It's irrelevant and meant to divert attention from your unfounded pro-Israeli argument.

It's purely a tribal/pick-a-side thing. The majority of politards are christians. It's no surprise the popular/choice tribe in the bible belt is Israel.

Awesome. I was pretty much the only tourist. I just did a day layover in Cairo. Saw the pyramids and the Egyptian museum during the day then flew down to aswan that night. In aswan, I saw the unfinished obelisk and the temple of philae. I didn't get to see the temple of Horus at edfu but heard it was impressive. The next morning, I took a three hour mini van down to Abu simbel to see the temple of ramses 2. Took the train to luxor the next day. I saw valley of the kings (incredible), temple of Hatshepsut, medinet habu, and tombs of the nobles on the West Bank. That evening I took a Falooka out on the Nile, smoked some Egyptian grass, swam with the locals, and ate Ramadan dinner feast with them. Next day I did the east bank: temple of Karnak, temple of luxor and the luxor museum. I flew to cairo the next day and just hung out downtown. Cairo seems to be becoming more relaxed. I didn't see a lot of people wearing burkas or traditional garbs there like in the south. It seems to be westernizing a bit since Morsi was ousted. Overall an awesome experience.
Sounds like a great time!

It's not irrelevant when Muslims did exactly the same things to the Jews that whites did the blacks here in the US.

and one did the same thing that we did to the Indians.

Not against Israel, but they made their bed when they refused to give Palestine anything.

They live second class, in walled off areas with little access to resources. They are being pushed.

Pushed much harder than a 3 pence per pound tea tax...

808bass refuses to acknowledge this. He'll probably try to create another analogy to mend his precarious argument.

The Palis are in a tough spot, I'll give you that. They have to decide between living and hating Jews. They pick hating Jews every fricking time.

If you'd quit trying to lie about the history of Jewish-Islamic relationships, I wouldn't have to keep correcting you.

There's a difference between hating an oppressor/terrorist and a religious group. Ignorant generalization bass boy. Why do you continue to support Israel? 30 pages, and you've still dodged the OP.

Are you saying that Palestinian animosity towards the Jews isn't at least partially religiously based? I wouldn't be surprised you believed that.

You have been corrected on this lie several times and yet continue to perpetuate it. It's intentional lying at this point for the purpose of propaganda.

Burt, I don't think people support Israel as much as you think. More people are indifferent but don't blame them for doing what they are doing on a short sighted bases. Most don't want to try to dive in a fix something from the 40s. The facts are that the global community recognizes Israel who is getting shelled and no one blames them for going in and stopping the shelling..... Don't think the support for the most part goes past that.

Palestinians come across as a huge joke by backing Hamas and them keep shelling Israel which accomplishes shite but gets the hammer brought down on them. Darwinism at work in Gaza.

No, this isn't a one-sided deal.

quote:

First of all, how do you know Palestinians back Hamas? Do Americans back Obama?

For that matter, did Hamas even win the "election?"

quote:

keep shelling Israel
Yet living in slums under the thumb of Israel never enters the conversation. Why do you think that is?

That's like asking if Black folks' animosity towards Whites during the Jim Crow era was race-based. Israel's oppression of the Palestinians is solely religiously-based, so it's human nature for the Palestinians to respond in kind. FYI, Palestinians live amongst and even intermarry Christians, so I don't see why the same wouldn't be true for Jews, if Israel abandoned its apartheid ideology of Jewish supremacy. FYI, both Hamas and Hezbollah accept Christians and Hezbollah even supported the restoration of a Beirut synagogue that was badly damaged in the Lebanon war.

Very very poor example.
Jews and Muslims coexist in many countries, including Israel.

How does that coexistence work out in muslim theocracies?

I'm against theocracies of any kind, but Jews do seem to be getting along in Iran okay.
