It's like a fight between siblings, and "neutral" parents or authority figures are by default going to come down on the side of the younger/weaker sibling, even if the weaker one started the mess.<br /><br />So if "empathy towards the weaker but more desperate sibling" is unhelpful, what's to be done?<br /><br />I have to admit, I'm more afraid of Israel than I am of the Palestinians, that is to say, Israel has nuclear weapons, and so they have a much greater ability cause trouble in the world. So the older sibling not only is stronger traditionally, but he's paranoid about his own survival so much that he's ready to kill millions of innocent people with a nuclear attack on a large city in Iran to make sure he never loses the ultimate loss.<br /><br />The ultimate threat for Israel might be if the U.S. withdraws our foreign aid and military weapons, and "lets" the wider Arabic/Muslims threaten their existence.<br /><br />I imagine there are perhaps 25% of Jews in Israel who, if real war came, they'd rather leave than fight, and another 25% would be willing to flee on a long protracted war that systematically destroyed the economy of Israel, so in the end what you'll have is the most militant and paranoid Jews standing for their homeland, and who would rather die than surrender, and also would rather kill millions, rather than surrender their ambitions.<br /><br />Maybe its Karma, the oppressed Jews, persecuted and murdered in the millions eventually create children who are willing to kill millions with the press of a button.<br /><br />I wonder if the trade would be worth it? If the militant Jews had their death ritual, and killed millions of Muslims with their nuclear weapons in a final blaze of glory, would that finally end the curse of the Jews, and then they could become ordinary humans again, sinful and unworthy by their pride and arrogance?<br /><br />Then the remaining Jews could see what hatred creates, and go there no more.<br /><br />Of course then who is going to save the Muslims from themselves, after millions of their tribe are murdered? I don't suppose their version of God has the compassion to forgive their enemies and let go?

Remember, those other Arabs told them to flee before they attacked Israel in '48, and none but the Jordanians took them in in '49)(and threw them out in '70).
