I will continue to argue on here until every last one of you is convinced that the war in the middle east is truly, and utterly America's and Israel's war. I cry for Palestine man, along with all the other countries destroyed by these war mongers, I really do. |

| Originally posted by Dr. Z Anas, all the politics you've mentioned above are obvious and old. But that's not the problem anymore. It would've been nice to know that 50 years ago when israel was formed. The problem is that currently the palestinian muslims and the israelis don't see it that way. I've watched interviews with palestine region muslims, and most of them say, it's a religious war. A war between islam and jews. Some jews see it that way too. Not such a high percentage of jews though, because a lot of them in istrael are not from the middle east, but from europe and russia, who just don't give two shits and are just saving their asses. (They were kicked out of there due to the Nazis and the Commies btw). So they really had nowhere else to go. In any case, the conflict is now so convoluted, that it's pointless to look at history to place blame, but to try comprehend what is going on currently, and try to figure out what can be done. If you're trying to save lives, peacekeeping is the only thing you can do. If you've got oil investments in the middle east, then you pray israel doesn't perish. If you've picked a side and use the word of god to justify it then you're retarded, and if you don't care about the region, I guess you wouldn't be in this thread. |

| Originally posted by Adam420 Look buddy I lived in Israel for most of my life, I have friends in the army, most likely some of which are deployed as we speak. Hell, I used to regularely visit a restaurant in Haifa that was one day blown apart by a suicide bomber. If you want to have an intelligent discussion I can guarantee to provide one. There are many things I can tell you that you don't know, things, in fact, that will support your argument. On the other hand however, no matter how ard you try, there are also things you don't know that could be used against your argument. The Israli government plays dirty. I admit it. A lot of them are crooks, I admit that too. I further admit that there is a certain movement in Israel which does not necessarily want to see an end to the way. Also I can tell you that Israeli children grow up without knowing about the horrors that the Plaestinians faced in 1948, and neither about the ones they are faced with right now, which of course interferes with any hope one might have that the Israelis themselves develop a sympathy for their Arab neigbors in any significant numbers. But at the same time, you fail to admit that this is a 2-sided conflict. Your views are, to say the least, not far from being extreme. You speak of Israel as if it attacks unprovoked, as if the blood of its innocents has never been shed, as if it does not itself need to struggle to survive. I'd gladly discuss this further, and I hope by my post that you can see that I am perfectly capable of representing both sides. I admit that most people, even the majority that argues in Israel's favor, is quite ill-informed. Indeed it is very easy to critisize actions taking place thousands of miles away from one's own bedroom, which is unfortunate if I may say. You on the other hand, are not capable of arguing for both sides, as demonstrated by your posts, and until that changes, I do not believe most will take you seriously. |

| Originally posted by Anas Attia Fellow TA's... EDM lovers, and generally good people. To those who are writing to support Israel, I�d like to make it clear that I cry inside when I see your posts... do you cry inside when you see my posts supporting Palestine? I bet you that you do not, because you frame of mind cannot comprehend the Palestinian point of view. You are at home, comfortable and unaware of the real issues, you are brainwashed to believe that Israel is nothing but a god loving nation who is PROTECTING itself against the evil Palestinians and their backward ways. You will find that that ideology couldn't be further from the truth. yada yada yada Do not be a sheep. |

