Pumps' Perplexities

For the last 4 thousand years of recorded history people have
been fighting for a piece of land known today as Israel......Some
60 years ago it was called Palestine and 2000 years ago
Judea.........

This hunk of rock and beach, now and for all of history has
been the eastern end of the Medterranean and therefore
a vital area of world trade and money.......In fact it's waters
got so polluted from propulation and commerce that no
one wanted to eat the shell fish from its waters........

Well this piece of land is no longer important for the seafaring
crowd.....Now it has become a quest of many religions of the
world that say, "I was here first" or "I own it because I
kicked you out".......

It seems that the media people keep tabs on how many people
die for something......Let's go back some 4000 years and try
to find out how many people have died, from all nations and
beliefs, for this little piece of waterfront property, small than
the size of New Jersey......Pumps
