34. Breaking bread
Israel has done more than its part to break bread with its neighbors. It made peace with enemies in Jordan and Egypt. It has numerous agreements with Turkey, another Muslim nation. But there is only so far Israel can go to accommodate its enemies.

No, disagreement doesn't constitute hatred. It depends on how the disagreement is worded or what it is about.

Israel and Jews don't insist on "being 'victimized' by history," they were. It happened.

Of course there is widespread anti-Semitism in Europe. Hell, I think it was 19% of Germans polled believe a recent book that Mosad was involved in 9-11. Gotta love those Germans...

The emnity between Israel and Islam is, in the case of Israel, survival. If one group attacks you for 55 years (longer if you go back before Israel was founded), then you certainly develop your own hatreds.

I didn't say the bulk of the UN is Muslim. I pointed out that a bloc of Muslim, Arab, oil-needy and anti-Semitic nations easily controls all world bodies.
