Israel weren't occupying that land, the UN would not be dealing with the terrorist problem as we know it today.

Justifiable Conquest and occupation. They won the land via Conquest. It is theirs.

As to the terrorist problem we have today, I believe the prevalence of social media and the free flow of information and thoughts globally is the real cause for the uptick. Not some justifiable Conquest 60 years ago.

The fact that a terrorist cell in but frick Egypt can reach, contact, and sway others thousands of miles away is much much more responsible than any war was.

Proof that having CCTV everywhere and your entire population being under constant surveillance still can't protect against these kinds of attacks when incompetent people are in charge.

you do realize that UN backing of Israel is 100% the cause of terrorism by radical Islam right?

---

That is quite a statement to make.

And an incorrect one at that. Is it A cause? Absolutely. Is it The only cause? Absolutely not.

And like I said earlier. The reason for the uptick In worldwide terrorism has much more to do with the internet, social media. And the free flow of information and discussion world wide.

If I must, I will rephrase my question so as not to offend you. The main reason we are seeing the radical islamic terrorism that we have seen since the 90's is because we back Israel. Sure, social media helped spread the message, but that message has largely been about the west backing Israel.

Do you remember Osama's letter about 9/11? The entire thing was about Israel

We all need a scape goat. Israel is the Muslims scape goat since it's inception. If Israel was wiped off the face of the planet tomorrow, we would still have Islamic terrorism the day after.

But you can see how a native American living in America could think negatively towards America right?

When did I say otherwise?

Terrorism isn't stopping because terrorism has Been waged since time immortal. And always will be.

The reason it is more prevalent, once again, is because of the internet, social media, and the spread of information worldwide.

Dude, you know that I'm talking about the Islamic terrorism that we have been talking about. And sure, the internet has made it a big web, but without the occupation by Israel, we wouldn't be seeing this right now.

Thank you, that's all I was trying to say from the very beginning. You can take anything and hook it to a religious belief in order to justify it, fanatics have indeed been doing this since time Immemorial; but that doesn't mean the religion itself promotes those activities

Never said you did. Lol

And dude, you know that if it weren't Israel, it would be something else. The far east is a hot bed, for example. Even if Israel wasn't created after wwii, the hotbed that was the middle east would have drawn in some western power vying for control over the oil reserves.

Israel is just the catalyst they use. But if Israel was never created, we would still have the problems we have today.

Well anyone who tries to say that terrorism, at its root, is based on religion and not political aspects are willfully ignorant. Terrorism at its very core is perpetuated to usher in political change in one way or another.

but that doesn't mean the religion itself promotes those activities

The modern bastardization that is religious terrorism begs to differ. And this form is largely promoted and spread through the internet and social media.

Now, the upper echelon of leadership of these groups use the terrorism for political reasons, but they are carried out by lackies who see It as a religious cause. Not a political cause.

So really, in the modern day, terrorism is a bastardization of political and religious reasoning.

We're really just arguing semantics at this point though.

I think you'd be surprised by the number of people who do think that.

Good talk Jeep, it's always good to end a dialogue without all the venom that can come with it.
