Reader comment on item: Israel's Domestic Enemy
in response to reader comment: My earlier warnings of this very problem
Submitted by Blackspeare (United States), Dec 22, 2006 at 11:39
The old adage, "That blood is thicker than water" certainly holds true in the Middle East. The sometimes anti-semitic historian, Arnold Toynbee stated around the time of Israel's creation, that the Israeli nation would not last 50 years----maybe he was only off by 50 years!
