Mark, you need to explain the situation in terms they like:
A sovereign area - the Mid-East AKA Palestine etc. - was infiltrated and overrun with illegal immigrants - primarily European Jews - and the area originally overrun with Egyptian immigrants.
Jews - Israelis - are primarily ethnic Semites, as are Arabs.
Jews are primarily a separate religious sect with long standing religious, tribal, and land feuds with the original residents - now known as Arabs/Palestinians.
If it weren't for stupid religious associations, and filthy racism, no one outside of the Middle East would give one iota about any inter-Semitic religious, tribal, and land feuds.
In other words, FK 'em all, let them kill each other and let their respective 'gods' sort them out.
And the Hebrews were there first.”
