Little Hawk, If Israel is interested in dominating the Middle East, why have they not attempted to take over Iraq or Iran or Saudi Arabia or any of the other oil producing states? Why did they give Egypt back her oil fields as part of the Sinai accords?

There seems to be a general problem on this thread. Why does Israel fight so hard for a piece of land? Prior to 1947, Israel had no nation. It was a landless people, similar to the Romany and was treated similarly. It seems that the world does not respect a people without a country. This is very similar to the original laws relating to voting here in the US and in England. Only people with a certain level of property were allowed to vote. the rest had to like it or lump it.
