Actually, the Zionists WERE doing it out of greed and hoodwinked the mass of
Holocaust victims worrying about a homeland. No real Jew would ever have
supported invading someone's land, murdering, crippling and running them
out, bulldozing their homes and building shiny new resorts.

No, I don't think the general Jewish public was wrong but they were misled
and misinformed by the Zionists and put in the middle of the crossfire. And
the Zionists are still at it. Your life is in their hands, if I'm not
mistaken. You have no choice but to serve in the military, though it is
obvious you don't want to.

I want to say this as sincerely as I can... Think about what you just said
if you ever end up in the Israeli military and you're looking down the
barrel of your machine gun at a Palistinian stone-thrower and you are
ordered to fire.

I am sorry Shiri, but the whole "everyone hates the Jews" stuff is also a
concoction of the Zionists. Don't buy into the hype. There was a
brotherhood, the Zionists ruined it in favor of greed.

| In replying both to Richard and Dan - I agree. We all want peace, and naturally everyone's peace will be on different terms. We cannot change the past, but we can try and deal with what's here.
