Xaccers post, 55, made a lot of sense to me, but then again, Ive been around a bit longer & traveled more than most.

I dont remember Israel taking their land by force, the way I remember it was the U.N. that mandated the area be split into two, one for Jews & one for Arabs. The land was given to the Jews & the Arabs have been trying to get it back ever since. The Middle East is a ticking time bomb. As far as I can see, the Jews just want to live in peace, but the Arabs just wont let go. They wont leave it alone. Their like flies round a dinner table, a pest. One you eventually get sick of, & swat.

I keep hearing this, just because you have travelled does not make one an expert on a subject.
