So, Jim and Greg_F and Beardedbruce, have you ever been to Israel and Palestine? Maybe you're in the learning stage, too, and just don't realize it? .............I am a seasoned world traveler

Hubris again,Joe, so I repeat:

I'm sure that you as a tourist [ or any tourist would ] know much better the real state of things than those who have spent years or their entire lives there.

I suppose at some point you intend to actually speak to the points I've raised rather than hurl insults and make lame "jokes"?

Or perhaps not.
