This is pretty off-topic, and I dislike mixing miscellaneous politics into cryonics, but this kind of crap really irritates me. 1. The Arab hatred of Israel and the Jews did not begin in 1967. That war--and the others before and after--was the RESULT of Arab hatred, not the cause. 2. The suicide/homicide attacks are not the result of bad living conditions. The 9/11 bombers were mostly Saudis, led by a billionaire, from a country not poor and not occupied. The Japanese Kamikaze pilots were not poor or occupied either. The Palestinian kids who kill themselves and murder others do it because that insanity is glorified by their culture and encouraged by a large majority of their people.
