Actually there were, just not as many as their are today. The mass migration
to Israel was prompted by the Holocaust, they simply wanted to live there.
The Arabs on the other hand did not want new neighbors that followed a
different religion than their own. The Arabs, by the way, were conquered by
the British long before the Jews arrived. The Arabs gave the Jews a hostile
reception a hostile reception and inter-ethnic conflict broke out. The Jews
were few in number and so were the Arabs, so it wasn't a question of conflict
over limited resources. The Arabs were simply intolerant. Now I believe that
both the Jews and the Arabs had a historical right to live there, just as
Native Americans have a right to live in North America. If the Arabs and Jews
could just manage to get along, there would be no worldwide reprecussions,
but being typically human bigots they started attacking the Jews.

This now takes us to the Truman Administration. It turns out that Franklin D.
Roosevelt was an antisemite, he knew about the holocaust a long time ago, but
chose to keep this information secret while all along turning away Jewish
refugees seeking assylum from Nazi Germany and causing the deaths of
thousands who were forced back into Germany. When Harry S. Truman became
aware of the past Administration's misdeeds, he chose to make amends and
supported a homeland for the Jews. The Arabs have been sponsoring attacks on
Jews for 53 years, and this war has taken precidence even over fighting
dictators like Sadaam Hussein, and developing business relationships with
neighboring countries. It seems the whole Arab world is overly concerned with
the Palistinians, even when those same Palistinians rallied around Sadaam
Hussien when he attacked Kuiwait and Saudi Arabia. That the Saudis are still
concerned with the plight of the Palistinians even after they sided with
their enemy just goes to show how demented they are. Frankly I tired of the
spoiled brat Palistinians who can do no wrong in the eyes of the Arab World.
The Arabs should just learn to live with the Israelis and thats that, they
should also learn to be more tollerant like Southern Whites have toward black
people and the rest of the world should stop making excuses for Arab bigoty.
People tend to look down on the Klu Klux Klan, but when it comes to Arabs,
they make allowances for them and continue to buy their oil. This is
excusible because Arabs are nonwhite, nonchristian and poor, if the were
Christian white Americans this sort of behavior would be looked down upon.
I'm open minded about alot of things, but I'm intollerant of intollerance. I
do not excuse Arab culture for their discrimination against women, nor for
their blind hatred of all Jews, and to a lesser extent Americans.
