Uh huh.

That's why the rest of us can have decent discussions most of the time.

I am not having a problem with the discussion or my part in it- you are.

Back on topic- didn't a country recently offer to let Israel move there? I seem to recall it in the past couple of months. It was somewhere in Europe, but I do not recall.

The Jewish Autonomous Oblast.

It is still there. Founded by Stalin (and so well after the beginnings of a reinstated Israel in Arabia) and intended mostly as a way to get Jews out of the main areas of Russia (short of actually letting them go back to the Holy Land) but also part of a larger plan for ethnic autonomous regions. Never very successful in getting Jews to willingly relocate and today there are only about 2,000 Jews in the area.

They have a right to defend themselves, and Hamas and Hezbellah know perfectly well that their actions are beyond provocative. I believe they are emboldened by their association with Iran, and no doubt are acting up under the direction of Iran's leaders. Personally, I hope they (Israel) kick ass.

I wanted to add to the discussion; but everything I have to say is summed up nicely by WB.
