And we have a winner!

And a loser. Jews lived there in relative peace until the Zionists came with their big ideas. Something like 40 or 60 percent of the founders of Israel were Euro immigrants (too lazy to look it up ). If it weren't for Hitler and Stalin the Holy Land would be out of sight and out of mind. There were even a bunch of Jews is Iraq, also living in peace. External forces have led to the changes.

The right just has more education and money and makes more noise.

There is a whole weeks worth of internet pissing in the last paragraph. I'm not biting.
