Its Israel's fault

Because it wasn't just about what happened to the Jewish folks at the hands of Germany. Many Jews came to the US, but the overwhelming majority at that time were either in the Middle East or Europe. Antisemitism runs very deep in both the Middle East and Europe, and history is replete with examples of why the Jewish folks would never be fully welcome always be treated as pariahs...unless they had someplace of their own.

Everyone is aware of that, Rob.

So, you we have a region of folks whom are brainwashed, willing to die to protect their "infidel free zone" and extremely intolerant of other religions. So what do we do? Why, plant an entire nation of infidels right smack in the middle, then wonder why there is no hope for peace, of course.

Smooth move.
