Why do you believe this? English and Boers are in the minority in South Africa
now; are they oppressed? Are the English oppressed in Kenya? There is no long
history of the "oppression of Jews" in the Arab states. The historical record
is quite different from what it is in Christian Europe, the home of the pogrom
and the Holocaust. Whatever you are referring to is the RESPONSE to the
imperialist-backed Zionist enterprise.

The Zionists take what you said one little tiny step farther. They say, "We
have to be a majority in the state, otherwise the Arabs would oppress us. But
we are a minority in the region, so we have to have complete military,
political, and economic hegemony over the region. Otherwise the Arabs will
oppress our little state within the region." You are on the edge of "proving"
that the only way Jews in Israel can ensure their own survival is to oppress
the whole Arab world forever! I believe this is not so, however.
