In light of all the facts stated above, it's easy to understand why the rest of the world hates Israel so much--sheer jealousy! Whether we're talking about Muslim fundamentalist fanatics, Western socialists and neo-fascists or whomever else, it's all the same song and dance and for the same reason: Israel is to be hated and one day eliminated, or looked upon as the cause of all the world's problems, simply because it's doing better than most of the rest of the world, Western nations included, in every field imaginable. Jealousy really is "the green eyed monster!"
