Let me tell you how it really is...
When Mark Twain visited the holy land in the late 1800s, he found it empty, basically a ghost town. There were a few nomads riding around on camels and a few dozen people living in Jerusalem and a couple of other towns, but that was basically it. The major influx of slammites came AFTER the zionists moved in and made something out of the area, and there were jobs.
But the best way to view the thing is to look at a map. You see this gargantuan swath of territory which is the slammite world stretching from the wall of China to the west coast of Africa and 30 - 40 degrees of latitude up and down, and then a tiny sliver of land called Israel which you have to know precisely where to look for to even find, and the world has heard an unremitted crybaby act for the last 60 years over the tiny sliver.
As if they couldn't find places to put the fricking slammites which the UN and its minions have kept holed up in "refugee camps(TM) for the last 60 years.
After sixty years, there is no such thing as a "refugee camp" or a refugee; those people are living in UN concentration camps and they're basically stuck there because they're such a bunch of a$$holes that they're universally hated and any other slammites which had to live close to them would exterminate them in less than a month.
