Brilliant response...Well done
thank you....
BTW..regarding blaming Israel for Soviet influence with the arabs, if my history is correct, it was Israel's refusal to have closer relations with the USSR which led the USSR to approach the arab states in a cold war effort to confront the US and the west. The USSR recognized Israeli independence almost immediately after its declaration but Israel backed away from a strategic relationship.

it is important, as you have pointed out to remind our friend that judea and samaria, while taken legally in a defensive war is only part of the justification for Israeli sovereignty on this land. There is no arab tradition of living in these lands. There was never a palestine in history where arabs had a state independant or otherwise. http://www.masada2000.org/. the stealing of this land by arabians is the continuation of the epic struggle of islam versus western civilization's progenitors, and more importantly the people chosen by the creator to dwell in this land, the Jewish people.
