Default State of Israel

What do you think of it? Is it proof that they are still God's chosen people or are they just boiling with hate for Palestinians because they're Muslims?

Okay. Here's an interesting article about it. I don't necessarily agree with everything this guy thinks, but shutting people up because of their beliefs often leaves a voice out.



Israel and Palestine

If you're going to post anything as reference material, please try and consider the source first. I do not consider ANYTHING on David Duke Online to be credible.

Just because has an agenda you don't like doesn't mean he's not telling the truth. I often see statistics there.



Either way, no one's posting anything so, I might as well introduce somebody's idea.


And another thing: what is credible material? Is it because it doesn't have Uncle Sam or TV's stamp of approval?

First I would try looking for a site was wasn't sponsored by a former Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan.

That should have been your first clue.

They both feel God gave it to them... both are children of Abraham. They are fighting for what God wants for them... the Jews don't hate them because they are Muslims, they hate them because they feel they are on their land.

Everybody just wants to have a place they can call home. There is still room on Earth for each to have a home of their own, this is just a matter of stubborness.

This is more than a "I just don't want to what you tell me" type thing. These people believe that the land that they're fighting over was given to them by God. This is their land. That's why they're willing to fight and die and kill for it.

Actually if you haven't noticed yet the Earth is becoming very crowded. And you actually believe that because someone is on "your land", you have a valid reason to send your army and put 1000s out of their homes, killing people in the process?

If they were truly faithful to God, they would accept the fact that he created all the lands, not just that plot.

The only thing causing death here is a lack of faith and stubborn minds.

No... You don't get it... Its not that they believe God made that land so its their's. They believe God actually gave it to them; said "here, this is your's. I am giving it to you."

While yes, I think everyone would be better off if they just got over it and stopped fighting, mere stubborness is not why they won't do so.

Well obviously the problem here is poor organization skills. Unless someone recorded the day this event occured and witnessed the situation for themselves, then that reason is invalid and cannot be used as testimony for ownership of the land. Case dismissed.

If someone punches me in the face, and I want to press charges, I'd better hope someone besides myself witnessed the beating or else that person didn't do a thing to me. I'm sorry, but unless people stop lying, that's the way our world must work. Case closed.

.... Are you being serious or are you joking? The answer decides whether I think you were an idiot for posting that or not.
