Even before Islam,Jews had lived in various places like Mecca, Medina and regions like modern day Israel. When Islam arrived, Muslims drove them out of their ancestral lands because Jews then were nice and naive.But Jews survived so much hardship, persecution, injustice and violence for so many years. Now that they have regained their land in a small area of Middle- East by creating Israel, they have every right to exist as a nation as such to defend themselves. It is totally rightful and fair to create Israel for long-suffering Jews in their ancient land.

The only deplorable thing is that Islam never wants to share even a small piece of land in the Middle East for these people it had driven out. Islam wants to claim all of the land in the world to Allah.It will try to vanquish not only Israel and Jews, but also all the non-Muslims of the world in the long term.This is not a false assumption but a real situation we all are facing now.

Unlike Islam and Muslims, Jews do not have sinister schemes and global strategies to conquer all the non-Jews and non-Jewish lands.They do not have huge amounts of petro-dollars to distribute among Jews for aggressively pursuing the global conquest. We must all be aware of this fact as a truth.Therefore they deserve our support for peaceful co-existence among international community.
