israel was born in blood........its not surprising that it remains a turmoil. When will you imperialists realize you can't shove something down someone's throat and expect them to swallow. I'm not telling you there are "good Israelis" - I'm telling you that Israel has been wrongly accused by an extremist liberal media and the Western Liberal Idiots have swallowed it hook line & sinker. Oh dude, grow up! Its only recently the western media has started to take a more equitable stance. And its still more pro Israeli than it is Arab. You're living in a dream world of your own making.
