Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I would like to ask you some questions. How have the Jewish people survived all their enemies throughout thousands of years without a homeland if their G-D abandoned them? If you know the Bible, you will see that the Egyptian experience been replayed over and over again throughout history. Doesn't it frighten you that despite all the persecutions, all the blood spilled at the hands of Christians and others, this tiny, despised people have not only survived, but thrived in every land in the diaspora? If it doesn't frighten you, could it be that you're not as in tune with what G-D wants as you think you are? Does that possibility exist in your mind?

So, I guess by your say-so, we need to carve out a strip of territory somewhere for the "Gypsies" and kow-tow to their every economic whim, just like Israel, right?

Ben, the tiny tribe of Irish have also survived and thrived. So have the British. So have the Italians. So have the Spanish. So have the Japanese. Tiny little early Anglo America has survived and thrived, despite all its enemies. All tribes of people were tiny in the old days, and every group has suffered at the hands of other groups. You are not alone, you are not unique, you are not super, and you are not better than anyone else, no matter what your ego tells you. You are merely human like everyone else. Stop being such an egotistical racist.

I'm Christian, but I certainly beleive that Jews are God's chosen people. God will only favor the US as long as we are friends to Israel and the Jewish people. Not that that is the only reason to side with Israel, the reason is that of all the countries in the Middle East, only they are friends with US.
