My friend, you have a gross misunderstanding of what being a Jew is. We are not colonialists. We are a nation which happens to practice a religion which is the outgrowth of our national experience. Israel is the land in which we originated, from which we were mostly - not completely - exiled, and which we re-established and agreed to share) in 1948. It is other nations in that part of the world which never existed before (Jordan, Iraq Saudi Arabia, and others)that came into being for the first time. Learn the facts before you start throwing stones, my friend.
