    It probably has something to do with the conditions the Palestinians are forced to live in which is basically a disgrace and an embarrassment to the Western world in my opinion, yet the American press comes across as though Israel is all good and such a persecuted country and needs defending at all costs even though the Israel is a nuclear country and all Palestinians are deemed terrorists if you watch FOX. When in reality the Palestinians are probably the most persecuted people on the face of the Earth and this brings out a lot of resentment in people.

    Cut off the American aid and see how they fare.

    Is that a valid point. There are many countries dependent on aid. Would you advocate cutting of their aid to "see how they fare" ?

    So you're congratulating the US for forestalling a bloody war?

    Thank you kindly. Now go back to harboring your grudges and hating who you will.

    No thanks necessary.

    Tex was making it out as though a tiny nation with a small population was doing it all on their own.

    What kind of "road map to peace" can involve heavily funding military aid to one side?

    No different than Canada making bold statements.
    They're backed by the same (only) superpower.

    Why should you benefit from the same latent energy you'd deny the Israelis?

    I was pointing out the hypocrisy of being a broker for peace while at the same time arming one side.

    And what's wrong with that if it resultant poor babies in swaddling clothes and rummaging around the manger for seeds and hay are living rather than dying?

    Do you condone Arab strikes on Israel? Jeezus Man, can't you see the good, benevolent work the Nation of compassion is exerting here?

    Do you wish for massive bloodshed and unbelievable diaspora again?

    Thankfully the Messiah is in charge now and everybody can cuddle their sweet little heads to bed.

    Did I mention the Messiah's CHIEF adviser is a graduate of the Israel Defense Force? Don't let that worry you. He's got the Dream Machine going.

    I'd say that the main reason folks hate the Jews is because God said they would. The fact that they are a rather gifted, astute (with money), wise bunch - in the main - has also allowed the green monster of envy to take root.

    They are often rather arrogant, snobbish sods - but, that said, if you give it back to them in kind, they often turn out to be rather generous, nice folks.

    No answers indeed.
    It might be a conspiracy.

    Where's Jesus Jones, CMN, Miggins, the rest of the Anthill Mob (yes, that was intentional)?

    Gotta be some sorta alien thing. Or GWB -- that's always a good one.

    Funny how you don't believe in the bibles prophecies Tex, but you support people who are trying hard to see them come true.

    Ever heard of the Karen (and other groups) being eradicated in Burma/Myanmar?
    How about the Congo or Sudan.
    The news tells us that the Palestinians are the most persecuted. The news never mentions the genocide in Myanmar.

    For centuries the Jews were blamed for killing Jesus, and it took almost two thousand years for a pope to declare this isn't the case.

    Even reacharounds know that cruci-fiction was a Roman punishment, and that if the Jews killed him he woulda been stoned to death, which is nowadays regarded as a barbaric form of entertainment.

    Hardcore Zionists by the sounds of it. Interestingly enough I remember reading a poll in Haaretz newspaper that found that a larger percentage of Israelis supported a Palestinian homeland as compared to Americans that did. Can't be arsed to find the link and this isn't issues so have a look yourself.

    Written history. The hatred of the jew has been part of my culture for a thousand years at least. Cliffords tower in York (England) is a classic example. If the jewish people wrote in english, we would have a different slant on stuff. The records survive though. Even then there was a killing of people purely on the grounds that they were of the jewish faith. They were blamed then for a recession. Still, a thousand years on, it's nice to know some things haven't changed much
    Except Cliffords tower has been replaced over the years with far more despicable places.
    Seriously, maybe the jew is despised for reasons we have forgotten. But we know that somebody out there has an idea!!!

    Wow. For all the hardcore bullshit you've been spouting now for months, I can honestly declare you a fucking retard without reservation.

    I'd love nothing more than to see peace in the middle east.

    I also think a democratic Iraq is the first step.

    But you're too centered around hate and conflict to see the progress.
