No, I'm sorry, I don't. Please explain it to me. I do not see how an event that took place in Germany has any bearing on their regional policy. Last time I checked, there weren't many Nazi's hiding out in the middle east. I think its time Israel got over the Holocaust. It was tragic, it was appaulling, it was barbaric, but it was also 60+ years ago and in another part of the world.

No, I'm sorry, I don't. Please explain it to me. I do not see things that way at all. I see the Arabs being upset becaise their homes were taken away from them. They have been displaced. Unless you have been displaced I don't think you'll ever understand the feeling of dispare. I sympathize with anyone who was forced out of their home and harbor ill will against those who forced them out. I think this ill will is what sets the policy, not the holocaust.
