Israel/Palestine

Take a look at a map of the Middle East. There are just under 10 million people living in Israel, of whom about 70% (7 million) are Jewish. Twenty percent (2 million) of Israelis are Arab.

The total population of the Middle East is about 450 million, and almost all of those are Muslim.

Let that sink in. There are seven million Jews in Israel and they are surrounded by hundreds of millions of Muslims, most of whom live in brutal dictatorships that openly call for the eradication of all Jews. Look up the number of Jewish people living in Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Iran, etc. I'll give you a hint: it's almost zero.

The entire population of Jews in the world is under 16 million. Most nations in the world have essentially zero Jewish citizens. There are about 7 million Jews in Israel, about 6 million in the U.S., and the other 3 million are scattered here and there.

The total population of the world is about 8 billion people. Jews make up 0.001 percent of the current human population.

In the Middle East, Jews make up about 0.02 percent of the population. Many of the other 98% people in the Middle East want Israel wiped from the map (from the mountains to the sea) and they often say they want all Jews dead. This is not recent. It's the reason Israel was made a Jewish homeland. Jews living in the Middle East were being massacred during and after WWII. The Axis genocide of Jews occurred among Hitler's allies in the Middle East, not just in Europe.

Ask yourself how the U.S. would react if we were in this situation. I'll give you a hint. We invaded two countries after 9/11 - an attack that was much much smaller in scale than what Israel experiences every year.

I don't agree with Israel's approach because I think it's doomed to fail, but I can certainly understand why many Israelis keep electing hardliners like Netanyahu. Look at how many MAGATS we have in the U.S. with basically none of the provocation.

Please look up the facts yourself and check my math.
