A funny idea

[NeoBlade]

Arabs in general do not hate us. They all are, however, angry over Isreal. Why? Because the land that the jews got isn't theres.

The bibble is proof of this. Wayyyy back in biblical times, when the jews emerged from the wilderness into the holy land, the first thing they did was drive out the locals. Guess who those locals were? Well, it took about 1000 years but they got there land back in the dark ages and the jews disspersed all over the world.

Later, thanks to hitler, The jews get together and decide to take that land back again, and so they do.

Now, there you have it, because historical texts go back to practicly the begining of civilization in the contested area, there is quite a loonnnggg record on who has claims there.

Now, the israelies after conquering the west bank, settled it. Now the Palestinians living there still want control over that region, but the isrealis already there don't want to leave, they've got familys and such there now. So its become an embattled area. The palestinians hold NO power in israeli politics so they feel the only way to win back there land is through military activism.

THere you have it, the jews arn't innocent by any means, so don't fool yourself.

Now, theres the main gripe the AVERAGE arab has against us. Now the radicals hate us for just about everything eles, even the air we breath.

Lets hear it for the rest of the world. You are so much better than us.

Here is what the US will do:

1.retreat into isolationism
2.watch (of course more civilized and knowledgeable) Europe - for the 3rd time in 100 years or so - devolve into internecine warfare
3.As for the so-called Middle East (and Far and Near for that matter) - you keep killing each other over showing the soles of your feet to one another. Maybe you will do such a good job, we can just waltz in and take what we care about most - your energy resources.

Why should we care - or learn - about you? You haven't bothered to do it amongst yourselves for hundreds of years.

I have an idea- lets blame America for all your problems!!! Yes, a comforting idea that does not require you to try and better your own societies. You can go on killing each other and blame the US!

If you can't defend what you think is yours, you don't deserve it.

Learn some rules of survival on the planet that go beyond tribal hatreds in the 21st century!

hate to say this, but this is another example of an american speaking out without even being educated of the facts. The ignorance these days in people amazes me.

You'd do better for your opinion if you addressed his with a fact or argument rather than bemoaning with your pithy but totally unsupported assertion above.

I love to say this: this is another example of the weak hiding behind their only bogeyman: the perceived myth of American ignorance. You don't get it: we don't hate you at all, we don't even care that you admit to hating us. We just say this-leave us alone and stay out of the way. If you don't, then you will be removed from the picture. Or be strong enough to push us out of the picture.

It is really that simple. I'm sure you can find it in your tolerant heart.

Now go play with your C4-roughly.
