Then why do you think Hizbullah is targetting civillians in Israel? I think they are hoping to kill people and as a by-product, instill fear into the rest of the population. A large proportion of the population ofnorthern Israel has fled to more southern parts.
Well Duhhh! :roll: :roll: You probably are not old enough to remember but I am. But I remember when Israel first annexed West Bank and Gaza. It was clear from the beginning that these lands were to be permanent part of Israel. No one tried to hide this fact back then. The Israeli government was encouraging settlement of these lands and promised any settlers that they would get full backing of the government and that they would not be left high and dry at a future date by Israel giving the lands back to Arab control.Quote:
There is a strong ideologically driven movement within Israel that sees all of the West Bank as rightfully belonging to the Jewish state. It has pushed for and succeeded in establishing numerous settlements throughout the West Bank since that territory was captured in the 1967 war.
At first the West Bank was never referred to as occupied but in recent years the media has begun using this word to describe West Bank and Gaza. The media has been biased against Israel increasingly since the late 70's and 80's.
Unfortunately our beloved media has been trying to socially engineer us now for years and by the intolerance I have seen for Israel here, I see it is beginning to work.
Israel seized the West Bank and Gaza in the legitimate defense of herself and under international laws of war, had the right to annex those lands. Just as the Allies did after WWII ....and every other war in history.
This is not just about land, it's about people. There are around 2.5 million Arabs who live in the West Bank. Should they be made citizens of Israel? Or would you perhaps prefer to see them driven out into Jordan to make way for total annexation and settlement of the territory by Israelis? Do you think it was a mistake not to drive them out of their homes at the time of the six day war?Quote:

I wonder how she got my address because I never give that one out.
For the most part I have to agree with DDT's postings in this thread... He is right completely about the media's trying to shift people's opinions on Israel... its kind of worrisome as I believe Israel should exist and I don't think Islam should be tolerated: radical or not. Especially not when "tolerating" it means bowing to every whim of the muslims. I hope Israel keeps going, this is the only way to teach the islamist groups out there what will happen if they push them... and if Iran or Syria get involved I'll be cheering as we join in with Israel and bomb them all flat!
No hard feelings to any muslims out there~ but I think your religion is the fruit of a crazy man's mind and only serves to endanger civilization. :lol:
--Peace
And how much are your first dates usually cost? Less than $250 :oQuote:

There are Arabs who live in Israel proper (i.e. not in the West Bank or Gaza), by the way.
Some hippy girl at university who is a member of the "Friends of Palestine Society" assured me that ALL Arabs in Israel lived in the West Bank or Gaza and under no circumstances were permitted to enter the main part of Israel. That's funny, because as well as the many thousands of Arabs living in Israel proper, I read an article on the BBC news site which had a Palestinian man saying Israeli road blocks were making it take him hours and hours to get to Tel-Aviv where he often did business. I.e., people are allowed to travel from the Palestinian territories out into Israel. Also, how does she think these suicide bombers manage to target places like Tel-Aviv?
Of course there are strict regulations governing where Arabs can live and such and also governing the movements of residents from the Palestinian territories into Israel.
And I hear and read lots of talk about the Arabs living in Gaza and West Bank being those who were kicked off their land by the Jews when Israel was formed. Yes probably most of them are. But there was also a large influx of Arabs from neighboring countries under the British mandate. The modern term Palestinian does not refer to a specific ethnicity. It is just an Arab who lives in Palestine. So, an Egyptian family who moved to Palestine in say 1940, and then after the formation of Israel moved into the Gaza strip, would be called Palestinian, and there descendants would be too.
But also, I am quite uncomfortable with certain people's blatant Islamophobia. I must say I sort of agree with the points raised, but it isn't done in the most sensitive way. If you are born into a religion it is very difficult to see any fault in it. I believe all religion is a load of crap, but I wouldn't go up to a Christian and shout "JESUS WAS JUST A CARPENTER WHO TALKED TO MUCH AND WASN'T EVEN THE SON OF GOD AND YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR OWN MIND AND DO WHATEVER SOME INACCURATE ANCIENT BOOK TELLS YOU".
ALSO!
I saw an interesting piece on the BBC news yesterday (the BBC was criticised a couple of years ago, by the way, for being too pro-Israel), about how it is not the Jewish lobby in America that drives the country's support for Israel, it is in fact crazy evangelical Christians who believe in something called "End time theology". Basically in the Bible it says for Jesus to return to Earth the Jews must be gathered in Israel, and also that when he returns he will judge the gentiles (non-Jews) treatment of the Jews. Thus, these evangelical Christians (who there are a lot of, and in very high places) are very pro-Israel. Couple with that they are likely to be very pro-American and therefore hate Muslims because of 9/11.
About 60 (!) Lebanese were killed in bomb shelter today... More than 20 children... So DO YOU SUPPORT Israel?

