situation in Darfur, or possibly the invasion of East Timor in Indonesia, or maybe what happened in "East Pakistan" - Bangladesh?

More than 2,000,000 people - Christians and Animists primarily, have been rendered homeless in Darfur, hundreds of thousands killed. The Sudan, as I'm sure you know, is a member of the Arab League.

Between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people were killed when Muslim Indonesians invaded Christian East Timor. 3,000,000 people died in the violence in Bangladesh.

The people of Israel are merely trying to survive. The Middle East is now almost completely judenrein; since 1948 ancient Jewish communities throughout the Middle East have been persecuted and expelled. They and their descendants are now the majority of Israel's citizens. More than a million Israeli Arabs are citizens as well. The remnants of European Jewry, decimated by the Holocaust, found a home here, as did victims of Soviet oppression.

Yet in spite of all the wars and the terror and the constant threats of extinction, the Israelis have created a vibrant, multicultural society.

I think she and her people deserve a little more support than these snide and cruel comments.
