Quote by: Indie Do people actually look into history for their opinions to form ... ? Israel was not set up as a bridge between Christianity and Islam. You missed out the vital point. Jews. The only reason Israel was created was because we didn't know what to do with the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were there, and we couldn't not take care of them because of the holocaust. (...) Get your facts right before posting things like that!! |
Jeez, Indie, for somebody who carps about historical ignorance, you should brush up on yours. Zionism was an established movement before Hitler was out of diapers, and WWII was preceded by a half century of Jewish immigration in Palestine. "We" didn't know what to do with "them"? Honestly...

Quote by: Milt B We made room for the Mormons, and the Indians to have self rule within our borders, why not make room for the Jews as well? |
For starters the Jews have been scapegoated for many many centuries. Kinda hard to "make room" for your favourite whipping boy.
As for the Mormons, we "made room" for them, i.e. they took it form Indians. As for the Indians, ask an Indian whether "room" has been "made" for him.
