#4 I suspect he's generalizing considering how mixed Israel is.

#5 If Israel did 1/10 of what it accused off, we'd rule the entire Middle East long hence.

#6 Paleos are like having a "meth lab" next door. Bad neighbors and you never know when it's going to blow up.

#7 Israel's worst problem is that it is saddled with a "Charlie Brown" attitude, famously called "wishy-washy" by his more assertive playmate Lucy Van Pelt. It is a recipe for disaster in the short, medium, and long term.

Perhaps the best individual example of this is Britain's Captain William Bligh, whose mutiny aboard the HMS Bounty was caused by just such an attitude.

First and foremost, Bligh wanted, truly craved, for his crew to like him. But he also wanted their respect. And he vacillated between the two unpredictably. One minute he was kind and generous, which made him feel weak, so he would then behave in a cruel and arbitrary manner, which made him feel guilty.

His inconstancy drove his crew bonkers. As Israel's does to its enemies. Were Israel to just have kicked all the Muslims out in 1948, or 1967, or 1973, by now things would have been much more peaceful.

The Arab pipe dream of owning Jerusalem would be as frivolous as their wanting to own Madrid or Vienna, and any idea of Arabs immigrating to Israel would be out of the question.

#8 The Arab pipe dream of owning Jerusalem would be as frivolous as their wanting to own Madrid or Vienna...

With the current state of Western Europe, that isn't too far fetched. The muzzies already have a good part of Paris, London, Amsterdam and Stockholm.
