I laughed when I saw the public opinion poll... ..as if. Poll Americans and whom will they side with? Sure ain't gonna be the Muslims... In any case, if the public opinion was negative on Israel, would the local Israel apologists then change their position about Israel being in the wrong...because public opinion says so? LOL!!! Public opinion polls are useful for getting a handle on upcoming elections, but beyond that? Policy in Israel or the middle east should be influence by public opinion? Apparently it is, given the blind support the US throws Israel's direction... In the book "Dune" by Frank Herbert there is an underlying premise: "He who controls spice, controls the universe." In modern day America, he who controls the corporate media, shapes public opinion. Who controls corporate media, and what is their agenda? Maybe it is time we showed some support for David in current this David vs. Goliath conflict...
Reading about this latest expansion of Israeli apartments, in the news today, that "theatens the peace" process There is no peace process, there has never been peace process. The arabs want no Israel. Period. That's their idea of peace process. They would have accepted Barak's offer in 2000, partition in 1948, land for peace resolution in 1967 if they had the slightest interest in peace. and recalling that I, who know nothing really about this conflict, understatement of the century. but Israel sucks ass. Israel kicks [arab] ass. Deal with it. More money to the P's I say, for rockets. Right, because hundreds of billions of oil dollars the arab world steals from the west is not enough.
5 million jews, 350 million arabs, 1.5 billion muslims... 99.6% of the middle eastern land belongs to arabs, 0.4% belongs to jews. Who is Goliath and who is David indeed?
"Right, because hundreds of billions of oil dollars the arab world steals from the west is not enough." Pretty damn revealing of a twisted thinker in the quote above... No one forces the west to buy oil from any Arab... The west has had well over 30 years since the oil embargo to get off the Arab oil... ...and the west did nothing to change the equation. Why is that? Why did the west continue to remain in a position of dependence on Arab oil? The west is not a victim of Arab oil, or OPEC, ect. America is a victim of our own stupidity, like not becoming energy independent when we had a wake up call, like continuing to fund Israel's war machine, etc.
Clearly you don't understand the concept of military superiority... Would it be difficult for someone who owns only .4% of the land of their neighbors having a motive to increase their land through any means possible as their population increases, rationalizing every land grab as the spoils of conquest?
Oh, that must be why Israel completely withdrew from the Sinai, Lebanon, Gaza... That must be why the arab world is not rushing to make peace with Israel, somehow they don't appear all that terrified of Israel's military superiority and potential spoils of conquest. You should think before you post complete nonsense revealing once again your stupidity, ignorance and complete inability to think logically.
Hard to make peace with someone who has 400 nukes and America's full support pointed at you and is settling in your lands... <img src=http://www.firstpr.com.au/nations/frontier_settlements2806.jpg>
They're supposed to accept the proposals of squatters? Oh you got you little dig in, from my own lead, good for you. Because they are, by their own calcualtions, the superior race? Or because of US dollars? Anyway, if they are superior, or they are kicking ass, or both, then they don't need US dollars. Fuck 'em. If they are stealing that money, then they're smarter than us and the Israelis. So much for the superiority claims.
LOL, America has thousands of nukes, so does russia, China, France, the UK... and nevertheless the arab world had no trouble making peace with them. Yet it had trouble accepting Israel's right to exist even before Israel had nukes...in fact they repeatedly tried to [gasp] wipe it off the map. LOL, another example of your stupidity and inability to think logically.
