It would appear Israels long term game plan is playing out to perfection. Make their lives so wretched and intolerable that they leave of their own accord. Job done

Your ignorance of this is stunning.
Please stop....hugging terrorists might feel good for you but in the end you are just supporting propaganda.

Well, in the mid 60's the Syrians were backing the Palestinians in attacks on Israel and then Nasser decided to head into the Sinai and kick the UN out just to be an asshole so Israel kicked their asses and kept the territory.

Sounds fair to me.

If you're going to keep trying to blow me up I'm going to keep resisting. The Palestinians have a choice to live in peace or or at war. They have chosen the latter.

So all Palestinians who resist being extinguished are therefore terrorists ? What have I cited here that is in error ?

 

[What if...?]

And there's no propaganda from Israels side?

As I've said before. Israel doesn't support Israel like America supports Israel.

What Americans believe about the history of this conflict and what Israelis believe are simply not the same.

I seriously doubt you would have accepted the "peace" that was offered. Or would have tolerated what the Palestinians have been put through so the Jews could have a permanent physical majority within the borders THEY have been establishing since day one.

Its been shady since the beginning. They've been trying to dump the Palestinians on other Arab states with nothing but the clothes on their backs the whole time. Its always been their desired solution to the "Arab problem".

There sure are a.lot of Israelis who don't approve of how their nation has comported itself. But we don't hear about that here. Anything from this school of thought that makes its way here is summarily shouted down with accusations of antisemitism and terrorist loving.

Best PR team evar!

It has always seemed to me that the only solution acceptable to the US religious right is that Israel get everything it wants no matter how many Palestinian corpses it may require. The unbelievably lopsided media coverage I've witnessed in the US made it hardly surprising that 9/11 and the reasons for it came as such a shock. Sadly it still didn't come as a wake up call

Well what can you do.

There are influences within USA that direct policies towards pro-Israeli solutions no matter how biased those solutions may be. Media is definitely included in the influence together with other aids.

Nothing new here, as it is pointed out this has been going on for a while. It is legal and it is money at work. Nothing personal.

I only wish that if atrocities are carried out from the Israeli sides that court should seek justice within Israel. Better that than say a UN international court for instance.

Ahh, the old '4 map' routine.
I just shot that down last week too.

Whatever way you try and slice it this is simply not right. Its virtually sticks and stones against tanks and gunships many financed by the US and the respective casualties reflect that.

I get rather disturbed by the moral ambiguity many US posters seem entirely comfortable with on this issue

The way your OP is presented (with the picture of the map being the most prominent feature), i doubt that many people will even read the link that you have also provided which talks about the casualties in Gaza.

For the record, i hated the way the article was presented and the poor attempt at humour. I don't find anything even remotely funny about any of it.

It's a shame...and, I don't think any of it is fair. But, I also do not think the American Indians losing all of the Americas was fair either. You only get to keep the land you can hold. THat is the reality.

And when did the Palestinians attack you because I know the Israelis certainly have ? Are all Arabs just deemed automatically guilty by dint of shared religious ethnicity ?

Where is the justice in any of this ?


There is no moral high ground in war. Justice ? None. It's win or lose whatever the cost. It is unemotional. It is not a friendly game of slo-pitch softball. It is war !

So why overwhelmingly back the side doing 99% of the killing and 100% of the invading ? Where is the stake for the US in backing the perpetration of any of this ? Its not just morally ambiguous its downright evil in my view

I will not attempt the defense of the world as it is today.

The U.S gives humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

IF a group wanted to annihilate you and your home it is reasonable that you might get support.

As far as territorial disputes blame European hierarchy of WWI; They divided that area of the world to suit their imperialistic goals.

The U.S was forced to take Israel under its wing circa 1956 when Britain disclaimed it's original oversight.

It ain't pretty but c'est lavie.

And vastly more to Israel. Indeed much of the military hardware they are using today to do the killing

IF a group wanted to annihilate you and your home it is reasonable that you might get support.

So why not support the Palestinian resistance before they are extinguished and ethnically cleansed altogether ? Its been their home for thousands of years too. In this David and Goliath conflict you are the ones backing Goliath !

Yup among other special technologies, like special irrigation systems and greenhouses that were implemented in Africa to help feed starving Africans, or clean solar power plants.
