If Israel did not exist,

it would have been invented. It's not a principal reason for violence, it's the main outlet for hatred. If it weren't there, some other outlets would have to be found. In fact, the hatred reaches such proportions that Israel is no longer sufficient to serve as the only outlet. US is getting some action. Indonesia. And now, even UN. I wonder how long before France feels the heat.
