Relevance said:So Clinton lied too. Big deal. I never said I trusted him, or any politician for that matter. I don't.
No factual basis on the Israel/Palestine portion of my post? May I suggest you do some reading? Resurrecting Empire by Rashid Khalidi is a good start. Also, what exactly has no "factual basis" in my post? The media hardly covers the deaths of Palestinians as a result of Israeli attacks, which is why it seems that more Israeli civilians are killed by Palestinian terrorists. And attacks by Hamas have been blamed on the Palestinian Authority which is just plain stupid because the two groups are rivals. And don't take my total distrust for the Israeli state as anti-Jewish. I'm not against Jews. I'm against what the Israeli state is doing. I think that the common Palestinian people and Israeli people need to work together if they ever want to make real peace because the authorities on both sides are basically garbage.
I might agree that the authorities are somewhat useless, but how can you be against what the State of Israel is doing if you are sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians? They have been given a portion of land that they have been fighting for. Something that Netanyahu would have never agreed to. Your previous posts were borderline Anti-Semitic in my opinion so I wanted you to clarify your postion. At least it seems that you are not based on this last post.
This debate is for another thread. However, Arabs and Jews do work together in Isreal. Why can this not be the case in Gaza or other Palestinian areas? It is because palestinians do not want peace, they want all of Israel and the move from Gaza will not satisfy them. If you would like to start a thread on this please do so and invite me to it. In the thread you can provide "Factual Basis" for the Palestinian people and the land they claim is theirs. You can also state your reasons for why Israel should let the Palestinians attack them without defending themselves.
It will make for interesting reading, and will allow me to defend the position of Israel without hijacking the intentions of this thread
