I don't know what country he's from but obviously living in Amsterdam...cheap, plentiful and legal.
The Jews, throughout history, have had some problems in Rome, Greece, Persia, Iberia, Russia, Poland, lots of places, for whatever reasons. Most likely, just being different was enough.
So after WWII, it sounded like a good idea to give them some worthless desert in the middle of nowhere. Out of sight, out of mind and out of everyone's hair.
Unfortunately, there probably isn't a worse place they could have created the Jewish State..... in the midst of the most unreasonable, intolerant, backward, oppressive, savages on Earth. A people that had obliterated their once thriving, prosperous civilization and wants to destroy everyone else's too.
The Jews would have been better off living among the cannibal headhunters in the South Pacific.
Ah, 20-20 hindsight...too late now, they are where they are and I doubt they would move willingly even of they had a place to move to.
How will it play out?
Will they be able to negotiate a true, live and let live, peace settlement ?
Will they reach a stalemate across a heavily guarded DMZ, like Korea?
Will it require the UN (or equivalent) to keep them apart permanently.
Will one side win, ie, eliminate the opposition?
Will it keep festering and spreading until the world is two armed camps?
Will this lead to the elimination of civilization, as we know it?
Should I hit on Joe's wife before the end comes?
