I mean, look at their little tiny country that defeated a war against what, seven nations, just after it's creation.
I don't think you realise Raven that that part of the world has been doing this forever,
The archeological record indicates that the Jewish people evolved out of native Cana'anite peoples and invading tribes. Some time between
about 1800 and 1500 B.C., it is thought that a Semitic people called Hebrews (hapiru) left Mesopotamia and settled in Canaan. Canaan was settled by
different tribes including Semitic peoples, Hittites, and later Philistines, peoples of the sea who are thought to have arrived from Mycenae, or to be
part of the ancient Greek peoples that also settled Mycenae.
The author from the above statement of the history even went as far as acknowledging the fact that it wouldn't be accepted by either or any side of
this conflict, "Go figure?"
This very brief account is intended as a balanced overview and introduction to Palestinian and Israeli history, and the history of the
conflict. It is unlikely that anyone has written or will write an "objective" and definitive summary that would be accepted by everyone, but it is
hoped that this document will provide a fair introduction.

The numbers above are scrambled from their original formatting and should be viewed atr the website for proper validation, but, the number that says
"1,008,286" is the number of lost soldiers of all wars thus far, and this is a census from 2007. "@ more years to figure out the real totals."
War sucks because of it's offensive and defensive sides, as you had stated when you had said it was a "You, You, You." more than an Me, Me, Me.
argument, that is wrong, they are both fighting for the same thing's on different sides.
My brother in law is Arabic, actually he comes from the area of Egypt, and he has a satellite that picks up the television stations of the area the
war is being fought, and believe me, "You guy's are seeing nothing on our news broadcasts compared to what they show over there." Propaganda and
lies, a lot of people say, or they say the news lies, yes, maybe here in the USA, but there, "Total blood and gore visuals." The "True" news, as
me and my brother in law see it.
