furthermore, it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's personal prejudice against
Jews which forced them to find a homeland. He sent boatloads of them away
when they tried to immigrate to the US after the holocaust. Had FDR given
the Jews, say, South Dakota, Israel would be again unnecessary. I think FDR
supported Israel so the Jews wouldn't get South Dakota.
