Mr. George Washington...i believe you have your religions mixed up slightly - it is all the books which portray jesus christ as either savior or prophet - and muslims vs. israeli's has so little religious basis that the entire conflict is just one in which each side believes it is right. none of the religions condones murder, under any circumstances. in fact, i believe that if the word is followed to the letter it is better to die than kill - becuase when up before judgement i believe he says to anyone who's killed and doesn't spend the rest of his/her life as a hermit repenting endlessly, that they're going to hell. so i support any of the people on either side who doesn't kill.
and the holocaust was the fault of anyone who took part in it. anyone and everyone who ever grassed in their jewish neighbour to the gestapo - and thats a helluva lot, anyone who ever killed a jew - and thats a helluva lot, anyone who followed orders - again, alot, and anyone without the moral sense to say this is wrong - including the vatican, for which they recently apologized - becuase in both christandom and judaism the jews are gods chosen people. the christians who say "but the jews killed jesus" deny that jesus himself was of the jewish faith - so the jews killed a jewish jesus? no, the romans did. and screw the passion depicting all that pain. that movie is still just a movie - if people wanna get religious over a movie, then the world has become blind to what religion is and has been for millenia.
i support neither of the secular states of isreal or palestine. because they dont promote the idea within their own communities that war is in itself an unforgivable atrocity before the eyes of the one and only lord - to shed blood is to deny to divinity of our own creation. every person who kills, kills the image of the lord. those who say they kill FOR religion, deny their own religious teachings - the teachings as they are WRITTEN - NOT as they are put forward by extremist religious elders, or secular heads of government. there is seperation between church and state, except in israel, in which case i do believe that the actions of the state have smeared the traditions of the religion. but ill individually seperate them anyway - because judaism doesn't promote murder and in isreal it is considered necessity. who remembers attack choppers argued as a defensive measure? attack choppers are made for attack...the simplicity of the concept is that an attack chopper performs an attacking action, and is an unsuitable measure for defence.
now, im also of the belief that the lesser evil is one to choose. you put a rifle in my hand with the date, whereabouts and time of hitler back in time after the beginning of the murders, and id gladly pop one in him and id probably repent for not as much time, with not as much sincerity, as i would have had i been on the other side of it. but i wasnt and i cant. but the fact that executioners don't baulk from their jobs is unsurprising. most enjoy it. i heard somewhere that in nazi germany less than one percent didnt like doing it. its never been someones duty to purpotrate crimes against humanity, and anyone who says it is, or argues otherwise, is blind.
war, is not an interest of any monotheistic god - and it is mans free will which creates war where none is necessary. why not communise isreal and palestine so as to interdepend creating...palrael. or isrealistine. teach the people of both countries, using educational methods developed and used for hatred in Nazi Germany for the opposite in Palrael. Palraelians united against bullshit from everywhere. because thats what it gets.
as it is israel gets screwed over by arabic neighbours, but support from the states. and palestine gets dicked by israel many times over, then screwed over by the arabic neighbours who pretend to be friends, and then denounced as terrorists when fighting for what WAS PALESTINE prior to the relocation of the jews from Europe following the holocaust. so...for them its a fight for restoration. a fight against foreigners who took the land, and as such, all are military targets. indulge me those with enough imagination, but Nazi Germany wins the second world war and moves its citizens to the United States, now United under nazi states - do the americans put up with it? or do you fight tooth and nail for every inch of soil which was once the USA against any and all enemys who come from that foreign country, be they settlers taking your land, or soldiers killing your people.
the mindset of the terrorist is one of the lowliest depravity, but it is not to be blamed on him - no, because he has become a mindless drone - what made him or her into this? the situation. fix the situation and terrorism finds its base of support slowly retreating - fixing the situation requires sacrifice from the powerful. it requires charitably giving what is ineligable for charity, and working for another twice as hard as one would work for oneself, with less reward. and it requires the United Nations to be soverignly recognized as correctly dispositioned organization intended to create a paradise for all, supported by a force capable of defeating any other on the battlefield. and this most likely won't happen, and we can go on discussing these things on messageboards. and it would dilute the great wonder, and cultures of the world, and we would lose much more than there is to gain. and so we fight terrorism - but the palestinian is more a freedom fighter against a defensive israeli.
