I ...I am not willing to reject the State of Israel. I remember the UN Council meeting that gave statehood to Israel. And I remember all the attempts of the Egyptians and the Syrians, the Jordanians and even the Turks and the Iraqis massing along the borders of Israel to destroy it - and Israel, with little to no assistance from the major powers, stopped the invasion at their borders. There was never a "state" or "country" of Palestine. It was a new name in the partitioning of the middle east that occurred after WWII. <br />Religion aside, Israel has ever been a good friend to the US - even when we have let them down. Read your history, and don't jump to conclusions as your only exercise!<br />Please forgive me if I offend you, for that was not my intent.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235917932407164518noreply@blogger.com
