That's a pretty good point, Gould. But how many Hindus live in this
country?

I have no idea.

I found two numbers, 766,000 in 2001 and 1.1 million.

But because 10-15% (? guesstimate) of our population is of Jewish extraction in
the US we are somehow compelled to take the Israeli side at all times? I don't
think so. We need to recognize that there are injustices on *both* sides in
this thing. Nobody can honestly claim moral superiority.

The Jewish population in the US is somewhere between 5.2 and 6.7 million
and declining due to low birthrates.
