Um, no. Israel was the low-hanging fruit, the easy bait if you will, that I expected someone to bite sooner or later. Actually if you read again what I intentionally wrote in a vague fashion and some of the later comments, the answer I was seeking was "all of the above", but it so happens that Israel is still in the process that was completed years ago by the other nations, and in the case of Hawai'i by the US against it. Most people think that the current situation in Israel is unique or original or abnormally disruptive to the people involved, but they are historically myopic.

There are, for example, no real Cubans whatsoever as the tribes which were there were destroyed to the last person by the invading powers, there are very few real Hawai'ians and very few real Americans left, and one of the worst applications of bioterrorism ever committed was on the part of what are now called the "pilgrims/pioneers/founding fathers" of the US against the natives, and the "one reason or other" that they ignored the Geneva Convention is that it was not created at that time. You get much extra credit for being able to make an open-book quiz work to your benefit, however, and a smiley face for a good, if partially correct, answer.
