Yeah Elph they look pretty fat.

I'm sure people would back Israel up if it were on the defensive stance, just struggling to hold invaders at bay from within the confines of the original piece of land given to them by the U.K. Instead they've been invading palestinian lands since nearly the day they got there. Would the middle east be as volatile a region as it is today without Israel there? I don't remember anything big happening involving the muslim world back in World History class since the crusades, and the spaniards pushing muslims back out of the iberian peninsula in the late 1400s... Aside from the fall of the Ottoman Empire and such, but it's not like a civil war threatened the safety of the world as a whole... then again the Ottoman Empire wasn't starting up a Nuclear Program...
