Dean Atcheson, with the U.S. State Deprtment in 1947 said, " Creating Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would imperil not only America but all Western interests in the Near East. "

Even Albert Einstein on the matter of Israel said in a speech, "I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state.” He cautioned about what he forsaw as a disaster waiting to happen by creating an actual state of Israel in land that was inhabited by Palestinans and given authority for governance of such a state.

Held captive in the Midwest but I love San Francisco, black coffee, chardonnay and diet coke. My vice is SF Giants baseball. I'm the poet you are running from.
