This article which has caused so many comments is typical of stalin.com's ugly bias against Israel.
The first thing you learn in statistics and architecture is SCALE. What is the size of the thing we are discussing and how does it compare with evrything else around it?
Native American reservations make up 2.3% of the USA. Israel is a tiny speck, far less than .5% of the Middle East. You could fit over ten New Jerseys into the the land mass of our reservations and you could fit only one Israel, West Bank and all, into one single New Jersey.
Israel was born in the blood of its citizen soldiers and many of her civilians as Arab armies swarmed in after the UN approved partition in 1948.
Holocaust prevention included taking in and temporarily sheltering Bosnian Muslims when they were being slaughtered in large numbers under the watchful eyes of UN "Peace Keepers."
Israel was the first country in the ME to give all women, including Muslim women the vote. I thought they had that right in Lebanon for a very long time, but I guess not.
It boggles my mind the way leftists line up so passionately behind a culture which degrades women and cynically murders their own and others' children. It must be some kind of mental illness thing. Have they ever listened to Ayaan Hirsi Ali and others who have rejected this culture of endless hatreds, murder, squalor and death?
Is it that leftists are permanently mad at anything and everthing which cannot be crammed into their imaginary, "progressive," pipe dream world, and they embrace other militants who also passionately reject reality and who also insist on creating an impossible reality of their own?
Both leftoids and Islamic Fascists engage in a mad dance with suicide.
