I'm going to keep patronizing you. The peolple that are dying in your hometown are not dying because they are getting on a bus to go to work. They are soldiers and the like openly knowing the risk they are taking. I'm talking about buses blowing up in the middle of Austin. Please don't compare Texas and Israel. When was the last time that a family member of yours was stabbed in the back for his religion while walking down the street ?! Don't ask me the same question, because I actually have a date.
Islam is the problem !!! Islam has been the problem for a long long time. You are just too PC to appreciate that. You don't seem to want to believe this. You think that because there are a lot of nice muslims, that the religion is not at fault. Ever consider that these are nice people but bad Muslims. They are not orthodox and they are not following the teachings of Mohamed. Sura 9:73 "Pophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell sahll be their home: an evil fate." I can go on and on with these Quoranic quotes. I don't know what else you need to make you understand that unlike Judeo Christian morals, this religion is violent. It was established by a meglomaniacal caravan robber. It is especiall inflamatory towards the Jews so Israel is an easy target for devout Muslems. Once again, Israel and Texas are not equivilant. You yourself say "Islam is not the problem--it's the people who believe in the violence it preaches". So even you admit that Islam teaches violence and some Muslems are smart enough to ignore it. Good people ... bad Muslems.
"killing does not just "happen". It is a choice people make when they feel as if they have run out of options"
So what eople has no options and started WW1 and WW2 ?! Killing is a choice. You do not want to believe that evil exists. The greatest trick the Devil pulled on man is making him believe he doesn't exist. There are lots of evil people out there and many who would gladly kill.
"The Massada rebels chose too take their own lives as a statement rather than continue to kill."
Been there, climbed that. The martyrs of massada wheren't conducting a peaceful anti-war protest. They killed as many Romans as they could hold off, and then killed themselves rather than be tortured, raped, and taken into servitude. The lesson isn't peace rather than fighting, it's that a Jew will fight and die the way he chooses. "You don't own me" if you will. Ghandi would not have been proud of them, if that's what you are implying.
"Israel is choosing to have "sworn enemies" and blaming everything on arabs. This attitude prevents peace at this time."
Pardon emoui. Israel is "choosing" to have a sworn enemy ?! Are you for real. Did Israel attack 5 Arab armies the day after the British left ?! Is it Israel swearing to drive all Arabs into the sea ?! Do you really think Israel doesn't want peace ?! It gave back the Saini didn't it (the only oil Israel ever owned) ?! What do you think the Arabs would have done if they had won any of those wars ?! You have some nerve making this sound like Israel is the aggressor here. Israel blames the Arabs for blowing up stuff just like the US blames the Arabs for 9-11. The Arab nations and Islam do this to themselves by preaching it and commiting the actions. Stupid is as stupid does. But I forgot, it's not the Arabs, it's those pesky 6 million Jews. My bad.
It doesn't matter anyway. Soon the wall will be completed and seperation will be the law of the land .. like it should be. Some people just don't get along. Jews and Muslems are just an example. Since the palestinians are already trying to assasinate Abbas, I can only imagine the mayhem on the other side of the wall. I'm sure you'll find a way of blaming Israel for that too.
You have yet to answer the question Dilloduck ... What do YOU advocate ?! Israel packing up and leaving ?! One state two peoples ?! Seperation ?! You are good at griping about Israel and what they are not doing (which I'm actually still not clear on) and bad at concrete solutions. Please let me know so that at least we know what you are pushing for.
