Now, in general, I agree with you; but in spite of its desert sand and small size it is still a very strategically located place, and a fine place to install a colony that would be both a skip, hop and a jump from coveted oil fields, and beholden to the Anglo-American establishment.
Also, where else could the emotionality of religious interpretation have been exploited more to manipulate both Jews and Christians, and yet still be near the oil fields We have all been wound up like children's play toys, used, and duped by oligarchical elitists. The events of 1948 were a catastrophe for Christians, Jews, and Muslims, and the whole world alike.
I am also baffled. Why have all the billions and billions of dollars that have gone to intervention in the Middle East not been used to develop alternative forms of energy. It would have been cheaper in the long run, not to mention all the innocent lives it would have saved.It might also have been cleaner and more " friendly to the environment to the environment."
