Some joyous tidings from Israel

[Jolt]

The only problems have arisen when the surrounding Muslim nations attacked Israel and, as you can tell by this thread, Jews in general.

Wrong. The attacks were a consequence, not a cause. The problems began when the UN created a country where it shouldn't have created, and illegitimately, because by doing so, they'd have to create a bucketload more of countries whose people also want independence. If, instead of Israel, there had been a joint Arab-Jew Palestine, then there would have been no attack. But the jews wanted a country of their own, where they wouldn't have to share power with the arabs.
