Joe, regardless of people being religious or not, there has been much slaughtering of people on both sides. I believe those who were involved in "The Killing Fields" of Cambodia were atheists. Mao had no problem killing all those people in China even though he was an atheist. As I once told my Muslim neighbor, I don't care what religion someone is as long as they are not out to kill me. If someone wants to worship the man in the moon, that is their prerogative.
If the following is possibly true (and the DNA of chimps is close to humans), perhaps Joe should tell them to stop this particular practice. Too bad Cheetah has passed on or else Joe would have the opportunity to discuss this with him.
I think you miss the point. Yes, humans have a pretty shitty record of treating each other in general.
But I guess I see fighting over land and resources as a bit more understandable than fighting over what an imaginary fairy in the sky wants.
The thing was, the PLO used to be pretty secular. They were a national liberation movement working against colonialism - and yes, Zionism started as a colonial movement.
Then the Mossad thought it would be brilliant to encourage the Islamic radicals like Hamas as a foil to the secularists in Fatah. About the same time Ronnie Ray-gun decided that arming Jihadists was a great idea because those dirty stinkin' commies might teach girls how to read in Afghanistan.
That's why I find it funny when peices of shit like Jew-Roids and Roudy get on here and scream about "Islamo-Nazis" like those two words even go together, because people like them were the ones who created the problem to start with.
You seem to forget, Joe, that even before the idea of an organized religion, men were killing each other. Surely you must have learned in your history class of all the ancient wars. Meanwhile, I don't know why you have a problem with people if they follow a religion should they choose to do so. So many people find comfort in their religion, and their beliefs are not bothering you. It is only when someone wants to harm you because of their beliefs, then you should start worrying.
Yes, JoeB has been able to infiltrate Mossad so he knows exactly what they are doing. I wish we were all that fortunate to be able to do that. I really wish an old poster from another message board were here. He was a retired State Department employee who even gave the address in Russia where Arafat went and where the Russians told him to use the term Palestinians as referring to the Arabs because previously they were called Syrians or just plain Arabs. To call an Arab a Palestinian previously was like an insult because it would be like calling them a Jew.. Perhaps Joe can tell us why the Palestine exhibit in the World's Fair of 1940 was run by the Jews and not the Arabs.

CORRESPONDENCE
WITH THE
PALESTINE ARAB DELEGATION
AND THE
ZIONIST ORGANISATION.
Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty.
JUNE, 1922.
LONDON:
".........Whilst the position in Palestine is, as it stands to-day, with the British Government holding authority by an occupying force, and using that authority to impose upon the people against their wishes a great immigration of alien Jews, many of them of a Bolshevik revolutionary type, no constitution which would fall short of giving the People of Palestine full control of their own affairs could be acceptable.
If the British Government would revise their present policy in Palestine, end the Zionist
con-dominium, put a stop to all alien immigration and grant
the People of Palestine — who by Right and Experience are the best judges of what is good and bad to their country — Executive and Legislative powers, the terms of a constitution could be discussed in a different atmosphere. If to-day
the People of Palestine assented to any constitution which fell short of giving them full control of their own affairs they would be in the position of agreeing to an instrument of Government which might, and probably would, be used to smother their national life under a flood of alien immigration....."
