A family from my compound was supposed to move to Lebanon in July - and they cancelled and will stay in Saudi.

I think Israel would have nuked Tehran several times over long before that happens. They have a track record of not sitting around waiting to be bombed to hell.

Maybe the whole reason they are hated is simple jealousy...rather than because it's a Jewish majority state and the heirs of the Nazi loving Mufti Amin Al Husseini, a guest of the Third Reich, don't dig Jews.

It's not about land that's for certain - or we'd see the 900,000 Jews who were ejected all over the middle east (many from places they had lived before Arabs had writing and Islam existed) claiming reparations from the various Arab states

I think the capacity for Government level self-delusion is higher in the wider region than in the country in question.
