Why do the gentiles rage?

[Jon Ford]

Mike--yes, you are right on this--- Sartre is a case in point-- when the 
Jews were down and out he and other European leftists supported them, and 
Sartre wrote about  the evils of anti-semitism; later on , after Israel 
became a powerful state armed to the teeth, the Jews were demonized. Here's 
a good what if scenario: what if Israel just blew up its walls, junked its 
tanks and barbed wire, opened its borders wide--- how long would Israel 
survive then?
