Obama is all for Israel. Don't fool yourself. |
But Israeli lives *are* more valuable. We were chosen by God, and there's no getting around that fact. |
You should all go and check your data.
Remind me how many people were killed by arabs in Syria just in the last couple of yeara? Was it because of Israel? How many were killed by arabs in Iraq? Was that Israel too? How many were killed by arabs all through the middle east and beyond? One has to understand that if Israelis were really interested in killing Palestinians, then the number of dead would be higher than the two examples above, not a small fraction. Plus, next time think about what would you do when someone rains rockets on your city. |
You need to check your data as well. Those other situations are tragic and of course I condemn the killing. But, the death toll in Gaza has exceeded 1,000 now. That would be a lot of deaths in such a short time period in either Syria or Iraq. The comparison to those conflicts no longer reflects positively on Israel. Israel has literally reached the level of Assad and ISIS. Which country do you think this photo is from? It could be Syria, Iraq, or Gaza. It is Gaza: ![]() |
Such an intelligent argument PP. Now I'm convinced. ![]() |
They are not living "with" or "beside" Israel, Israel is occupying their land and limiting their ability to live, even in Gaza. |
For the Pakistan situation to be equivalent, the British would have had to promise the same land to the Hindus and Pakistanis. Then they would have had to divide the land up so that Muslims got half, and Hindus got half, despite the fact that Hindus outnumbered Muslims 10:1. This would have required the displacement of about 390 million Hindus from their homes instead of the modest 7 million Hindus. So even given the more equitable division of India, they still had four wars: 47, 65, 71 and 99. They had decades of communal riots. Mahatma Gahndi was assassinated, and so was Indira Gandhi. Again to make the situation comparable today, India would be occupying Pakistan and Bangladesh. They would strictly control the goods and people going into and out of these two countries. And if Pakistanis did so much as throw rocks in protest, they would be considered terrorists. |
Actually, it wasn't even 50.50 They allocate 56% of Palestine for a Jewish state when the Jews at the time only owned 6% of the land and formed 30% of the population. |
and the root of this controversy is . . .
drum roll, please . . . RELIGION! |
Re Hitler, didn't ethnic cleansing also happen in Rwanda and Bosnia? And the whole world knew it was going on and no one did anything to help. |
Go read the history of Hungary. |
Isn't that because of the actions of the Palestinians? |
You really aren't good at analogies are you? |
No. |
