Anyone think that arabic/islamic countries would be

suicide bombing on busses is so wrong.

how else do fight a super power?

[hackman]

hackman do you not think the dark masonic forces ruling our planet allow these things to go on?
bigger things are happening than the israelis fighting the palestinians

yes


"there really isnts much anyone can d to stop it and the israeli citzens certainly couldnt.."

that's exactly the problem, that attitude, oh nothing we can do, let's just see what happens
if public was educated well enough, this would not be allowed to happen

[hackman]

and the israeli citizens are the most brainwashed people in the world so i agree with you there pistons

[uncle bill]

anyone who lives in israel and allows what happens to go on is just as bad as the politicians and soldiers in my book

Better get down on your knees and beg forgiveness from all those Iraqis then. I often don’t agree with Israeli tactics but everyone has a right to defend his own country.

They’re not brainwashed. They just feel very insecure surrounded by people who want them out of the region permanently.

[hackman]

i'm not doubting suddam hussein was a bad man, anyone who's been supported and put in power by the US always is, but i doubt half of the bad stuff he's alleged to have done is true

sorry if i've completely misunderstood you

suddam hussein was a badman

it's generally impossible to have a debate on this without being called an anti-semite. if this happens i usually point the accuser in the direction of one of the many anti-zionist groups formed by jews

as for the 'right to defend their land/country', this is incompatible if israel continue to develop aggressively and build settlements.....their actions are clearly not just defensive. as for whether it's their land anyway...most jews in israel are of ashkenazi descent so come from eastern europe and nowhere near the middle east

[uncle bill]

That’s quite an extreme example to use to sum up the state of a nation. Well, I meant the vast majority aren’t brainwashed. Even in Britain we’re manipulated and turned from our better instincts by the press and government and ideas of retribution. Israel is a young democracy in a perpetual state of war. It’s not a happy place!

I feel terrible for Palestinians living under military curfews in conditions little better than refugee camps but it’s a complex political situation out there. I feel terrible about Israeli women and children getting blown up by suicide bombers too. Taking sides isn’t going to help anyone.

Israel’s had some bad leaders but, rightly or wrongly, it’s inevitable that people vote for politicians who make them feel more secure.

Oh, and believe what you like about Saddam Hussein but the crimes of his regime are pretty well documented, not least the unwinnable war against Iran that caused 500,000 deaths and 100,000 casualties from chemical weapons.

apart from, on what basis is it their land?
a few paragraphs in an old book that there were jews living there a few thousand years ago?
surely on that basis all us english people can go build a settlement in normandy, just cos we had a king from normandy a thousand years ago, and start fucking over all the french?

go figure

How has George Bush killed over 600,000 people?

I'm not saying he's 'a decent guy' by any means but as far as kill count goes surely Saddam is worse.

if i was gay or a woman i'd rather live in israel than any arabic or islamic state.

[hackman]

alright maybe only about 250,000, i exaggerated

if you take all the presidents that have been in power from the time suddam first came to power then i would be right

[hackman]

if i was gay or a woman i'd rather live in israel than any arabic or islamic state.

great

damn right, look at your avatar, ffs. you're really showing yourself up as someone who is too puerile to understand what they're talking about. I honestly thought you had more sense than this.

[hackman]

this isn't a discussion about islamic bullshit towards women and gays
its about israel
stop trying to derail my thread

[DRTY]

No one here (in the west), I doubt can really have a good idea of what's happening can they? I mean all we're gonna hear is a biased media coverage and an extreme rhetoric from l33t people of the internet.
