Damn it Abbey... you made me choke up a perfectly good swallow of Pabst! I love your humor girl. Please never change!

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Abbey again.

Do I read you right that you think Israel is hated for being ruthless? It goes back much further than any behavior you may be seeing as ruthless. If Israel was left to live in peace, do you think they would be aggressors? Arabs make no secret of the fact that they want Jews to cease to exist. Do you see Israelis acting or speaking in those terms?

You're right, it does go back much further than anything we're seeing today. It goes back to when Israel was created on Arab lands by the abomination called the U.N.
It doesn't matter if Israelis want to be left alone and live in peace, the Palestinians and surrounding Arabs view it as land taken from them, and they are willing to fight/die for it.

Israel was created by the Balfour Agreement in 1924 out of land forfeit by the Ottoman Empire for being on the losing end of WWI. The land wasn't taken. They LOST it.

It was just released on our local news that one of the 3 men captured is from my neck of the wood's about 10 miles from my house to be accurate. God Bless them and pray for a speedy return home.

So, should Israel cease to exist, to make nice?

An agreement that no doubt the people in the area didn't agree with. The "legality" of the state of Israel is irrelivant, what matters is there are people willing to fight and die for it.

The Alamo was once "lost" too, doesn't mean Mexico has any right to it now because Mexico lost its will to continue fighting for it.

Until Palestinians are unwilling to fight for it, there will always be a war over the land, thats all I am saying.

That's a good point, but since the UN ties the hands of the Isralies, they have not been able to do what has to be done, and kill enough of their enemy to make him realize he needs to reset his goals.

In my opinion. no, but they should at least go back to the originally defined borders, and allow palastinians to return. That land should not be solely Israeli or palastinian but a dual ownership enterprise.

So you think the UN should relent and let Israel continue to murder the palastinians???--- GOOD PLAN-----"NOT"