Did anyone notice that while everyone is squawking about the 60 killed Lebanese (and some of them probably supporters of Hizballa) no one ever talks about Israel's losses?
Does no one realize Israel is acting in self-defense?
My Israeli friend is having to take cover for his life, and is seeing Israeli soldiers being killed every day.

Close to 20% of the Israeli population are Arabs and seem to be reasonably well integrated into Israeli society, particularly in Haifa. (In fact several of those killed by Hezbollah rockets have actually been Arabs). They have full citizenship and have political representatives in the Israeli parliament. But the situation for those Arabs who live outside Israel proper is very different. They are not Israeli citizens and do not have any political voice inside Israel itself despite being controlled by that state. Israel did not want to make them citizens because it would greatly diminish the Jewish majority and over time could even have resulted in an Arab majority within Israel.Quote:

The fact that Israel could prevail over so many Arab armies and achieve such a crushing victory was considered to be the result of God's intervention and proof that the Dispensationalist interpretation of the Bible was true and a clear sign that Christ would come again. In fact some Evangelicals fully expected it to happen in 1967. Since that time the Evangelicals have strongly supported Israel and have been deeply hostile to the Palestinian cause. I even remember reading somewhere that some Evangelical groups make collections to fund and support Israeli settlements in the West Bank. In earlier years though, Evangelicals had been some of the strongest anti-Semitic voices in the US. How times change!Quote:

Anyway, whether you hate them or not they aren't going any where any time soon...
This seems to me to be just as twisted as some of the Islamic beliefs. Would these people be willing to finance the killing of innocent civilians just so their prophecy might come true? Just like the Lebanese government harbours terrorists so they can wipe out the Jews or whatever.Quote:

What are you talking about? Anyone can believe whatever they want. You believe that just because someone is born somewhere automatically makes them brainwashed cyborgs to religion?Quote:

One of my teachers from Afghanistan told us about how he doesnt believe in Islam, and after going through school and being forced to read the koran he saw how it couldn't make sense and chose to be an athiest. This was in the 70's. When the USSR came into afghanistan in the 80's he moved to Rostov on don, and after the collapse of the USSR he moved to America.
Alot of people are weak(er) than others, thats why they turn to things like, Religion, or Emo to guide thier lives. Others think for themselves and make their own decisions
That's righr. Anyone can decide to use their brain and believe differently. Check this ex Mus woman out! Her name is Wafa Sultan:-

I find it ironic that people who say that Islam is backward and whatnot are being exactly that in discussing ISlam.
It was quite difficult for me, a Muslim, to read through this thread and not be offended. If you disagree with my religion, that's fine, but there is no reason to be overtly offensive and make insensitive comments, especially to those who did nothing and simply try to carry on a normal life.
I'm not out to kill all non-Muslims, and neither is any Muslim I know. Though it's become a bit burdersome to stand up for my religion, I'll still do it out of my sheer belief that perhaps one day you'll change your mind.
But if you want to believe that Islam is this evil religion that's set on dominating the world, then by all means, you have the right to believe whatever, but don't go berserk and insult Muslims.
If you disagree with Islam, say it! But don't resort to vulgarity, it's unnecessary and it does hurt some people.
Well it is hard not to use vulgarity when the guy you worship raped is captives wifes and molested an 8 year old girl, Aisha. I'd call that vulgar, wouldn't you?Quote:

Islam has nothing to do with terrorism.
It's just very convenient for certain people (non-islamic, by the way) to stir arabs into religious frenzy. By offending religious sense of all arabic world one could never hope for any peace there.
What will young arab children in Lebanon learn from their teachers? That killing is wrong? That jews and arabs will have to learn to live together? No, they will learn that jews are bad because they've bombed their school/home. They don't care about the causes of the war. Neither they care for Hezbollah, Government and other adult matters. They just want to go out and play. They should be taught how to be tolerable and not how to hate. By bombing arabs jews would accomplish nothing but raising another generation of jews-haters.
There are much more arabs than jews in the Middle East and Israel might run out of bombs but it won't kill all arabs.
It's good there are USA which support Israel pouring huge amounts of money in that boiling pot every year, but what will jews do if USA due to some worsening of economy reduces or stops completely the funding of Israel? I'm afraid that in this case Israel will simply cease to exist.
I will not dignify this with a response..Quote:

I would never accept the nothion that all this war is just about religion and religious hate between jews and arabs.
Wars happen because of three and three things only: power, money and territory.
Dear, Yazeed. I'm defenitely not intended to offend you. But I think, if youre an educated muslim you shouldnt just get offended. But tell us how it really written in Koran. Because offended blind believers cut throats insted of teaching IMHOQuote:

I hate fundamentalists, and I would help anyone against Islamic fundamentalists, but please don't put the moderate Muslims in the same picture as these terrorists.

She was lying in in her bedroom suckling her newborn child, while her other small children slept nearby.

They then made her watch the murder of all four of her children, before raping and then stabbing her repeatedly to death. After the murder when the Muslims went to inform the Prophet, he said "You have done a service to Allah and his Messenger, her life was not worth even two goats!"
