Yet another state, already beaten and battered from decades of civil war, infighting and Islamization, teeters like the rest. Only Israel’s representative democracy remains thriving and vibrant, and financially, and a beacon to the region and to Europe. And to think that there are morons out their that call for its destruction, wanting yet another Arab majority regime in its place. Unreal.
