This is a reminder of my childhood. It's why I don't offer my opinion on any of it. People of this generation simply don't have a clue as to the history of the area--and they don't want to learn about it. The one thing the Arabs want to do, is destroy Israel. That's it! They always have. Damn it, those Jews though...they are a resilient lot. I remember Arafat and how much he hated Israel. They ALL hated Israel, and swore that they'd destroy it. And then Israel stood up like David facing Goliath, and that's all she wrote. When Sadat offered peace and Israel accepted, the Arabs killed Sadat. Yes, Israel is right, and still, the world blames them for defending themselves? If they didn't, the Arab world would swoop down and wipe them out. Would the world condemn them for it, or say, yeah, but they had it coming. I might not say much, but I'll never support the Arabs. I'm sorry there's been such senseless killing, but it's always been senseless...and it will probably never stop. When this is over, they'll go back to the drawing board and do it again in another twenty or thirty years.

I doubt the assertion in 6. d. Of the population of Mandatory Palestine as 40% Jewish. The census of 1922 showed about 78% Muslim, 11% Jewish, 9.5% Christian. https://www.cjpme.org/fs_007
