Israelis through Zionism definitely and absolutely provoked the 3/4 century long conflict.

I'm not on board with FSK's premise at all. The Israelis and the Muslims are each deliberately provoking the "end times" scenario in their respective creeds.

I do agree with FSK that it can't be unwound now so may as well treat one side as animals to be slaughtered. Because if Israel won't the Muslims will do so. Six of one half dozen of the other as we say here.

"Oy! We have to be at war right here in this spot!"
