Israel is not so tiny when you consider it is a de facto part of the United States. And special connections to the Christian world, in Europe, etc. I am amazed at how may Jews are on TV, in movies, run media empires, banks, finance, and certian segments of our society.

Over the past 45 years, the Palestinians have managed to build a national name out of nothing. There never was a country called "Palestine" and before 1967 the "Palestinians" were called "Arab refugees". Then their only Nobel Prize winner, Arafat, launched his propaganda campaign to convince the world that where there was previously nothing there was now the nation of "Palestine" and the "Palestinian people". Before 1967, the west bankers were all Jordanians. So "Palestine" is a giant in propaganda, but nothing else. They have no culture of science, research, medicine, or anything else. They do, however, do a darn good job at suicide bombings. However, that doesn't qualify them for anything other than a war crimes trial. You wonder if the Pallies will ever actually copy us Jews and start educating their kids to be professors and not shaheeds...

Leave the "Palestinians" alone, Brian. Otherwise we will soon have to deal with shaheed professors :-P
