And you know this how? Because you read it? Why is what you read accurate and true, and what I read pure fiction? How can you be so sure? I know you are too intelligent to believe all you read. And I know that you understand you are reading and quoting opinions, not research. Do you think that America's "free press" is a pure fiction also? You deny that the families of the suicide bombers have been compensated? You think Arafat is one of the people he represents? You do not believe he is a wealthy man? And if he is, where did the money come from? The Pulitzer? Hey, it isn't the Nobel Peace Prize (which does pay). But you have not answered my first question. If Isreal disarmed, how long would they exist? Just hypothetically, OK?
If American and British special forces have to deal with the "swift efficiency" demonstrated the other day by the attack on Karzei or fight another "mother of all wars" it shouldn't take too long.
I lived in peace with my jewish neighbours till the nineties and they are still living in peace... Moreover, change happened in the neighbourhood of Israel because of the palestinian cause ... So for me it is more the results of the palestinian case than anything else. Moreover, as you may know Jerusalem is the homeland of the three religions and a lot of blood was spent for this city as you may know from the crusades... so a lot of passion around this part of the world.. As a very famous algerian jew said once in an interview to a polish jew : I have never lived the holocaust so I don't know what you feel. We were quite protected in North Africa... And this was the case during the 2 bloodiest events in the history of the jewish people.. the inquisition in Spain and the Holocaust.... When the Nazis came and asked the king of morocco to put a yellow star on moroccan jews, he said I will never ask a moroccan citizen to put a yellow star. this was just 50 years ago not 100 years...
Just hypothetically, what would happen if they did? What makes you believe Israel wants more land? They have already given back the Golan Heights (actually they tried and had the deal done, but guess what!), the Sinai, and want to give most of the West Bank and Gaza. What you say here makes no sense. Why in the world would they want a "big Israel"? They have enough to deal with as it is. Do you think they want to colonize Jordan? Lebanon? What? If they wanted just land, hell, the Sinai was theirs, and they were happy to get it back to Egypt. What do they need undeveloped land inhabited by people who will resent them, fight them, and do nothing to improve the land they have had? Why did they not create something in the desert akin to what the Isrealis have done in the past 60 years? Hint....freedom, education, and ambition.
Yes, this is true. I am sorry I used 100 years. Make it since 1948. Only 54 years. My error. And still, Morocco is not exactly a hotbed of hatred. Nor Algeria (too busy still hating the French to be bothered with anything current). It is NOT about Islam or the whole Arab world. It is about the Arab world in the states adjacent to Israel. The Oil States. The money and power states. From Libya east. Egypt tried to be progressive, and has been an outcast among these countries. And still, Egypt is a breeding ground for terrorists. Old hatreds die hard.
Today the country that is violoating the international law is Israel not palestine.... The law is the law.. and today Israel violates the international law.... And my frind with all the nuclear weapons and billions of subventions they have from europe and the US the do not worry that much... So whatever your words and assumptions these are just silly words and assumptions. since you have no compassion for the innocent palestinian victims. I am no palestinian but I never killed jews and my ancestors protected jews... So I have no lessons to take from you On Israel.. do you really belive that it is ambition and hard work ))) more subvention and money sent than anything else... without money pouring from the US and europe that wnated to be forbidden for their holocaust.. Israel would still be a desert and so what... that's their problem after all... planet earth is enough poluted like that...
This is what is going on in the name of Islam in Iran. Not far from the holocaust. http://www.unhchr.ch/Huridocda/Huridoca.nsf/TestFrame/916f713559b7db858025670400534fe4?Opendocument Islamic Republic of Iran 42. The former Special Representative on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran in his report to the Commission at its fifty-first session made reference to acts of discrimination and economic pressure against the Baha'i religious minority (E/CN.4/1995/55, paras. 50-53 and 104-105). According to the allegations that he had received, marriage, divorce and the right to inherit among the Baha'is continued to be unrecognized in law. Seven Baha'is were in prison because of their religion and two of them had been sentenced to death. Major difficulties remained in obtaining passports and exit visas. Young Baha'is continued to be denied access to higher education. The cemeteries, holy places, historical sites and administrative centres of the Baha'i community remained confiscated or had been destroyed. The private sector was said to be under pressure from the authorities to dismiss Baha'i employees. Many Baha'is had been dismissed from the public sector on account of their religious beliefs and some of them had been required to return the salaries and pensions they had received when they were working. The Baha'i community continued to be denied the right to meet freely, to elect their representatives and to maintain their administrative institutions. 43. The Special Representative requested that careful consideration be given to the legal situation of Baha'is who were in prison, particularly those who had been sentenced to death or accused of apostasy, and demanded an end to the harassment and discrimination to which members of the Baha'i community were subjected because of their religious convictions (E/CN.4/1995/55, para. 110 (h)).
This is quite an assumption on your part. I have total compassion for the palestinians. I believe they should have a homeland. I believe they want peace. I believe they should have rights and dignity and education. I think they should be equals to the Israelis. I think you totally misunderstand what I think. I also think they deserve and should have a legitimate leadership. They do not.
I never heard of Bahai's I am sorry and this is the first time I hear about that... Now, I never said that those people are perfect and the others are evil... I am not american Now I believe there are good people and also crazy guys but they can be from any origion religion race colour. But above all I hate injustice whatever it's form...
Thanks for your answer. But you cannot decide for the palestinians.. They elected Arafat democratically and despite the pressures from Bush and Sharon , this guy is their leader and he fought all his life for a palestinian state ... Now I don't know much about him but you intrigued me about the 2 billion... if this guy is so rich why does he stay in Palestine... Why doesn't he live in monaco ) Please bring me some facts... Now, I really don't think he is the problem this guy is ill and he will probably die in one year or 2... the real problem is Sharon and Netanyahu is no better, I read this guy wanted to exterminate all the palestinians...
