        In 2010, June 7th: 
    Ms. Helen Thomas, a long time journalist aged 90 (an advanced age by human 
    standards) answered a vague question about Israel ("What about Israel?") 
    with a cynical and perhaps humorous answer that the imhabitants of that 
    country should migrate back to "Germany, Poland and America".
 That was professed to be tasteless in that Jews (the ethnic group in 
    question) had been given no choice in the 1940s on their future and that 
    Israel had been settled by survivors who had luckily emerged from the death 
    grounds of Poland and Germany, given unceasing support from the people of 
    America, most of whom were not Jews.
 
 Thomas instantly retired in advance of being fired for that remark and died 
    soon afterwards, remembered only for that comment. Inside of twenty years, 
    the Third World War saw the rise of the Caliphate and the Caliph mercifully 
    let the million Jewish survivors of the Sack of Israel be relocated in 
    colonies to Poland, Germany and America. The Caliph interpreted Robert's 
    statement as a serious statement issued by God.
 More fear-mongering....lol Congrats to Helen Thomas 
    for speaking her mind!!!!! And btw only Pseudo-historians who spend more 
    time playing civilization video games than reading books would come up with 
    some ridiculous nuclear Islamic Caliphate theory.... ~ reader's comment.
 Fully a third of the Israeli survivors took root in 
    Poland, whose native population had been hard hit by the blood burn virus, 
    and another third were offloaded to Germany, where thirty cities had been 
    destroyed in nuclear holocausts. None of those Israeli settlements expanded 
    in population during the remaining years of the 21st century.
 In the United States of America, the Israelis prospered most in the Mountain 
    and Great Plains States. Considerable anti-Semitism existed in the USA, a 
    consequence of wide spread American blame on Israel for the damage that 
    WWIII did on the USA when it got involved in war while backing Israel. But 
    in large part, the newcomers were welcomed by their new neighbors.
 
 Another nuclear armed war demolished the Islamic Caliphate along with the 
    Latin American Eco-Patrimony. A dearth of military targets in North America 
    meant that we extrastellar explorers usually make contact with the Jewish 
    variety of humans because they are fully some fifty percent of the remaining 
    humans in North America and Europe.
