Both the United States and Israel are examples of historical EXCEPTIONALISM ?


Where is the scientific historical evidence that Jews are and were uniquely oppressed among the peoples of the world ? They just deserve their own EXCEPTIONAL state - no matter who was there first ?

Will young American soldiers and sailors soon be dying to make the world safe for Greater Israel - a worthy partner of American imperialism and the " Old Europe " New Colonialism in the Middle East ?
Image result for Israel -the new South Africa ?
