If we’re talking millennia, then all of us could easily trace some blood relation back to anywhere in the world. So if my magic conch shell tells me that Ireland or Scotland is somehow divinely ordained to me because “my people” once lived there, I must then have the right to expel whoever happens to be living there now, by any means necessary, and establish my own government? And then proceed to corral those who won’t leave into an open-air prison and reign terror and death upon them as a punishment for refusing to leave? Am I doing this right? I realize that this type of primitive back-and-forth has been going on since the dawn of our species, but I would prefer that my own government not fund and arm one side. Israel doesn’t get along with its neighbors because it doesn’t have to. Uncle Sam, meaning the US taxpayer, is footing the bill. No different that our funding of Saudi Arabia’s slow motion Yemen holocaust. By all means, let them fight it out, but lets remove our thumb from the scales. Let’s see how Israel does in a fair fight, without big brother standing behind it. My guess is they would play nice.
