Reader comment on item: Middle East Studies in Upheaval
in response to reader comment: Re: "Europeans are too dumb to see that Iranian missiles can hit Europe as well as Israel."

Submitted by Amin Riaz (United Kingdom), Aug 9, 2011 at 11:37

Wow - best delusions i have come across In a long long time. Israel died over 200 years ago. Finished by the Roman. By the time Arabs came- they simply walked into the land. Only really losing ot he British.

As for nation-state - that whole concept was new to everyone.

Even extreme jewish Historians do not claim such non-sense. ...
