One begins to wonder... why such hatred for the Jews?
You would think there would be 10X the hatred for the Arabs!!! They are cruel, ignorant, merciless...
And then you realize... the envy of the Jews is just too much to the ignorant mob... and so it goes.
What is more worrisome, is why the Jews continue to make the same mistakes over and over as the centuries go by?
Pretty discouraging, if you ask me.
But I don't agree that mistakes were being repeated. Not much you can do when you are powerless as it was before creation of Israel. Look at Kurds today, 50 million in an everyday struggle for survival, no state, no autonomy, not even basic rights, nowhere to practice their language or preserve their culture: on one side Iraq on the other Turkey - choose your poison. Where did they make a mistake? Similarly, when you have a small state surrounded by enemies and the rest of the world is against you politically, you are in trouble. Without the military and political U.S. support, I don't think Israel would have been able to make it this far. However, Cold War played a big part in making U.S. position so strongly pro-Israel. With its end and it started with Baker's anti-Israel policies the U.S. position became much less pro-Israel. In the current situation with Europe (I guess those sissies solved all their similar terrorist problems already by "restraining themselves": Northern Ireland, Basque country, etc, or wait did they restrain themselves?) taking very much pro-Arab position for one due to demographic changes in Europe itself, for another due their inherent sissiness and anti-semitism (IMHO, only in Germany one more generation left to go) you can see Israel getting much more isolated politically and under increasing pressure. The last hope is the strong U.S. support (always has been the case), which Israel currently at this very crucial moment isn't getting.
