 Friday’s International Holocaust Memorial Day was marked by the murder of 7 leaving a synagogue in E.Jerusalem. In Gaza, the murders were celebrated with fireworks and the handing out of sweets. What sort of people would do this? Unfortunately, all Arab nations bring up their children to hate and attack Jewish people, so perpetuating the longest racism in living history. If those living in Gaza stopped attacking Israel, there would be peace. If Israel stopped defending itself, it would be wiped out. A century ago, there was a thriving Jewish population in N. African countries, living harmoniously with their neighbours, but they were forcefully ejected. Today there are none. Why no global outcry? In 1948 Balfour guaranteed a two state solution, Israel and Jordan. No-one criticises Jordan's 'right to exist'.  Israel and its full capital Jerusalem existed 4,000 years ago, 2000 years before the birth of Islam.  There has never been a nation called Palestine - it is the name of the whole area from Jordan to the Mediterranean. The people currently living in Gaza largely migrated there from Jordan. Proper education for all is needed in Gaza urgently. It's about time the long-suffering Jewish people were left to live in peace in their tiny, historic land. It's long overdue.
