I, personally, think it's a good thing for the world that Israel exists. I also think if they laid down their arms, they'd all be dead by the end of the week. I don't see the converse happening were the Palestinians wiling to live in peace with Israel.
A bunch of Christians that couldn't care less about the Jews forget how Israel's existence helps them out. There are quite a few religious locations from Jesus's day (oh right, that Jewish guy named Jesus lived in a Jewish-ruled Judea, didn't he?
) that would be virtually off limits to you heathens if it was still in Muslim control. For the few that might not be off limits, you'd be going through slums and a 3rd world country. How is that an appropriate setting for some of the most important religious sites in the Christian faith?
I know that, you know that. A lot of people know that. I'd just point out that by recognizing and accepting Palestine as a new nation, we set the table for them to, in turn, recognize and accept Israel.
A lot of people know that, but I bet you most people don't. Since the land changed hands in 1967, most people south of their 50s probably don't remember or know who controlled the land prior to that. When I was hearing about the separation of the West Bank to become a Palestinian state, I first assumed it was giving them back their land they lost in the 6 day war. I didn't realize it was giving land to a different group of people who were establishing a brand new country!
So, because I have a different opinion than yours, I'm ignorant and hateful? Maybe that's why you use the handle "Beta"
you're still in the experimental stage and haven't fully matured yet.
No, I said that because your comments about Jews and Muslims were blatantly hateful. If you don't realize that, which it's evident that you don't, then my ignorant comment still stands. Try to keep up. I'd hate to call you Alpha, because it doesn't seem like you're that far along yet.
