Israel isn't the only country without pogroms. There's no need to create a new country to avoid them.

If it was a country like the Vatican, I wouldn't be complaining.

Oh, and patriotism isn't a good idea.

The situations are not analagous. There weren't that many Slovaks living in Czech areas, and vice versa.

Do the Cherokees have their own country? Do the Tatars? Do the Kashubians? They are all nationalities. Does every nationality need a country?

Of course, if you wouldn't like it, you would have every right to move to a different country. You shouldn't, however, displace a people in that quest.

Okay. Take a deep breath. Say to yourself, "This is just an argument on the Internet. What impact does this have on world affairs?" Calm down.

ok calm down antipaladin. not that i dont agree with you
ok apart from the fact were both getting off-topic personal and even slightly racist the fact remains isreal exists here and now and has people who are willing to fight to the death for it. (but would of course rather not die). besides that everyone needs allies.just think of the subtler parts of you leaving . if you withdrawed isreal in turn might not care very much about giving china weapons.
id say shut your mouth about isreal being a mistake. i may be biased for it but that doesnt mean you could be more tactful then just saying none of us should live in our holy land

Thank you for that statement. It's nice to come back to reality from hypotheticals. But, remember, I said that the US should only get out of the Middle East if a viable alternative to oil is found. That's not the case today, though.

Quote:

China doesn't need to be given weapons; it can make them itself. Still, you pointed out something valid: the US does indeed need allies. However, it doesn't need enemies. If it can make all of the Middle Eastern countries stop being its enemy, that's worth losing one ally.

What's so special about your holy land. What if my holy land was your house? Does that mean that I deserve to have it?

id say its special because millions of people want to live there and its written in our bible that the isrealites live there.
does that mean every jew lives there? no
does it mean that a lot do want to and theres quite a valid reason why they do? yes
i believe christians read the old testament sometimes too. its not proof but its a better reason then most have for us living there.

Actually Israel is holy land for Jews, Muslims and Crhistians.

Israel was there a few thousand years ago but it got conquered atleast twice. Well third time is the charm.

And we can't ignore the fact that most of the christians and jews living in Africa and Middle East voluntarily converted to Islam when under its reign.

Since when did 85% of world population start hating you?????

1) About Celtic history. You honestly believe that a part of Briton Celts weren't expelled to Scotland and other areas? What, Anglo Saxons came and were like "Right, chaps, have some tea, and merge with our people." Wtf. Anglo Saxons violently pushed back the native Briton Celts who resisted them. The majority, however, was either butchered or assimilated, but you cannot say that none of them were displaced.

2)Tell me, MVas, thou who hast such great knowledge in history, how did the Palestinians come to Israel in the first place?
They took it.
It all goes way back, and it's a circle. You can't say something is a good or bad idea, since, well, even if you were right it would be irrelevant. What's important is today.

You're more or less right about this: those who are stronger take the land. History teaches us so. There isn't justice about that one. There are no good guys here.
Same case with my people and Albanians. Genocides, banishments, terrorism - all for a ****ing piece of land. Nothing can justify that. But that's the way people are.

Remember the song Civil War by Guns&Roses.
You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands,
when everybody's fighting for their promised land...


I personally don't understand why both people can't live on the same soil, but they obviously simply can't. It's oh so important as to how the thing will look on the map, and what flag will be around, and what ridiculous anthem will be heard if they win some sports competition.

Anyway, like I said, we're not here to judge, but to die. And, well, we're doing great.

Not really. I haven't seen any antisemetism here in America.

We had no legal right to the land, but it would be wrong to displace Americans to give the land back to the Indians. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I agree. I'm not saying Israel should be destroyed. I'm saying that Israel shouldn't have been created.

You're not talking about the KKK, are you? It's not like you see in the movies; it's actually not that strong. And Jews are far safer in the US than they are in Israel. No Lebanese bombs in America.

Overlooked?

With all this talk about history and who owns what land and where, it seems to me that everyone has completely disregarded the most significant reason why today's global international borders are not likely to change. With the entrance of the atomic age all countries have now been reinforced in their sovereignty. With each new country that gets its first nuclear weapons, the world becomes more and more solidified in each their own respective national border lines.

What I'm trying to say is that no country in today's world can change its borders, for expansion, without the possibility of nuclear retribution. No one wants that. And anyone who shows a propensity to use nuclear weapons runs the very real risk of becoming enemy to all nations of the world. For example, 'If you use them on your neighbors then you might use them on us when you get intercontinental ballistic capabilities or the mobility of a nuclear submarine'.

Israel, Palestinians, Iraq, Pakistan, India, North Korea, China, or any other nation....history has changed and now all future expansionist objectives have changed. Israelis and Palestinians are no different. They are not somehow immune to how the world has changed. If Israelis expand they will face nuclear retribution(as Iran has threatened). If Palestinians expand they too will face nuclear retribution from some other country (not U.S.A.) while being largely supported by American fanatics who believe Israel belongs to the Jews.

The world has changed. The nuclear age cannot and will not be turned back.

What you said is an important consideration, but you have to remember a few things:
1. Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons.
2. Nuclear weapons are a last resort.
3. Not everyone has nuclear weapons.

And, techically, they shouldn't even be called weapons. A more accurate term would be "nuclear deterrent". Having nukes is more of a defensive measure than an offensive one.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I thought that was how we function, MVas. Your social contract, remember? You said how it's perfectly reasonable for someone to break it if they don't have to face the consequences...
But it's different in the case where your butt is at stake, isn't it?

Quote:
If Palestinians expand they too will face nuclear retribution from some other country (not U.S.A.)

Then which one? France? Switzerland? Jamaica?
Come on. There was no nuclear retribution when USA attacked Yugoslavia in 1999, or in the Korean war, or in this recent war between Israel and Lebanon... Not to mention African conflicts.
Nuclear retribution can only happen by countries which actually have nukes. No country will launch nukes in support of another one. Speaking of two wrongs that don't make a right.

What's most important today is demagogy. It's not important what you're armed with, or what you are going to do; it's important what people think you're armed with and what you would do.
That's some sort of international foreplay (which alludes war is like sex, right? People are sperm, war goals are the egg cell, and nuclear weapons - AIDS. A moment of fun and an eternity of regrets... )

But they would face the consequences. Remember, one day Britain displaces the Palestinians, the next day it displaces you. If we start moving people around like on a chess board, we can't expect it to be without consequences.

And if I can save my butt, I will do everything in my power to do so.
