Now, I am NOT antisemitic (and Arabs are just as "semitic" as Jews, anyway), but I think someone should speak the truth.
BTW, I have a Jewish friend who has enunciated this view as well.
Of course, it's too late now.

I can't beleive what I just read. Let's put aside the fact that The Jews have belonged there since the time that God had Moses lead them there, and look at relatively recent history. Israel was a barren dessert that was turned into a beautiful productive country through nothing but hard work. The US supports them and will continue to support them because Israel is the ONLY democracy in the middle east.
The creation of Israel is not the cause of terrorism today, The Arabs have always been barbarians. Look at the way the Tiliban treats it's own people. Look at the things Bin laden has said and done.
Bin Laden's anger with the United States stems from the 1990 decision by Saudi Arabia to allow the U.S. to stage attacks on Iraqi forces in Kuwait and Iraq. After the U.S. victory, the U.S. military presence became permanent. Not because of our alliance with Israel.In 1996, bin Laden issued a "fatwah," a religious ruling urging Muslims to kill U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia and Somalia. A second fatwah in 1998 called for attacks on American civilians.
This is what we are dealing with. He deserves no sympathy, no excuses. He needs to be eliminated.
I'm not going to get into the need for the formation of Israel after WWII, My grandfather's brother worked with David Ben Gurian to help form the underground railroad that got the Jews into Israel. This was after everyone in his town was herded into trucks, then told to get out and dig their own graves, when the ditch was done, everyone was lined up and shot. My uncle jumped in the ditch and laid there with all the dead bodies on top of him until it was safe for him to crawl out. he made it to Israel and helped as many as he could get there as well. That whole side of my family is there, the rest, aside from my grandfather, never made it out of Austria.
Maybe you should take a trip to Israel, go to the holocaust museum and see the lampshades that were made from human skin, or the soap that was made from body fat, or look through the books that list the names of people who lived in a certain town, that's the only way I can learn about my family history.
You say you have a Jewish friend who agrees with you, ask him about his family tree.
