Say it ain't so, LMAO!!!!!!!
If you understand history of Persia and Israel since 600 BC and the jewish community in the Middle East since that time, this should be no real surprise at all.
Eygpt is another potential strong jewish presense especially around Alexandria. Even Alexandria's influence on early christian thought not to mention the influence of Eygptian ideals of early monotheism and the relationship of the 10 Commandments with the Eygptian Book of the Dead as influencing the departing Israelites. These people are all a lot closer related than we want to realize and much of the conflict is more about a family squabble than anything else. It's a old biblical story.
To bad foreign policy and political motivations are driven by Sunday School stories and not logic and common sense!
