7. I believe there is still a tremendous amount of guilt about what happened in WWII.
9:19 AM
I was born in ‘46. I grew up with the stories, true and fiction, the books, the movies etc. That morphed into “the world “ needing to make amends by making sure the Jewish people had a ‘safe’ haven. Sort of allowing the world to work off its guilt. Like most things human we seem to have pushed this story to it’s ridiculous conclusion; that we, as a world, must allow the state of Israel to do whatever it wants to ‘protect’ itself.

Which parts don't you believe? I'm very confused.
