Israel

[Tetro Kornbluth]

I liked our previous environs just fine.

This reminds me of a government class I had back in high school.  The teacher insisted that it was a class about "goverment" not "politics"... so I raised my hand and said, "So this is a course abotu government in theory, then?"

Any discussion of the Middle East without Israel is just a discussion in theory.

.... which is one of the big problems of the Middle East.

To be honest, I can't think of a good reason, it's just the far-right pushing their imperialist goals.

And what has made you come to that conclusion?

The boundaries of Isreal are nowhere near where they were originally supposed to be.

As Tory said that could mean anything. The original Zionists actually wanted a state which would iirc stretch as far as the Euphrates - In modern day Iraq.

Why? Jews are no longer persecuted anywhere in the West.

In fact, that brings up an interesting question: why would anyone want to move to Israel?

We are talking about the Early Zionists here. And the area stretching from the Euphrates is the historic "Abrahamic" Israel or Canaan iirc. Abraham coming from Ur in Mesopotamia itself iirc.
