     OK, fine.  How many Jews are there in the world today?  According to this,
then, there are only 13.5 million Jews.  Somehow, this doesn't jive.  According
to a 1980 census, there were 5,781,000 Jews in the United States, or about
2.5% of the population.  This calculates to approximately 7,719,000 (+ -) Jews
in the rest of the world, including Israel.  If there really are only 13.5 
million total, as your figure indicates, why, then, is the US government such a 
strong supporter of the Israeli?  Why is the Isreali State being given such a
disproportionate amount of foriegn aid, loans, and outright grants?  It would 
make far more sense to side with a billion Moslems and a billion Christians.

     I maintain that this is a perfect case of the tail wagging the dog.

     What's next?  Will Israeli want admission to the Union?
