My point exactly. Jews and Arabs have always fought. So why plonk a new Jewish state into the middle of an Arab neighbourhood? It's asking for trouble.
And I'm not being selective about how far I'm looking back. Perhaps you are.
Did you ever read the Bible or a history book? That's where the ancient tribes of Israel ended up. Muslims invaded Jewish territory and built their monuments on the destroyed remains of Jewish monuments. The Jews were already there when the Romans conquered the entire area and kicked them out. Islam was a late-comer in 610.
Maybe the whole point of plonking Israel down in the midst of the Arabs was to stir up trouble.
