Myth?

<For instance, the idea that Israel is being driven into the sea by it's Arab neighbors. That the Palestinians, with help, are going to do that. Not history, that's a myth, but a myth worth billions upon billions of American aid.

Myth?? The Arabs actually tried it in 1948, 1967, and 1973. Maybe you were reading comics in history class. I have seen nothing that indicates Arabic attitudes have changed, even if they have been discouraged from further attempts.

1948

1967

1973
