Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde situation (atheist, Israel, quote, Jewish)

[Currency Pair Crocodile]

Is this even normal

One time I get taken over by religious affiliations and I actually tend to support Israel.

Other times I think Israel is perpetrating genocide against hapless Palestinians, owing to the hardships of the Arabs.

Has anyone ever faced this dilemma??

If someone let me vote, I'll probably vote one way, if given 2 chances in 24 hours

For lots of practical reasons, Zionism was a bad idea from the very start. I like the Jews for their liberal democratic values, but the differential birth rates will soon mean they can either be a democracy or they can be a jewish state, but they can't be both.

Unless they start breeding like the Arabs, I can't see a way for this thing to end well for the Jews.

if the palistinians would stop firing rockets that could reduce their suffering alot.

If the Israeli's keep building settlements on Palestinian land there will never be peace.

And if you take into account Israel overwhelming military superiority (incuding nuclear weapons) the Palestinians don''t stand a chance.

Be honest, if your next door neighbour started to build on your land, and would'nt desist, what would you do, pretend it was'nt happening, or fight them?

Just out of curiosity, what has been your basis to support Israel. I presumed from your postings you're an atheist

AC: I have had the same thoughts. As long as one area is considered "holy" by three major religions, there will be trouble.

Isn't this thread about thoughts swinging for and against Israel?

He even said he has had those moments
