it's not about Jews and Muslims (Judaism is an older religion than Islam, but the religious beliefs of ancient Egypt/Greece/Rome are even older - doesn't make them much more or less correct). It should not be about religion, but about nationality. It is about Israel bullying the surrounding Arab nations. Many would agree when i say that Israel was allowed to be created because of a great feeling of guilt by the international community over the treatment the Jewish people had been subjected to throughout the Second World War. The US are not solely to blame, although they were most certainly involved; every UN country in 1948 had a hand in it too.

This was followed by a bit of this and a bit of that, but the end word must be that Palestine is now essentially the world's largest open air prison. The people of Palestine DO NOT DESERVE the treatment they receive. Israel's government needs to be held to account for its terrible crimes but I doubt that will happen any time soon. It is a sad fact, but Muslims are the new Jews in terms of racism and unfair international opinion.

Yasser Arafat once said "I come bearing the olive branch of peace in one hand, and in the other a machine gun. Do not allow me to drop the olive branch"
It was the fault of the Israeli government that violence became the main language spoken between the two nations.

And Jordan has really very little to do with it. Just as Iraq has really very little to do with Iran and vice versa. Just as Spain has really very little to do with France.


Good thread medicineman.
