I guess when I say that if one group (the ...Hmmm... I guess when I say that if one group (the Jews) hadn't started a brutal war of ethnic cleansing against the other group (the Palestinians) in order to seize the fertile farmlands for their own exclusive use, and drove 750,000 of them (Palestinians) off the land they had been living on for centuries, claiming that land exclusively for them and them only (the Jews) in the name of their god and religion, that perhaps there wouldn't be so much strife in the region today...<br />Well, I'm guessing that you won't agree with me.<br /><br />Foreign Jews in Palestine started terrorism against native Palestinian Arabs long before there was an Israel. This is well documented: the first bombs in crowded civilian marketplaces, etc. bombs on train, bombs in police stations, etc. <br />All well-documented; go to Wikipedia. The original source material is listed.<br /><br />Yes, some bad stuff happened, but both sides are guilty. The Jews drove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians off of land they had been on for centuries. All the bloodshed and terrorism and war comes from this one-sided injustice.<br /><br />I don't accept that "God" gave a particular piece of real estate for the exclusive possession of the Jews, for all time, and that absolutely no-one else can live there, or own property, or have rights.Tom Stedhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268201250851961272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-37341931974099814942012-06-18T10:05:03.744-07:002012-06-18T10:05:03.744-07:00My, I seem to have touched a nerve.
When a group ...My, I seem to have touched a nerve.<br /><br />When a group names soccer fields and streets after people who murder children, openly and repeatedly call for extermination of a people, their 'government' trashes their own people so they have a continuing source of victims to blame on the Jews, deliberately put military equipment next to schools and hospitals so as to have more 'victims of the Jews' and on and on, yeah, I tend to get insulting.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-84505442831662693552012-06-18T09:59:56.071-07:002012-06-18T09:59:56.071-07:00"...a question broke out; he got pissed, and ..."...a question broke out; he got pissed, and a lot of journalists had cows..."<br /><br />I keep remembering the medias reaction to Bush getting shoes chucked at him.<br /><br />They're just concerned with affronts to the dignity of the office.

Not all "settlers" are in the West Bank.<br />And I could easily provide you with dozens of stories of Jews, settler or otherwise, attacking Palestinians. Did you read any of the hundreds of stories of Palestinian olive trees being cut down, their water cisterns being destroyed, etc etc etc>?<br /><br />Or are ethnic slurs and outrage only directed when an occasional Jew is the victim?Tom Stedhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268201250851961272noreply@blogger.com
