Greg has put up many dozens of posts on his opinion that the world would

And I still do. The people in that region just see this as another
crusade where Europeans invade and try to impose their religion on the
area. They remember that in every other case, eventually they repelled
the invasion

I understand that the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire were
capable of holding down the violence and there was a small Jewish
presence living in peace but they were not the government. This is
not a Jewish presence, it is a conquest where the muslims feel they
are excluded from the same land they have been defending from European
crusades for 900 years.

It still has nothing to do with ISIS

Gosh, what will Richard say when he sees that you *admit* to what I said
you were doing, in the many, many times you advocated pushing the
Jews in Israel into the sea?

I don't fault the Jews for wanting Israel as *their* homeland again.
Thousands of years of history in which the Christians of the world
slaughtered Jews made the Jews wary of Christian promises. Besides,
there was nothing to go back to in Europe after WW II for the Jews,
certainly not in Germany or Poland, where their former Christian
neighbors blamed them for the downfall of the Third Reich.

As for the Muslims, well, they can't even defend themselves from each
other.