You would think that my affiliations to Israel would skew my views, and you know what? In most cases it would. Unlike most, however, I have educated myself quite well about the plight of the Palestinians. I want peace for the Palestinians just as much as I want it for the Jewish people. You may not blieve that but it's the truth.
I do not disagree with critisizm towards Israel. You will not find me doing so. You will, however, find me arguing against those who who critisize Israel without admitting their own mistakes, or at the very least, leaving themselves open to critisizm.
And trust me, I know first hand about the conditions that the Arabs in Israel live in. Growing up in the country I always wondered why yhey had subjected themselves to those conditions. I think most Israelis think that way growing up. but when I got older and started evaluating the situation from a 360 degree angle, I realized it was'nt out of choice that they were living in slums. I understood the real truth and it disgusts me.
But again, let me go back to an earlier point that I made. Suppose a couple of suicide bombers blow themselves up in two Israeli cafes. Let's say one in Tel Aviv the other in Jerusalem. I think that most would agree that a retaliation is in order. Do you actually expect Israel to send suicide bombers into the territories? No, they will send their tanks/fighter jets, as they are capable of doing. And while civilians may get hurt, atl east it wasn't intentional as with the attacks that had provoked them.
This is very much a two-sided conflict. I don't know under what kind of illusion you are that this is not. Both sides are wrong, plain and simple. Both are aggressors and both are victims. Israel just happens to be the stronger one. It doesn't make sense to fault a nation because it has superior firepower.
Anyway this seems more and more pointless. No I will not post any retarded conspiracy videos because Israel does'nt make any. Only the extremeist Arabs have the need to make those, because the truth is not enough to back their cause. Do you notice that I'm not attacking the Arab cause? I believe in it, but I also believe in Israel's right to defend itself. Strange that I'm an Israeli Jew that holds such views but I think it enables me to see deeper into the situation than you ever would.
Until you prove that you are going on anything more than media, your arguments are pointless. Att he same time, I am not making any arguments, I'm just trying to make sure no stupid and uninformed ones get made.
Ive said what I've said.
Those who are still arguing with me can stay in blissful ignorance, while Israeli tanks are bombing entire families in their homes.
I think i'm gonna stop posting on TA, because I emotionally cannot keep this up, I don't want to be a quitter, but I have bigger fish to fry than the few of you who cannot change their views... you can keep them... One day I hope you will see the light of factual evidence, but I cant see that day being anytime soon.
And Abercrombie, many people bring up that i'm a DJ, this and that, but that should have nothing to do with being compassionate to people's lives and lively hoods.
And when you say WE are ignorant, you make it seem that I said YOU as in everyone, I meant those with the view against the Palestinians are and i never said Ignorant.
"TA being a drop in the bucket", is a drop in the bucket I could help show the light, whats wrong with that? one drop at a time.
and my "view" is not the only view, obviously, but its the view that is harshly overlooked by almost everyone in north America. Am i right?
And you last note about us all wanting peace. do you think WANTING it hard enough will make it so? I hope more people could act like I do and show off what they know and share with the world to insure peace will happen.
Back to the DJ think, I would drop my DJ career in a heartbeat if I can make peace in the middle east for even one minute.
This issue is never going to end, or maybe it might end one day in some horrible destructive manner.
Other issues like this r
The protestants and the Catholics in Northern Ireland etc
India and Pakistan over Kashmir
Its never going to end...
Lets just take break, and relax.

I've seen enough documentaries. The fact that you have to realize is that the Palestinians have developed a nasty image for themselves by way of the tactics they use. Also, Israel develops most of its military technology on its own. In fact, some may say Israeli technology is the best in the world. Most modern advances in Israel's military have been developed internally. In fact, Israel sells weapons systems to the United States and to other militaries. Anyway, that is totally a side topic.
And by making the statement you made just now, you're basically addmitting that the Palestinians send suicide bombers just because they feel like they are under threat, not necessarily because they are. Do you remember how the second intifada started? When Ariel Sharon visited the Dome of the Rock. His visit, whuich was a respectful one, thank you very much, enraged them so much that they felt a need to stage another uprising. I'm sorry but that is unreasonable.
And you say that because I smoke weed I sould see the truth. Well I see the truth, more clearly than you it seems to me. I keep admitting that the Israeli side is WRONG WRONG WRONG in what it does but you on the other hand cannot find it in yourself to fault the Palestinians one single bit. Will news flash: until you do your argument is pointless. And yes it's the Palestinian's fault for havging walls built around the, If they weren't so aggressive, a fact you cannot possibly deny, then Israel would not have to be aggressive towards them.
As for denying my claim that there never was a Palestine until after the formal declaration of the independence of the State of Israel, you are clearly showing how little you know. Do you even realize that much of Palestine was UNINAHABITABLE before the Jews got there? The whole area was swamplands, the Jews came in, laboured and made the area habitable. Tel-Aviv was a sand dune for god's sake, you think the Arabs would have ever taken the initiative to build a city of its magnitude?
I always liked to say that a major cause for frustration among the Arab world and especially the Palestinians is jealousy. They know they could nevwer have done with that land what the Jews have done. I'm sorry I know I am offto pic but I felt like expressing this.
What upsets me is that you think you have such a crystal understanding of the issue at hand. Even I don't know close to everything and I guarantee that you are in the same situation, if not worse.
It has become very easy to paint Israel as an aggressor in the past few years. There certainly saeems to have been a movement building up that condemns its actions. Good I say, because Israel deserves some downward pressure and a reality check. But when these same people go into areas with which they are unfamiliar, and start to say things they do not REALLY know, I get somewhat angry.
