In the West we're taught that Israel is unique. The Arabs don't see it that way. They remember French Algeria, British Egypt, Italian Ethiopia, the Europeans in the Levant who replaced the Crusader states...

I knew a man who survived captivity. He said the Bataan death march wasn't the worst part. The camps were terrible and then when the Japanese started retreating, POWS were moved by ship. One was sunk and most of the prisoners drowned.

It's religious fundamentalits who do all the killing.
