following its creation, the iraeli authority used any means to rid itself of any unwanted inhabitants of the area in order to make room for a flood of refugees from various unfriendly nations. populated to a great extent by those fleeing persecution in the soviet union and eastern europe and supported by aid from the west, their sins were widely overlooked. amidst the paranoia of the cold war they thrived and slowly grew to become the strong arm of the west in the midst of a culture that western minds couldn't quite seem to grasp.

my neutrality concerning israel is nearly complete, but considering that the nation was born of guilt, bred on fear and has used nearly terrorist tactics in order to survive, i can't help but be suspicious.
