Well, except that the rest of the region wants them dead...

There were some protesters on campus today with signs and a banner. The people were walking around campus yelling that the U.S. should stop giving military aid to Israel. They also had people with them handing out pamphlets with info about the "atrocities" that Israel has done to the Palestinians, and one of these guys happened to run into me.
Him: Do you want some info about what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians?
Me: Don't you mean keeping them in their place?
H: The Palestinians were there before the creation of Israel.
M: Yeah, well Europe pretty well told the Jews they didn't want 'em, so we had to put them somewhere.
H: I don't think you're getting the point, this is about human rights.
M: I don't think you guys are getting the point. If the United States stops giving military aid to Israel, then every country around there will take the opportunity to kill every Jew they can find. How about those human rights? I tell you what- you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first. It ain't gonna happen. Good day.
