<< <<Complete BS. The resaon why the Arabs have been attacking Israel is the very same reason that Bin Laden is attacking the US: Their presence in the ME is an affront to their religion, and the infidels must be removed. This has little to NOTHING to do with land rights, and everything to do with pure hate brought on by the Arabs over religion. Israel was PERFECTLY fine to coexist with Arabs, but the Arabs have repeatedly refused to coexist with the state of Israel starting with a combined Arab attack on the very day Israel was declared a nation.>>
Nice Amused, I see you now are speaking for a whole bunch of peoples. I like this line:
<<He's fallen for anti-Israel propaganda, and hard. It seems you have too.>>
You, on the other hand, who have lived your life in a pro Israeli state and almost never exposed to the other side of the story, aren't infected with any propaganda. Sad that you can't admit that possibility. When you talk of historical knowledge, all you really mean is history as you know it.
It's interesting that you claim Arabs are responding to religion, and yet when the Christian bashing starts over crimes they commit, they always say it's not the religion, but flaws in people. Not saying you make that case, only that many do.
My point is that it's a bit distressing to see so many support violence as a solution to violence. They do so, of course, because they are sure. That type of certainty, it strikes me, is a form of insanity. It is saying that what I think is more important than someone elses
life. The alternative to violence isn't pacifism, it's love. >>
Translation: I have no counter point except to question your facts with ambiguous accusations of bias.
As for Christianity, yes, it has been, and is now to a far lessor extent the cause for many attrocities. This point falls flat with me. Next...
My point to Czar in another thread: How could Nazi aggression in WWII have been stopped with pacifism or "love" as you call it?
Moonie, there is a reason why the Buddhist nations have been walked all over and made to be everyone's bitch throughout history, and you're a perfect example of it.
