I'd like to see someone break down the other side like this.

Truth is simple. Lies are complicated.

Ironically, each time Israel is overtly attacked, she gets stronger. This is lost on the dumbasses.

Dennis Prager doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground.


Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain in 2010 called Gaza “an open-air prison,”

NY Times

the vast majority of Gazans are effectively trapped, unable to seek refugee status across an international border.

A 25-mile-long rectangle just a few miles wide, and one of the most densely populated places in the world, Gaza is surrounded by concrete walls and fences along its northern and eastern boundaries with Israel and its southern border with Egypt.

Even the Mediterranean Sea to the west provides no escape. Israel restricts boats from Gaza to three nautical miles offshore. And Gaza, its airspace controlled by Israel, has no airport.

The problem with the Middle East is a lack of beer, bars, and strip clubs.

He nailed it. As Michael Savage said, aggressors make the rules. Israel has no choice but to follow the rules set by surrounding Muslim aggressors.

Western influence has led to radicalization. Islam has been cool plenty of times in the past, without the Jihad nonsense that's going on today. The Ottoman Empire's downfall was a huge loss.

see my sig quote. play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

If they hadn't started suicide bombing Israel, the walls and fences wouldn't be necessary and wouldn't exist.

Have you never heard of the Stern Group? Terrorist Jewish bombers.

Maybe you should google them instead of starting your placing of blame at some arbitrary point in time.

I didn't place blame at some "arbitrary point in time", I blamed the lunatics exploding suicide bombs in Israel for necessitating the security walls.

Nor did I say that Israel's hands were clean in this whole matter, but you brought up the security wall and I'm pointing out that it's construction was the direct result of the arab/palestinian aggression, and has been very successful in stopping it.

I can understand why Israel has a concrete wall to protect its borders, but why does Egypt also have a wall????

Yes, You started history with the palestinians already in the gaza. It didn't start there. They are mostly refugees from elsewhere in the Gaza.

There has been a wall on the Israel/Egypt border since around the time of the first war between the two countries.

it seems like maybe english isn't your first language

we're talking about the fricking wall you nimrod. if you want to go tit for tat on the whole history of the state of israel, we can, but you specifically brought up the security wall and now you seem to want to dismiss the fact that it was absolutely necessary and has been extremely effective at keeping the people of Israel safe from suicide bombers.

Why is it there now?

Why doesn't Egypt or the Palestinians tear it down?

You didn't answer his question. Why is there a wall between Gaza and Egypt?

I don't think they like Hamas either.
