"Its just a coincidence that the government is comprised entirely of members of the Jewish faith."--GregF

Mr. F, you are entitled to all the biased opinions you care to spew. You may not, however, aver as the truth a lie. As of 2011, the Israeli
Knesset had 12 Arab members, of varying religions and backgrounds, out of a total membership of 120--10%!

Just for comparison, the current U.S. Congress (combined Senate and House) comprise 36 of 535 members who are Jewish--less than 7%! Of those 36, 35 are Democrats (one actually being an independent who caucuses with the Dems). One of these Jews definitely will not be returning for the next Congress; frankly, I don't care whether congress has no Jews or all Jews, although I would hope there would be fewer Democrats.
