<B>Do they really have more resources? I know that when the Jews first returned, they had the upper hand because they had been educated in Europe and had their technology and support.

For example, American slaves, didn't have access to the bombs and rockets and other terrorist capabilities that Hamas, etc have, so they really couldn't create the type of uprising we have in the Middle East.
Thanks for the clarification Major. I was a little confused. I need to quit posting and finish that book though (From Beirut to Jerusalem, by Freidman). It's really interesting (and I have to write a paper over it)!
Though I do think Tree is a tad bit Arab-phobic (I didn't want to say racist) that was a nice article.
