Israeli-Palestinian conflict
« on: April 07, 2006, 04:23:01 pm »
I've had a chat with BZ lately, so it's been on my mind for a bit. Just wanted to see what the majority think. For the record: you can take my opinion as 100% biased. Also, note I'm not an Arab-hating Israeli... But at times, anger gets the best of me, and another solution other than kicking them the hell out isn't in sight.

The eventual seed of global power will culminate out of Israel. This is what I believe but I try not to pay attention to the chaos over in the middle east. Too much crap going on.

You know I stand in the middle-ground, favouring neither.

We should turn the whole country into a wildlife refuge.

Really, I don't think either side wants peace, and the requirements for victory are not acceptable in this enlightened era.

How do you figure? Do you assume America will somehow rot to death?

I doubt it will, but Israel and America would become giant allies, and Israel would become the main hub of power in the Middle East.

What a perfect solution.

America has a role. We just don't know what it is. I'll never have access to the agendas of countries, but that's what just might happen since America is the way it is.

Tho I agree much with Gray Lensman :P

I support Israel.  I've given my reasons in the past.  The jews were given a small piece of land after the hardships they endured under Hitler.  There was Israel and Palastine.  But the Palastinians didn't like that too much, and the enter Arab world (just about) went to war with Israel, with Israel eventually conquering Palastine.

I side with Israel and its people. The Palestinians are too bloodthirsty, and their neighbors are a bad influence. What these people need is relief from their troubles.

The Palestinians are people, like you and me. They fight for land, just like most people do when someone takes their home

They fight for land they lost fairly (well, as fair as war can be) when they tried to take the Israeli's*

Yes, and they battle on. Israel has always been a sought after land...Jeruselam more specifically. Remember the Crusades, Sentenal  :P

What the hell do the Crusades have to do with Palastinians attacking Israelis simply because they are there?

Israel technically got it before Islam ever came about. But I'm with GrayLensman on this one; the Middle East is

'Cept I'm pretty sure Israel didn't start that. I'm pretty sure it was the Holy Roman Empire.
