Deep down, as much as i hate the whole modern crusade stuff.


I feel it would only give some kind of legitimacy to them disrupting the Isaelis. Even rallying "jihadists" from other countries to help. (I think I agree)

They (Israel) are there, they are happy, they are prospering the arabs feel it is some kinda "crusade" thing IMHO.

At the same time, who are we to question their legitimacy? They got the worlds attention.

But being a skeptic
Was this decision made to protect Israel?
I think that was the major function of it, and as much as I dislike the culture, I will say I feel a certain compassion towards them, and how their humanity is minimized due to the zealots that lead them. (the Palistinians)

The whole thing is frustrating to me, I just wish I can figure out which party is the "agressors". Both sides hands are filthy with blood.

Maybe I am just jaded, thinking people can be tolerant of other beliefs. We can't even do that here in America.

Don't know, don't care. I was tweaking the other guys. The Palestinians never wanted autonomy under the Jordanians. This thing started with Arafat, and I believe it really is just one more way to "get Israel".

That said, I have less problems with Israel or the Palestinians as I do with all the outsiders, us included, who feel the need to interfere. The UN is a joke, and this is one of their funniest.
