Well lets see where the guilt is from. At end of WWI the Jews were promised a Palestinian State that did not happen as promised. Followed by 5 million plus butchered in concentration camps and when the survivors fled to Palestinian after the WWII the British jailed them until INGUN blew the King David Hotel down around their ears and the Brits took off. Then the surrounding Arab nations attacked the new Jewish state which somehow kicked their asses.

From that point on both Arab and Jew have treated the other with absolute total disregard of reasonable conduct. In fact my favorite statement is the Arabs and Jews deserve each other. We used the state of Israel's Air Force to lock up the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the Cold War as they did not have aircraft carriers and in a confrontation a CIA report said of that " if the Russian fleet attacked ever, it would have a very short and very lively life span " So we armed Israel one to help them, two it was a very inexpensive answer to Russian naval power.

Bottom line? In the 1930's through WWII the world turned their backs on the horrors inflicted on European Jews knowing what was happening. The guilt drove the solution and the view of the present state of Israel that never again would it allow the Jewish population to be slaughtered and NEVER would they depend on others to defend them. Right of wrong those lovely little European nations that enslaved peoples all over the world and in two wars killed millions started the problem then ran away, they do that a lot.

The Jews and Arabs are both the children of Abraham and they must learn to stop killing each other before they really wipe each other out.
