Tell me, do you see the Islamist-Pinko-"Secularist" axis demanding the return of the Northern Territories and PoK to mainly-Hindu India...? Why not? Because, even when grabbed illegally, it's irreversible, a fait accompli...?

In which case, Israel, too, is a fait accompli. Besides which, the Jews are a nation since Biblical times; for over 3,300 years, Jerusalem -- founded by King David -- has been their capital. Jews pray facing Jerusalem; Arabs pray with their backs to it. There was no such thing as "Palestinian" before 1967, when Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians, Lebanese and Saudis living in Israel began identifying themselves as "Palestinian." Why should Indians -- if, indeed, they are only Indian -- seek Israel's destruction...?

Europe's Jews went like lambs to Hitler's death camps, I never could understand why. But when they finally rose from their inertia, boy, how the lambs roared! I have unadulterated admiration for Israelis and groups like the AJC, and no bullshit angle of "communal harmony" can shake that. On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of Israel. On May 15, the War of Independence against the armies of Egypt, Syria, Tranjordan, Lebanon and Iraq began. On July 20, 1949, the war was formally ended -- with the Arabs winding up with less territory than before. For a tiny country to crush the surrounding Islamic nations, face internal jihad, and yet become developed -- it's an unparalled achievement. India yet can't surmount Pakistan alone. Guess, thanks to which ideology...
