Dude, don't be tagging me in your comments. I have no use for an anti Semitic asshole
The only anti-Semite

here is you.
What causes an alleged intelligent somewhat impartial American adult to come to such asinine, hateful and false statements and opinions?
Take the Jewish label off the Israelis and the Muslim label off the Arabs and the Persians and what do you have? You have one waste land almost deserted of humanity except for basically some Bedouins and shepherds under Ottoman Turk rule. You have some people from Europe (jewish but we will ignore that for the moment) who offered the Ottoman’s money for swamp land. They also paid absentee wealthy Egyptian landlords for other tracks of worthless land in the desert. These settlers move in and reclaim the swamp lands and bring the desert into bloom.
Lo and behold all of a sudden there are employment opportunities for poor neighbors so Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians, et al. move in to the same region and take advantage of those European settlers’ hard work and good graces. Note, this is not a country, it is a parcel of a much larger territory under Ottoman rule.
Move ahead a number of decades and all of a sudden those Egyptians, Syrians, etc. demand the Europeans leave because they now call themselves “Palestinians” and it is their land, their country these evil Europeans forced their way into.
Then there is a war and the Europeans win. The so-called Palestinians, many of them left until the war was over then they planned to move back. Did not quite work to plan. The European settlers say they can all move back if they sign some peace treaty or if their jealous neighbors sign treaties. None of them will of course. So conflicts continue far and away because the neighbors all hate the Europeans and lie continuously what these conflicts are all about. So stupid or hateful Americans, and other Europeans, and Russians and U.N. nations all buy into the Islam B.S. Why?, I have no idea? That is what I am still trying to figure out?
