I saw on TV where several Arab nations attacked Israel in 1967. Israel won that war. They conquered and aquired the properties that make up present day Israel. The Arabs lost. Bad gamble on their part. But That's the way it is. Now 30+ years later it is still part of Israel. It's like a chunk of the SW USA. We won that land from Texas to California in war. It's been part of America for decades. That's the way things work. Now if the Arabs want those chunks of real estate back...then they will have to fight for them. But I would put my money on Israel. And chances are, the arabs would lose even more land. So the best bet would be for the rest of the Arab world to provide a place the Palastinains to call home....and let Israel be. Doesn't this make more sense than what's coming?

No, Israel launched a preemptive strike on Egypt regarding the blockade of the straits. Most agree that Israel was justified...except 114 other nations in the UN.

Let's skip the Bible, eh?
1. Prior to the Roman Conquest, was everyone in the region a Jew?
2. From that point in history until the Ottoman Conquest was everyone in the region a Jew? 3. Who was living in the region at the end of World War One? (When the Turks, inheritors of the Empire surrendered to the British).
4. Who signed the 1948 creation of modern day Israel?
5. Why did Jordan not demand the return of the WB while Egypt reacquired the Sinai?
If you can answer these questions objectively, you will do us all a great favor and tone down the rhetoric. Thank you.
