As far as I can see the "Jewish people" support the Israeli State strongly....almost unanimously. I usually keep well clear of this complicated subject, but Jim's continual over-simplifications begin to grate after a while. Without doubt, the State of Israel is under severe pressure, surrounded as it is by Arab Nations who find it impossible to control their own populations.....in saying that, the policy of settlement growth is hardly beneficial to a peaceful outcome. The Arabs practice terrorism on an on-going basis and the Israelis obviously believe that it is in their interests to respond in kind. The conflict could and should have been broughtto a conclusion years ago, but successive corrupt Arab leaders have seen it in theie PERSONAL interests to fan the flames.
