Jerusalem, the world's capital

[Lyndon]

Yeah you don't go out stabbing random people, you go straight to support the zionist IDF bombing huge bombs on innocent civilians in Gaza, 2000 dead.

Yes, that was horrible. Almost makes it seem like firing rockets into Israel from civilian areas is a bad idea.

 

[Lyndon]

Here in Southern California we have a lot of gun violence by gangs, way way more people killed by gang members than killed by Palestinian bottle rockets, do we bomb gang infested neighborhoods, Police go in with machine guns and start shooting everyone. NO, why, because we are a semi civilized country.

 

[Yerda]

Jerusalem should be the capital of the world, the capital of peace, it should be managed
by the UN and special forces should be installed for observing peace and security.

I can't see that being an acceptable solution to the people who are causing the violence.

This is the problem.
As long as religion gives people the belief that their opinions and wishes are more important than other people's that place is going to be a problem.

Yes everyone was a civilian.

Oh and how did I go to support it? Did I murder me some Palestinians?

Palestinian bottle rockets

Ah yes. Qassam Rockets are up to 244cm long. I did not know that there are such large bottles.
But you have always been a fan of those people.

Here another "bottle rocket".

Where can I buy them for new years in 2 months? Bottle rockets are quite the big thing in Germany so I am thinking about going really big this time.
Should I worry about a 90kg warhead falling down in some neighbouring city? I mean its just a bottle rocket.

This thread is evidence that the Israeli Jews are just as uncompromising and violent as the Palestinian Muslims.

 

[Lyndon]

You said it!!!!

 

[Jumi]

The religious fighting over "holy land" is one reason why I'm happy not to be religious or an Abrahamic. Sorry but that's how I think. It's not holy to me, I just wish people there would be able to live in peace.

People are mental; this is the problem.

I disagree completely.
While there is plenty of blame to spread around, the two cultures are very different. They are profoundly different when it comes to "uncompromising and violent".

Given the amount of evidence on this subject I don't see how anybody can miss it.

[columbus]

People are mental; this is the problem.

And abrahamic religion tends to feed that by teaching people to believe in ancient prophets and ethics, even when they're wrong.
Not all of the people, or all of the time. But that is the one consistent thread that runs through them.

yes, how dare they insist on not being stabbed and blown up! The nerve.

Well then shouldn't you be giving back your land and home to native Americans??? Plus there is no evidence the Jews were the earliest settlers of Israel/Palestine, in fact according to their own scriptures they were not.

Erm... we kinda have. The casinos on native lands are tax exempt as well as the cigarettes. Rather you like it or not the Native Americans, like the Palestinians, are a conquered people. The Palestians should take a lesson from the Native Americans and start opening world class casinos in their territory so graciously given to them by the Israelis.

I never said the Jews were the original occupants, I just said they were there way before anyone else in today's world.

 

[Lyndon]

You have no evidence, The Assyrians might have been the original occupants.

... you think building a casino on a Native reservation is (kinda) 'giving the land back'? Really?

If by "given to them" you mean 'not yet stolen', sure.

I never said the Jews were the original occupants, I just said they were there way before anyone else in today's world.

I actually think the land's original occupants (as in the people born on that land) were there before anybody else in today's world. That would include the people who have been illegally thrown out of their homes to make way for Jewish settlers. But that whole 'they were there first' argument, curiously, doesn't apply to them.

Rather you like it or not the Native Americans, like the Palestinians, are a conquered people.

You have an attitude like this and you wonder why they keep fighting? What would have happened if various nations in Europe had just rolled over and utterly submitted during WW2? The complete annihilation of Europe's Jews, that's what. The survivors who went on to found Israel owed their lives to people who refused to submit to a tyrant pressing his boot down on their throats.

When the Israelis gave the Gaza strip to the Arabs, there were fully functioning greenhouses in place. The first thing the Arabs did when it was in their control was destroy them. They glory in death and destruction. Nowadays their only industry is bomb making, munitions, and tunnel building. The arabs have no interest in developing a functioning economy. Their actions speak louder than their words.

Gave the Gaza strip to the Arab????? It was their's in the first place!!
