Gustaf, the thing is Egypt ATTACKED Israel. When Israel took over the Sinai penninsula, that should have been Israel's punishment. The Sinai penninsula is RICH with oil. Israel could have made a fortune. They could have actually benefitted from the war that Egypt, Syria, and several other muslim nations started.

I actually know all of that, but I don't see it affecting my point in any way...also, Israel attacked Egypt in the Suez War.

The only reason why Israel attacked Egypt was because Egypt blocked it's path to the Red Sea and Egypt was harboring Palestinian militants, who attacked Israel from Egyptian territory.

Actually, they were asked to do so by the UK and France...the reason for the war was that the Egypt government decided to confiscate Franco-English shares of the Suez channel.

I know very little, actually... but I'm able to see the situation and who the guilty party actually is.

A quarter of San Francisco's population is Jewish, and although there is not a whole lot of Jewish persecution here, if you drive 15 minutes north to Berkeley, you'll see that violence against pro-israeli Jews (and some not even taking a position!) is not uncommon.
