ironstone Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 I don't hold out much hope of peace in that part of the world,at least not for many years into the future.I believe the majority of Israelis would like nothing better than to achieve a lasting peace with their enemies.The sad fact is,even if 99% of Palestinians want peace as well,to date they have shown no ability at all to control those who want the complete destruction of Israel.The latest military action taken by the Israelis is a direct response to rocket attacks courtesy of the cowards of Hamas.It is most unfortunate the civilians are dying in the Gaza Strip but there can be little doubt that Hamas members deliver their attacks hidden behind innocent civilians.What a stark contrast,one side deliberately attacks civilians,while the other side tries to give ample warning before striking. As for the distribution of aid in the region,Israel certainly recieves a lot,mostly from the United States.After Yasir Arafat died,I was shocked at the amount of money flowing to the Palestinians....much of it from the hated West of all places!Arafat certainly was a wealthy man by the way,possibly worth billions.Gosh,I wonder how he got all that money? Israel has flourished under the same conditions as her neighbors,and is democratic as opposed to the Arab dictatorships.Nothing would make me happier than to see lasting peace in that troubled region,but it does not appear to have much chance.There are ominous threats on the horizon.Israel may be overwhelmed by shear weight of numbers alone.It seems the Palestinian population is rising dramatically,and sadly each and every one will be taught to hate Israelis and Jews alike.Another looming threat is the nuclear one.Is there a single Hamas supporter out there that can honestly say they wouldn't use a nuclear weapon against Israel if they had the chance? What are your thoughts? Quote Beware the Brookfield industrial complex...

I think you're trolling. By the way, why did you put a little space between your words? Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
