Actually, I don't know how there are posters who can conveniently overlook the millions the Muslims have murdered. If Israel was governed by say Hindus, do you think there would be those on this forum who are constantly chastising Israel? It's only because the Jews are involved that they are here, and yet they think they are fooling the readers who have any sense..
If Israel was governed by Hindus who had colonized from India and was supported by the United States, then I would be doing the same thing. If Israel was governed by Roman Catholics who had colonized from Ireland and was supported by Irish-American Catholics and the United States then I would be doing the same thing.
The United States is my country, I am of Irish descent, and I belong to the Roman Catholic Church and when any of those bodies act with injustice, it affects me and I will say something. And the fact that I am a member of those bodies, what I say will have more of an impact.
The fact that Jews are involved, in my opinion, has very little to do with it other that, when Jewish people and other pro-Israelis use that as an excuse to defend Israel and cover up her wrongs. It provides a convemnient cover for those who actually are anti-Semites to the extent that anti=Semitism actually becomes less of a problem than those who fling the accusation about carelessly and frivolously.
I do not disregard Muslim violence at all. I just do not attribute it to their faith and instead attribute it to poverty and the exploitation of third world countries by first world countries. Of course, islam plays a part, but if they were Christians incunbered by similar burdens, the results would be the same and and Christianity would play that part.
Give people full bellies and hopeful hearts and they will return that gift with peace and love.
Sorry, Kiddo, I just read your first paragraph. I couldn't be bothered to read the rest of your usual blather, If you want to close your eyes to what is going on in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa, go for it. Keep on blaming Israel and the Jews for all the ills of the world. Why not parade up and down the streets of Seattle with a sandwich board saying that the Jews are so bad on one side, and on the other side the Israelis are so bad. Meanwhile, I think we are all aware of what is going on with regard to Christians on this day when they should be enjoying their special holiday instead of being blown apart.
