Yes, but my point is that he must be Jewish and as I was saying before, earlier last month or whenever, there's a lot of Jewish background people in America who have very good reasons to support Israeli's in the homeland and have no love lost for Palestinians.

The incident referred to in my post was well before the establishment of Israel and the "Arabs" mentioned would become the Palestinians, this conflict has been going on for thousands of years.

Yes it has - I was about to add to my post when grandkids/greatgrandkids arrived so couldn't.

That's the thing about the three Abrahamic religions, they may preach peace but they are also  very swift to resort to war against those who are in some way 'other'. That instinct (to fight against those who are different)  might once, in the very early days of our ancestors, have been  a matter of self preservation in that those who were different to their particulat group may not be trustworthy.

I remember reading about the discovery of an ancient village in the Alps where they found the mass grave of the original inhabitants of the village, who had been slaughtered by people who then buried them & took over their village.
We're a warlike species, & probably will be until we learn to better control that side of our nature - if we ever do.
