Israel will fight as long as it takes ONLY AS FAR AS TO SECURE IT'S OWN SAFETY. Compare that to the Palestinians and the Arab world as a whole who will NEVER STOP SLAUGHTERING ISRAELI WOMEN AND CHILDREN UNTIL ISRAEL IS DESTROYED AND PALESTINE IS THIERS. Those words are from numerous leaders around the muslim middle east including Palestinian leadership so don't tell me which side is intent on being more violent and evil.
I used to feel like this. Very pro-Israeli. I never understood the hatred past the rethoric of the anti-Jew leaders.
Then one day about 15 years ago, I visited a very elderly Palestinian couple in El Cerrito, CA. They were wonderfully nice people. Very funny and charming. I try an avoid discussing religion, politics or economics in person with people i don't know becuase it's almost always a waste of time. (not like here on this forum. lol) I asked him how he came to the United States. He told me he came in after the Israelis took over his country n the late 1940's. He said one day they came to his house, that he owned and his famialy had been living in for many years, and threw his whole family into the street with their belongings. He was so angry becuase he felt they had no right to do that. Shorty afterwards he found his way to the United States.
I understood that day why some of these arabs hate the Jews so much. To think Jews don't commit murder the same as the Palistinians is naive. Don't think for one second that the press in the US isn't influence by Jews to some extent. Do the research and i think you'll find they have large financial interests in these areas.
"You're unbelieveable dude, Israel is amongst the worst in the world when it comes to human rights violations." Are you fucking kidding me??? The few violations they've committed were done with real reasons behind them.
Regardless of real reasons or not.
Killing innocent women and children is murder. And they have both (jews and arabs) done that.
Meeting those people 15 years ago gave me a more objective view of what's really going on. Both sides are very guilty.
