An old country song goes - Politics can start a fight, Religion no one knows who is right. I want to play. - It's a simple fact that outside of the bible belt part of the united states and isreal, they are not too loved worldwide - I'm going to leave my personal religious views out of this and simply say - Surrounded by countires that hate you - you can't exactly play nice. Isreals done some dirty and unethical things, so has every country they have done it to - get over it - really. In all likelyhood peace in the middle-east will never be achieved.. Christianity predicts an end times prophecy for it to happen, Nostradamus also says middle east peace will be the start of the third world war unless i am mistaken. - Many people get wound up over issues, personally to me - this is an issue that has little bearing on my everyday life - but issues mean different things to different people - and i don't find all of them that interesting, but sometimes people stake a stand to the point of martyrdom for whats right. I respect that. - The USA has gotten lots of flak for isreal loving, and personally I don't blame jewish media but as a christian (baptist)- I can tell you right now the good book places heavy emphasis on who supports or confronts isreal - it's a major political issue down here. - You would think america would of learned from Vietnam that not every war can be won. I once knew someone who was a part of the IDF - They don't exactly live a semi-charmed kind of life over there, and it's not like they are rounding up Palestinians in cages, starving them - gassing them and other atrocities. Thats a heavy handed comparison really that borders on racism or bigotry to me. If someone made a post about putting a black man in chains where he belongs, 5 bucks it would of been reported and the person who posted it would of been flamed...Yet in topics concerning the middle east i notice that gets overlooked. It's no worse than the genocide that goes on in Africa daily. Every Human life is precious. Lastly - People still die on both sides, it's not like they walk out unscathed. Some mothers son dies, some wifes husband doesnt return. War's [cabbage] for both sides mate. ~Das
