Came across this most interesting article at time when the
US seems to be facing a world-wide threat from terrorism
that, although it hasn't reached the level that Israel has been
facing for years, is being used to strip its citizens of their
most cherished freedoms and to wage war on the world for
all practical purposes.

Of interest too is that it somewhat addresses the claim that
the Swiss were complicit, to a degree, in stripping the Jews
of their deposited wealth.

The swiss were famous as soldiers of fortune throughout europe during the rennaissance.

they truelly don"t bother with politics / religion, it's money first and money last. Hey allmost like us Dutchmen, only difference is that Dutch people gladly provide weapons and infrastructire to wage war ( and make a good profit from it) while at the same time we have a big mouth about human rights, at least the swiss are no hypocrites....

Before you criticize Israel, what has your country done in the past? Driving out native peoples? Oppression? Genocide? Slavery? Invading for profit?

Israel has been pretty benevolent in its short life compaired to most.

sadly when the middle east goes up in flames the rest of the world is going to suffer as well.

May be it is akin to nature's forest fire...and hopefully birth of a new civilization....in the middle east.
