The 22 arab nations surrounding israel have a population close to 475 million...the jews in israel have what, 7 million people...its around 1.5% of the arab population. Israel is made up of 21 percent arabs...their are arabs in israels knesset...there are no jewish people in govt poisitions of power in any of the 22 arab nations.. Have you ever spent time in that region...the arabs in general outside of israel hate the jews..its visceral...the only thing I've seen close is how the black americans in some places hate the island blacks (se florida) and how people from croatia speak about albanians. My experience is Israel has no issues with anyone in the world...they are just surrounded by people who wish to see them all exterminated. I'm surprised at how much those with to exterminate the jews get support from the left here in the states look at this proclamation from the palestinians: embassies.gov.il/holysee/AboutIsrael/the-middle-east/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx |

When were you over there? Late 80’s to mid 90’s. We sold us govt surplus ships and overhauled diesel engines to a handful of countries in the Middle East. And quite a few to Alaska as well. |

Freon I’d agree with that. Literally the world sat by and watched half the Jews get exterminated while democrats like Kennedy urged the us to sit and watch. Has a German cafe ever been bombed by an Israeli terrorist. No. |

Freon I’d agree with that. Literally the world sat by and watched half the Jews get exterminated while democrats like Kennedy urged the us to sit and watch. Has a German cafe ever been bombed by an Israeli terrorist. No. Wasn't just Dems. Antisemitism has been a part of the Jewish American experience since day one. Don't forget that the KKK used to have public parades down Pennsylvania avenue on a regular basis. Now they back Donald and the far right. You can call them Dems or Repubs, it's all the same to me. Extremists have gone by many names, have been associated with many parties, and today, the far right is simply the current version of it. Freon |

we tend to succeed wherever we live I did not know you were part of the tribe. Freon Forget it. I was going but what you said. True or not, people see a sign of success when choosing to move here. In some countries, I guess success could be living in West Virginia. Its not about ungrateful greedy born here Americans. |

It's like Bosniacs and Serbs, or Greek Cypriots and Turks. Or Turks and Greeks in general come to think of it. Stupid tribal shit in the Turkish case of course, bad parents and bad politicians pulling long-dead historical levers. Bosniacs v Serbs is entirely reasonable. Palestinians v Israelis, too. Wider Jew hatred in the Arab world is wholly irrational. |

The sweet version was put before me at a social event a few years ago. I'm not one for unreasonable hostility, but, for a moment, I was kind of "maybe Pharoh was right...." |
