Haha, no, I'm not identifying myself as an arab. I'm an american of mixed european blood, but I can understand where my meaning was miscommunicated. What I meant was that the arabs seem to owe them the land and americans the defense and funding the way things are going. To be smug and obnoxious about it, British colonization worked wonders for my people, generally speaking
We've caused most of our own problems ever since.
Maybe I have too secular a mentality to even engage in conversation regarding a patch of land that the three faiths all hold sacred, but the fact that Jews have said "next year in Jerusalem" since their place of worship got razed should have
no bearing whatsoever on modern geopolitics.
I also don't recall ever saying that every single jew left the region, either, my point is that the region simply was not solely theirs to rule anywhere remotely close to the creation of the Israeli state as we now know it. (Which in fact
was motivated by the sticky situation jews happened to be in aroundabouts 1948 when Mandate Palestine was cut up and later seized by Jordan and Israel).
I am not opposed to Jewish real-estate as much as I'm opposed to a specifically Jewish nation. Maybe the heterogeneous nature of America has me a bit spoiled, but it seems trying to create a nation based on a largely nomadic race simply because they happen to be the majority in the area causes a whole hell of a lot more trouble than it's worth, as the past fifty-someodd years of wars and terroism have exhibited.

Israel is a "Chunk" of land ? Have you looked at a map?
Do you realize how dumb you sound saying "DESERT right by the beach" ?

Yes, Israel is in fact a "chunk" of land in much the same way America, Brazil, and Russia are not. It is also in fact largely comprised of desert territory, and is right next to the Mediterranean, hence, by the beach. Please tell me where I'm wrong here, I'm missing your point.

Because the Holocaust perpetrated by Hitler was the only time in history that Jews were the targets of such violence, clearly.

I'm not sure I understand where you were going with this, Kevin, but if the jews got a new country every time some wacko ruler decided he didn't want them around anymore...
