Is this list supposed to make it clear to all of us why Israel was such a good idea?
Or is it just supposed to make us more sympathetic, somehow?
If anything, this certainly suggests that there may be a wealth of historical records available to help us understand why this happened.
Or would the maker of this list prefer that we never solve the mystery, and that the list keep getting longer and longer?
A lot of us know what dark days are like. Why not solve the problem rather than trying to survive with a chip on one's shoulder?
