Truth is truth, whether you believe it or not. Someday we will all know. Until then, believe whatever you like.
Can you please enlighten me on this great secret that "someday we will all know"? I'd really like to know.



Peace.

It's interesting to see that you think Israel should "carpet bomb" Gaza. You sound like a jihadist yourself.

yes, they are savages. yes, gaza should be carpet bombed. ultimately, one side is going to have to do major harm to the other if this conflict is ever to end.

I have no dog in this fight- I do believe Israel has a right to exist and defend herself but you realize that there are good amount of Anti-Zionist Jews that don't agree with how Israel as a nation was formed, right?

Incorrect. It's not "necessary to do major harm" in order to end the conflict. On the contrary, it would only set the stage for future fighting.

Life isn't a video game. It's not a "who can destroy the enemy" thing. It's about learning to get along with each other.


Peace,

I call bs.
It's not our place to go to war for them or for anyone.
Israel has a habit of kicking everyone in the shins and hiding behind the US.
They sell our secrets and weaponry.
Let them take care of themselves, warmongers that they are.

This is about Israel and Palestinian conflict. ~25% of Israel are Non-Jews, of those are minority Christians.
There are Christian Palestinians as well.

Please leave religion out of this. This is about the two nations.
There are also Muslim Israeli's.

And since then Egypt and Jordan have given up all rights to the land. Since they put this in writing, then that in itself is more proof that there is no palestinian nation. Look at the history of Gaza when ALL the Israelis left Gaza. There was Billions of dollars/euros in waiting to create a state. And what happenned in less than TWO hours after the last Israeli was gone. The so-called palestinians started firing rockets into Israel and nearly all those Billions of dollars/euros dried up within minutes later.
So out of nothingness all of a sudden in 1949 something existed.

Convenient and contrary whitewash of history.

I think the U.S. should stay away from other nations' conflicts.... We don't want another 9/11, or people hate us Americans for supporting and favoring a nation over another!
American will never be a nation made up of " wimps " Israel is America's second greatest ally " America was founded on Judeo - Christian Principals....." we will always support Israel and by the way Israel was not the religious mind set that brought down the twin towers in NYC.....why should we abandon her?

Love the total embrace of fairytale talking point fallacies.

Wipe the entire region off the map. Make it a glass factory for the next 100,000 years.

next problem.

Responsibility starts at home.
We have enough problems and Israel and its citizens need to be responsible for theirs as well.
Not with my tax dollars nor my fellow American lives.

I chose the bud out option and tend to our own responsibilities.
