Response to Susan

I gave no mention of the Arab states. The Arab states are rather detrimental in their support of the Palestinians. There focus is only on the detriment of the Israelis, not of the aid to the Palestinians.

The Palestinians are NOT squatters, they have lived there FOREVER. Some Jews have lived there forever. A good number of Jews left, and when they were massacred in a horrible European crime, they wanted "their" land back. The Arabs did not go around the world and then seek their land back. The Arabs never left. I understand the Jewish need for a state after World War II. I do not understand the animosity that took place. The Arabs could have had their own state, but Israel wanted all the land for themselves.

I am absolutely not against the Jewish people

I am against radical Zionism

I dont expect to find many friends on Daniel Pipes forum
