A few notes
1. Israel was a block against the Soviet Union in the past. This was worth
America's money at one point.
2. The 5.2 million number has been attacked greatly as being incorrect.
3. Despite Israel's lack of physical exports, its intellectual exports,
especially in the realm of software more than makes up for it. If I remember
correctly, ICQ came from an Israeli company as did many other products that we
use today (under American company names and/or ownership).
4. his saying Hitler wanted to give Jews land is laughable without proof. If
he's going to make such a statement, lets see something to back it up. History
has shown quite a different story.
5. In the past Europe was the largest backer of Israel, especially France. This
changed as the political landscape changed and it was more profitable to Europe
to support the Arabs (mainly their former 'subjects')
6. He doesn't go into any Koranic verses or sources for Muslim hatred of Jews.
Jews rejected Mohammed and that's good enough to kill them.
7. No credit is given to Israel for having a good military, including the best
pilots in the world at the time. Instead, he chalks it up to Arab incompetence.
8. No mention of the fact that Israel has absorbed every refuge sent to it while
the Arab states keep their Palestinian brothers in refuge camps with a minimum
of services or rights.
