The only fair solution to that mess would be a common state for Palestinians and Israelis of whatever religion. The Brits have forced peoples that are much more different from each other into one and the same country, just think of Nigeria etc. In my view Jews have no right to their own state, the Basques and countless other peoples and tribes don't have theirs, either.

And what do we do when the Arabs come calling for possession of the Iberian peninsula?

What does that have to do with anything? In most of those countries there are lots of other ethnic groups as well. Most people in Northern Africa are not Arab at all but Berber. The Sudanese are not Arabs, either. Nor the majority of the Egyptians to my knowledge. All you see on that map is the Arabic-SPEAKING world. And even that not exclusively.

it shows the huge threat Israel is to her neighbors.

Lets give Florida back to the Spaniards, Texas back to the Mexicans (PLEASE!). The Palestinians backed Hitler in WWII, who BTW, LOST.

They're all Muslim controlled countries. And BTW, Israel is far more ethnically diverse than most other Arab nations. Heck, Israel has 13 Arabs on it's Parliament. How many Jews are there in all those Arab nations governments? One as far as I know.

It's worse than that. At least those areas were part of Mexico. The Arabs never had "Palestine". Today's "Palestinians" are mostly descendants of Arab migrants who came to Palestine in search of jobs that were created, ironically, by the Jewish agricultural and industrial revival of the area in the late 1800's and early 1900's. They are no different culturally, linguistically, and religously from their 300 million Arab brethren. (Unfortunately, their morality is just as deprived).

In terms of morality Jews and Arabs are not far apart, after all their books are quite similar, same evil god... Maybe that is why they love each other so much

13 of?

Anyway, regarding the title, I find such statements problematic. If Jews can say that, everybody else can also make up a story and claim such things. Where would that end...
