Sorry Rick, until your people have been herded into cattle cars after being chased out of their homes all over Europe to be sent to the death camps in astonishing numbers you won't have the requisite empathy to comprehend why Jews need their own state and will do whatever it takes to keep it safe. Further, Heinbecker's assertion that the world is unanimous in their support of this resolution means nothing. In advanced democracies we do not subject minorities to the whims of the majority, rather, we protect them from such whims with the rule of law. Israel must provide this protection for themselves as history has proven that the world will not protect the lives of Jews. This has been true since before the Reformation and continues to be true today. Europe is leaning ever farther to the extreme right, as evidenced by the numerous reports of anti-Semitic acts n Hungary, Poland, France, Germany and elsewhere. Israel will always be a safe haven for Jews and rightly so.
