Since you are calling the Palestinian people, a "race", please explain what makes them a "race". Do you believe Jews are a "race" as opposed to Judiasm is a religion? If so, back up those beliefs with credible cites.
Really? How many tons of bombs has the US dropped on Iraq? And DU weapons? What is the body count, why is it hidden from us? So what you are saying, free speech as long as it agrees with the military industrial view. Deal with it!!! The West is responsible for a lot of ongoing genocide. Yes, as we sit in front of our TVs stuffing our faces, tons of WMD and other weapons are being used on poor dark skinned people around the world. Why is this so hard to understand? We export a culture of violence.
I think the marketplace of ideas should be respected and extolled. Silencing someone because you don't like their ideas sucks. Call the guy and idiot, make him prove his stuff - or do what you do and post opposite stuff. I read both sides here and learn what the crack pots are thinking and reading so I know what to expect when I deal with them in public. Wael thinks the us puts U.S. citizens in jail because they are Muslim and he is educated. Imagine what goes on at the table in non educated house holds. But, I also learned that the conservative party was co-opted by reformed socialist commies who became Neocons right here in chit chat long before I ever heard it spoken of in the traditional media. I had no idea that FDR might have been crappy president with questionable ideas about communism until I read it here. Lots of good stuff here - mixed in with a bunch of hate. But, hey I am used to it, I was born a Catholic and everyone takes shots Catholics without remorse. Luckily Catholics were strong enough to take down the USSR. And, they are the one true church.
Are you so sure all Palestinian individuals want elimination of the "jewish state"? Does it really make sense to have a state based on reliigon, whether it be based on Judiasm, Islam or Christianity? Why do we not have states where all races, ethnicities are respected equally, is not that the best scenario? Have you considered that the Israeilis have had the help of imperial powers, the UK and USA? Have you considered that Israel is a cash cow for the US Military Industrial complex, and that the MIC has a vested interest in the Israel/Palestinian conflict?
Its always about how bad Israel is. All states have friends and enemies. For a state to succeed they need to justify their own existence. Your saying Israel has formed allies by large purchases of weapons. That is called an import. States all over the world need to import food, guns, cars, software......all that business makes exporting politicians more friendly to that state. The key is to have a nation that has economic growth, good industry, fair legal system, sound banking, internal security. Israel has that. Companies know they will be treated fairly and their assets are safe from the Govt. Palestine does not have these institutions in place. In fact it survives only on Israel industry and Israel/international aid. I am sure if Palestine were to develop an economy and be able to buy things, the Russians among others would be more then happy to support palestine with their MIC
So let's start with eliminating 100 muslim states. How about that? Or perhaps let's first get rid of the UK which has an official religion - the church of England. Of would you prefer to start with Vatican City (which is an indepentent catholic state ruled by the Pope)? Why should we start with the only jewish state, let's get rid of Islamic theocracies, Vatican and British Christiandom first and deal with Israel later. Deal? And while we're at it, Israel (unlike the UK and the muslim world) does not have an official(state) religion, moreover Israel is not based on a specific religion as being a jew is not a religion but rather an ethnicity. A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism. It is important to note that being a Jew has nothing to do with what you believe or what you do. A person born to non-Jewish parents who has not undergone the formal process of conversion but who believes everything that Orthodox Jews believe and observes every law and custom of Judaism is still a non-Jew, even in the eyes of the most liberal movements of Judaism, and a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship
No, all of the people who call themselves palestinians don't want the elimination of the jewish state. Many are aghast at the thought, knowing what life would be like for them under other people who call themselves palestinians rule. Have you considered that the people who call themselves palestinians have had the entire world ex uk and usa on their side? Whatever the motive of the mic, I see absolutely no evidence that it is any lobbying by them that has influenced our Israeli policy. If you have that evidence, prove it.
The US foreign aid to Israel is contingent upon Israel spending all of it on weapons from US producers. That is a form of corporate welfare for the mmilitary industrial complex. American taxpayer money given in aid to a foreign power, contingent upon that taxpayer money coming back to the US weapons makers. While at the same time the US taxpayer give 3 times the aid to Arab countries. Whats up with that? Israel has not formed allies, her only allies, the UK and US, formed her, and sustain her. She did not exist as a modern country before she was created in 1948. Without UK and US backing she could not sustain herself, if she could, she would deny the aid, and survive on her own, but Israel knows this is impossible. All Israelis are not bad, many of them are more open minded than American Christian Zionist morons. Its the extremists in the Israel government that are no good, as well as extremist muslim and christians.
