Doesn't it go both ways? I highly doubt an ethnic warfare has any elegance.

Rape women?

I think you are thinking of Darfur, or Algeria Civil War, or Somalia, or countless other conflicts... but not Israel.

Israel is that tiny country that everybody loves to hate, but not the country that rapes and tortures innocent people.

Where the hell did your highschool buy its textbooks?

I don't think this is th place to discuss political issues, but this issue is so sensitive. I think it should be studied from both sides of view of the conflict before throwing in u'r 2 cents in there.

2.2 - Well said!I

Israel is hated not for it's actions, but because they are "Goliath" while Palestine is "David".

People so often forget (or just ignore) that it was the Arabs who have tried to "drive the Jews into the sea" on 5 different occasions. And yet Israel is the side accused of ethnic clensing... ignoring the fact that there are over a million muslim citizens who live in Israel while the Arab world is now 99% Jew-Free.

Yep, once upon time there were a million Jews in the Arab world until they were all kicked out.

I of course hope for a peacefull two-state solution. But as long as Hamas calls to wipe out Israel and "kill the Jews until Judgement-Day", there will never be peace. How do you negotiate with people who proudly call for your genocide?

Actually this is exactly what I am talking about.. People should learn about the conflict before they talk in a clueless way about what is goin on there and apparently u are one of those people.. and I would have said the same thing to a person who is taking the other side the way u are..

Your right, The Israeli extremists are a minority. They're getting the government to do most of the dirty work for them. Even if they don't openly admit what their goals are its pretty obvious from their actions. And stone throwing vs tanks isn't exactly fair.

actas123, you claim I don't know what I am talking about but do not bother to refute any of my points.

That's just plain lazy. If you believe I am not being factual, by all means, please correct me. But don't just claim that I do not understand the history of this conflict.

It's true Israel conquered land during wars STARTED by Arabs to destroy Israel. And Israel have given back 95% of that land in exchange for peace deals. (Egypt, Jordan, ect..)

Unfortunately, they can't seem to give Gaza away. Not in the Camp David negotiations, and not during disengagement.

USA is building a wall on its borders NOT inside Mexico's territory. When your building a wall inside another country to expand your own land thats bull.
Secondly Iran and north korea have both faced heavy sanctions when they're nuclear projects were revealed. Did anyone raise a voice against israel? Of course not who would wanna go against "God's chosen people."
You say Israelis aren't supposed to sit back while Palestinians bomb them then the palestinans are supposed to sit back when they're lands being taken under the pretense of the other side's security???

Does it matter that the land stolen from the Jews by Arabs is estimated to be FIVE times the size of Israel?

To Israel bashers, of course not. Steeling land from Jews is fine, but conquering land from Arabs in defensive wars is clearly not.

I am guessing by your "God's chosen people" remark, chances are you are not a fan of Jews. It's ok, most people aren't.

Every generation seems to believe they have the definitive reason to justify their hatred towards the Jews. Whether it was for killing Christ, the Plague, hurting Germany's economy, or preventing the Arab world from thriving... there is always a reason. 50 years later, these reasons are revealed as bull and the next new reason is invented.

It seems that the current generation believes that even though the Arab world is now 99% Jew-Free, "justice" requires getting rid of that last 1%

9.1 - Panzerfaust

bubbles 4 u. The palestinians are treated like cokroaches. Kahane advocated this and wiping all arabs off that land & yet while Israel condemns this man, his influence in the ISraeli army still today is undeniable. Many Israelis nowadays refer to arabs and palestinians as terrorists just to gain sympathy in the west. While reffering to an entire group of people who follow islam as terrorists is acceptable and allowed, it is downright atrocious to criticise Israel & is considered anti semitic. Double standards.

10.1 - Funny

You mention Jesus. This is what zionist pplz think of him

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

And Btw people should understand both sides of the story. Yes Hamas militant groups keep firing small rockets everyday, which has claimed the life of 13 people in 8 years but what happened a few days ago. Israel fired a missile which killed a hell of alot of women and children in 1 day, but when they apologise we just accept it and move on. THey've done this countless times in the past yet continue to do so now. Do you know the jews lived peacefully under muslim controlled Palestine before the birth of the zionist state. After 9/11 do you think the palesinians are given any shred of remorse.I can say sooo many other unbelievably wicked things Israel has done but watch this video if you want to know a lil bit.

Crass humor, I know

I know a great amount about it, because I actually had to live through some of it over there

P.S. The jews never lived peacefully anywhere ever(especially in Muslim and Islamic populated countries), not even amongst themselves. Messiah based religions don't mix and never will. Jews are practically nomads because of persecution

12 - I love how people here will fight to the bitter end

Over issues, technology, and concepts which the majority of us here have little if any real understanding.

Let me put this into perspective.

I know people in Southern California that to this day believe that California is part of Mexico and is being illegally occupied by the US. If you look at the history California was land won in a war against Mexico, it was not purchased. Does that truly make it part of the US? If not, why not? If it is, then why isn't the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights part of Israel?

What do you think the US would do if missiles started hitting San Diego and San Antonio from Mexico on a daily basis from people calling for the return of California? What would you do? Sure they aren't a military threat to the nation as a whole, but would America stand by and let children and families be killed nearly every week, and property be damaged nearly every day by these little rockets?

Now think about all of this, do a hypocrisy check for a second, and realize these things may not be a simple as arguing which gaming console is the best one or which booth babe had the hottest thong at a convention.
