Hussain - that is some exaggeration!
I love Israel.
But if I hated Israel and was in charge of both Iran and Pakistan,
(even without the rest of the Arab countries),
Israel would have no chance but a miracle from God.
Do you know how many people live in Israel?
Do you know how truly tiny it is?

Also, did you know that Israel twice offered to do that - to make Palestine possible?
Once, when the Jews accepted partition, and two, in 1968 when Israel offered to get out of the areas it had just conquered in return for peace?
Both of those offers, the mere acceptance of which could have led to the creation of Palestine in 1948 or 1967,
were denied. By the Arabs, not the Jews.
Did you know these things?
There is a lot to empathize with in the Palestinian story, but it is just not as simple as your question.

That is a very big subject wrapped up in a very short question!

If only the small countries were free to work things out between themselves,
without interference from their larger neighbors...
we'd have peace between them already.
That's what i think.
