Its a tired leftist exercise to try romanticize Islamic extremism as being relative to Christianity. It does not excuse what is happening in Gaza and people like you can whitewash terrorism and piss on Israel but the here and now of Gaza is terrorists who use their citizens as fodder in a self-destructive exercise-a prolonged terroristy tantrum that Israel exists. The fact is all the huffing and blowing has gotten Palestinians no where and they can decide live peacefully or wipe themselves out. The choice is their choice. Blaming Israel for their rejection of peace and democracy is bullshit. Israel do es not rule inside Gaza anymore than it does Arab countries or the West Bank where Muslims live. A lot more people will die before Hamas moves o to its next political propaganda exercise of having its people use themselves as screaming idiot covers for Hamas terrorists. I am not the one using any holy book for any reason whatsoever. People who follow Christianity Judaism, and Islam all follow a book (to one extent or another), But what pisses me off is all those major religions have a book that really does not shine good light on any of the religions. To me, you are all idiots. That way I can be fair about it. I'll continue to piss on Israel if they continue to go along with the occupation and systematic take over of the West Bank via settlements roads and infrastructure fully supported by the Israeli government. All while their military is heavily supported by the USA and also given billions of money. Without that support, Israel would have imploded on day one. Israel seems to have some big friends in high places. Existence threatened my ass. But how about a trade, Hamas and Palestinians stop the terror from the open air prison, and Israel will dismantle and remove all settlements and infrastructure supporting it and revert back to the 67 border. Both sides are being total sticks in the mud and no progress is made. Question Rue.. Would you support it if Israel simply claimed Gaza and the West Bank as part of Israel? If so... why? Even if Hamas was disbanded and everyone laid down their weapons (must be low on rocks anyways) would you accept it? Edited May 26, 2018 by GostHacked Quote
GostHacked Posted May 26, 2018 Report Posted May 26, 2018 But again, Israel has tanks, heavily kitted soldiers and highly trained snipers. For what ever reason, I don't think the Palestinains or Hamas has that kind of firepower. Quote

What makes Christianity true to you? Because you were born and raised in it. I was raised without religion and yet I can tell what is right and what is wrong. I am lumping religions in with each other, not equating Christianity with Islamic terrorism. That would be stupid of me. I am talking the religions on the whole. But then you seem to have your own problem of terrorism in the USA committed by white guys who could be crazy Christians. But the terrorism bit never gets thrown on them. No, terrorism is strictly a label associated with Islam according to many here, including yourself. And not even really talking radical Islam, just Islam in general. But again this is thread drift and can get this thing locked by CA. So let's get back to the topic AGAIN. What Israeli propaganda are you falling for? Quote

That was to defend herself against the Arab armies, now that the arabs are to scared to take her on, they send their children to do the dirty work. How anyone could take the arab side on this is insane, unless it is hatred for them. Funny how the left in this world expects Israel to just roll over of them.

Their equipments were made in this century. In boosting our economy, Trudeau - would be better off taking a page or two from Israel! Here's a very interesting read..... Quote In 1950, just two years after the state of Israel was founded, the country’s first commercial delegation set off for South America. Israel desperately needed trading partners. Unlike its Arab adversaries, Israel did not have natural resources to fund its economy. There was no oil or minerals. Nothing. The delegation held a couple of meetings but was mostly met with laughs. The Israelis were trying to sell oranges, kerosene stove tops and fake teeth. For countries like Argentina, which grew its own oranges and was connected to the electrical grid, the products were pretty useless. It’s hard to imagine this is what Israeli exports looked like a mere 67 years ago. Today, Israel is a high-tech superpower and one of the world’s top weapons exporters with approximately $6.5 billion in annual arms sales. Since 1985, for example, Israel is the world’s largest exporter of drones, responsible for about 60 percent of the global market, trailed by the US, whose market share is under 25 percent. Its customers are everywhere — Russia, South Korea, Australia, France, Germany and Brazil. To this day, the Merkava tank is one of Israel’s most top-secret projects. It is said to be one of the most lethal and protected tanks in the world, and its construction started out of pure necessity — the United Kingdom and other countries refused to sell Israel tanks. So in the 1970s, it started to build its own. https://nypost.com/2017/01/29/why-israel-has-the-most-technologically-advanced-military-on-earth/ They have an excellent incentive. They have to!

Well, we all thing we know propaganda when we see it. Right? If the other side is being fed a line, do you ever consider what is being fed to you? 4 hours ago, betsy said: No, not ignored.

I just know it happens on both sides and support neither, while many have fallen for one side or the other due to being susceptible to propaganda. But fine, I shall jump on board and go one further, let's just put all the Palestinians in REAL prisons and huddle them naked in these chambers and put them in the long sleep. Wait, too much for you? To over the top? This is what you are advocating for anyways. Genocide. making the Nazi ideology tried and true and kept alive by ignorance like this. 4 hours ago, betsy said: Who cares whether they have backers or not.....whether they have supporters or not. It still is amazing how they've managed not only to survive and win.....but to build up in such a short time. Actually it matters a lot. Since that is the case, there was no way they would lose anyways. So Jews not only bought up a lot of land, but imported a crap load of military hardware set up shop THEN declared themselves a nation, knowing they would win if anyone had an issue with it, as the surrounding nations were very lacking in military hardware and tactics. (some created after this whole thing). That's quite the feat. Without those backers, we would not be even talking about Israel. 4 hours ago, betsy said: I mean, isn't Israel more powerful than Canada, warfare-wise? Their equipments were made in this century. Israel would destroy our military. They also have nuclear weapons, top notch defence systems, and a very powerful and global reaching spy intelligence network. Now that's also interesting that a nation that is about half the age of Canada, but is yet way more advanced in these areas than we are. Money and weapons flowed in.. from somewhere. So by means of a lot of foreign power is the reason how Israel got started and how it continues to flourish to this day. With out it, Israel would collapse. Although this is not a fair comparison, but when the USA retired the F-14 Tomcat, Iran could no longer get parts for their jets. So their air force took a huge hit as they had to consider a complete replacement with a completely different supply chain. Holy crap, that is right. the USA actually did military deals with Iran back in the day. Interesting. So Trudeau may be falling for that propaganda or actually putting it forth himself. I would say he is not that naive as a groomed 'leader' or propagandist if you will. He did not fall for anything, he always supported it, perhaps. Quote
