The big bee in the bonnet of Ahmadinejad and the other mid-east kooks seems to be Israel - it's existence in the Mid East.

Personally, I think it's just a lightening rod - the same way Hitler directed hatred toward the Jews as a method of dictatorship ("direction of popular discontent").

Having seen enough footage and read enough direct quotes from radical fundamentalist Muslims, I'm convinced their goal goes a lot deeper than getting Israel out of Mid East.

It's pretty clear these people hate anyone who isn't like them. They want them dead or converted or subordinated. And they want to destroy freedom, the USA, and conquer the world. That is pretty clear.

I think it would be a very interesting test to see how these kooks would react if we all of a sudden agreed to move Israel to, say Germany.

Man. If all of these nutjobs weren't floating on oil, how wonderful it would be to face them down in the absence of an Israeli state.

Can you say obliteration?

Instead of moving it the US can just made it one of the states. It gives this country over 100MIL a year so it may as well become part of the US.

Why not turn it into an episode of Relocation, Relocation... :rolleyes:

Israel is where it is for a reason. The Zionists wanted it there, it was created even though the land was already occupied, so I say live with the consequences.

that is Definetly some good revisionist history you got there. Especially since the Jewish religion has been around far longer than Islam. And since the original inhabitants of the area practiced a form of the Jewish faith. I think it's only fair to see the Islamic religion can't quite call dibs on the basis they were there first.

By that logic, North America should be given back to North American Natives.

I don't know if you understand the connotation that "revisionist" has when it comes to history... but whatever the case, it may surprise you to learn that the Jews were defeated and forced to disperse from what is now Israel about two thousand years ago. They lost the land, and just like any other losing nation is not entitled to it. Over the centuries, there were always some Jews living in the region, but it was not until the late 19th century that there was a drive to reclaim the lost homeland. That's fact, not revisionism.

Only difference is the Native American Culture is almost extinct while the Jewish state thrives there still.

Members of many Native American groups would disagree stringly with you.

There were enough Jews still in there that it was the Jews who fought the Crusaders in Haifa and kept them out of the city. At the time of the crusades there were 50 sizable Jewish communities while the largest Jewish community was in Alexandria just across the river...

You're point being...? Jews lived in the region and got along relatively well with the Muslims until the Zionist movement came along in the late 19th century and tried to displace the Muslims?

All are Abrahamites - and they better get along soon. The world will not tolerate an ancient brotherly feud forever. What bothers me is that most Jews may celebrate their holidays but most are actually quite secularized. My brother and I sued a Jewish Child Protection group that took two of his infants on the grounds that his French Canadian Catholic wife was once married to a Jew. I noticed that they did not hire a "good Jewish law firm" _ but hired an upscale anglo one.

Having said that - what became apparent after they in five minutes converted his kids (note - Russian orthodox Christian father and Catholic mother) to their "religion" in a civil court...was the fact that our society gave them trememdous power. Their lawyers had the nerve to call us "nominal" Christians - as if they were experts....The case went all the way to the Supreme Court...IN the end I leaned one thing - The highly orgainized Jews were nothing but henchmen doing the dirty work of the elite anglo social controlers...This buisness that the Jews run the world is simply not true...again having said that.. It is about time that the west stop enforcing so-called protection of so-called Jews - most of which I noticed were NOMINAL..

Israel in my estimation what was once a good idea for the Jews is now but a tool for high powered Anglos and elite Europeans....The state is not holy - and to give one brother (Israel) a billion in aid - and the other brother (Palistine) 50 bucks.....Has the results of turning Palistine into a capitve slave state - and it is ironic that the Jews who go on about escaping ancient bondage - are now the surrogate keeper of a prison camp called Palistine - some one should set them straight - and stop spoiling them - we have a state of lazy brats who are dependant on nuclear bombs controled by America - and it is not the Jewish lobby - It is the anglo oil guys that USE the poor silly Jews...anyway - that's what I see.. Perhaps someone should finally tell the truth and bring peace - lies seemed not to be working. :P

That it is some what disingenous to say "some" jews when in fact it was a sizable population.

Jews lived in the region and got along relatively well with the Muslims until the Zionist movement came along in the late 19th century and tried to displace the Muslims?

Is this a question?

I still don't think you get it...

Probably because my wit isn't as tar like as yours.

Explain what the question is.

If it's too hard, just don't bother.

Actually communicating is your problem. And I was right, you aren't smart enough to explain ....

....what the question is....

Give you a hint ...questions have words in them like, "Why" "how" "when" "where" "if" "Do" "who" "can"....

If you still having trouble I can arrange for you to sit with leafless for some remedial arthritic English classes...

Goodness! Don't you know what the purpose of a "question mark" [one of these things --> ?] is? [<-- note "question mark"] The purpose actually needs to be explained to you? [note the absence of: "Why" "how" "when" "where" "if" "Do" "who" "can"...] :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

The "note the absence of" was in reference to this question "The purpose actually needs to be explained to you?" :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

We know that if Israel weren't there Muslims would live in peace with each other.
