Listen.. up to a million Jews were expelled from Arab countries and their property confiscated, but where's the international outcry? bintjbeil.com But do the Israelis make return of those properties a condition for any future peace treaty? No. And when Arabs claim that Israel is a foreign imposed state, they forget that ALMOST EVERY ARAB STATE was carved from the remnants of the Ottoman (or European) empires. Their borders are every bit as artificial and arbitrary as Israel's. And you know something else? If the Jews bore the same kind of historical hatred for Muslims, they'd feel just as completely justified in recapturing their ancestral homeland from the grip of foreign invaders. Remember, the US only goes where they are invited, or the sovereign government approves of our presence.
