The Jewish Lobby

Kinda, but not quite.

Sorry. Should have typed "like the roads the Roman Empire built?", but I hope you understand the point. Instead of taking the highway, they build them.

But apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Agreed. It is completely justified Islamic, if not Arabic, et al, moral code to recover "lost" land. It's not too different from anyone else's views, really

Islam was used for anti-Jewish rhetoric against the Zionists, but it didn't play that large a role: the root of the conflict was between Arabs (not necessarily Muslims) and Jews. Of course, such people as Hajj Amin al-Husayni (who has also been portrayed as much more of an extremist than he actually was) used Islamic concepts to justify anti-Jewish raids and killings.

In any case, the fact that the Arab side was so divided would even further stress the point that this wasn't as clear-cut as Muslims versus Jews. In fact, there was no central command, there was not a clear strategy and the goals of King Abdullah of Transjordan were completely different from that of the Egyptians and the Iraqis, to the point that in the field, Abdullah's Arab Legion encountered more hostility from the Egyptians than from the Jews.

To make it clear that this wasn't a "good guys vs bad guys" kind of conflict.

Thanks, I guess. We already know this.
