I visited France with my French ex. As I walked down the streets I was slack jawed at the women I saw. They got a female population that is smoking hot.

Give it up with entrenched Republicans/Neo Cons & Israel influence on American politics.
The fact Israel was mentioned around 34 times in the US Presidential debate should be a clue.
The fact that most Right Wingers had no problem with that is,........

interesting
was Israel the first successful "Welfare nation"?
The Jews didn't really do anything to deserve or earn the land,money,or weapons...did they?

their military successes haven't been that impressive in recent years, right?
just like what we have done in south and central america....give money and weapons to some group and they take over the Government(el salvador, guatemala, uraguay, etc,etc) Only one I can remebemer not working was Nicaragua, and that was due to Iran-Contra halting the operation.
Should we go around praising the successes of the El Salvadorian Junta and the 35,000 people they killed?

No really. They get too creative. Creative can be bad. Like this one place that fed brandy to sparrows until they got fat. Then killed them, plucked the feathers off and roasted them. You had to eat the whole sparrow... beak, head and all while wearing a towel over your head to get the aroma.

the original jews were arabs. Judism is a religeon not a race. Muslims didn't exist 2000 years ago because it hadn't been invented yet.
Exactly! It's amazing how folks conflate European Jews with Semitic Jews to justify the oppression of the Palestinians.

What did the Arabs do to deserve the windfall bonanza of oil they enjoy? NOTHING.
Truth of the matter is: If not for oil, the Middle East would be the biggest stain/blight on this planet. And with oil, it is still the biggest stain/blight on this planet. Secret: it isn't because of the Jews...
The hypocrisy of everyone defending the muslims is amusing as hell. I would venture to say that the majority of the posters on here defending the muslims would have been buried neck deep and stoned long ago. Yet, they hate Israel. Go Figure????

I see Indian Reservations in Oklahoma. Should we give the USA back to them?
We are giving Texas back to the Mexicans...so, why not kick all of the White Europeans out of the Continental US and ship them all back to Europe...and while we are at it, send the Blacks back to Africa, that way they can once and for all truly be "African Americans"...

I doubt that. Why would Goat herders feel the need to lash out? It's our involvement in the region, you have to know that.

I try...
If it wasn't for Israel, they would be fighting each other....Iraq/Iran. Iraq/Kuwait.
I wish that the USA would stay out of the whole thing. Israel is holding off on all-out, total-war due to the USA asking for restraint imo.

But when the Ottoman Empire was defeated by British Empire forces after the Sinai and Palestine Campaign in 1918, the Arab population was met with what it perceived as betrayal by the British. The British and French governments concluded a secret treaty (the Sykes-Picot Agreement) to partition the Middle East between them and, additionally, the British promised via the Balfour Declaration the international Zionist movement their support in creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Historically known as the site of the ancient Jewish Kingdom of Israel and successor Jewish nations for 1,200 years between approximately 1100BC-100AD, the region now had a large Arab population also from the 7th century. When the Ottomans departed, the Arabs proclaimed an independent state in Damascus, but were too weak, militarily and economically, to resist the European powers for long, and Britain and France soon established control and re-arranged the Middle East to suit themselves.Skyes Picot Agreement: Division of Territory
everyone conveniently forgets about the middle east prior to WW1

So, if Israel cannot base a claim on their land based on being there 3,000 years ago...how does the USA claim all of the land it holds? USA circa 1789.
If the Arabs want Israel so bad, they should just nut up and invade them. Quit bitching and moaning about it to the UN.

Probably the same reason anyone would want to live in Louisiana, or Baton Rouge--roots.
