This is about Israel not the US. Of course the US has blood on its
hands, I never said they didnt. How you can not see this as a Holly war is
beyond me.
Peace in the Middle East? Not anytime soon.
"The earliest known mention of the name 'Israel', probably referring to
a group of people rather than to a place, is the Egyptian Merneptah
Stele dated to about 1210 BCE. For over 3,000 years, Jews have held the
Land of Israel to be their homeland, both as a Holy Land and as a
Promised Land. The Land of Israel holds a special place in Jewish religious
obligations, encompassing Judaism's most important sites — including the
remains of the First and Second Temple, as well as the rites concerning
those temples. Starting around 1200 BCE, a series of Jewish kingdoms
and states existed intermittently in the region for over a millennium.
Recent archeological evidence suggests that the kingdoms of King David
and King Solomon may have existed."
