Your points about some of the other countries the USA backs (specially Saudi Arabia...and Egypt?) are well taken, robomatic, and I agree those countries are cynically using the Palestinians instead of helping them...as they could if they so decided.

I wouldn't say that the Israelis ARE like Nazis in every sense...obviously they are not as extreme. I'd say, though, that any group which becomes extremely militant about its own cultural identity to the point where it is pitted in an endless battle against other cultural groups is in danger of becoming Nazi-like as time goes by. That's a problem that could affect both the Zionists and their most determined enemies such as Iran, Syria, Hamas, the Saudis, Hezbollah...

It's dangerous when you base your activites around a clash of cultures. It doesn't generally produce much reason, just a lot of heat.

Anyway, you made a lot of good points there.
