You're right, and I was being flippant.
I do not believe the video to be objective, nor do I believe it fairly represents the sum of the history there.
I'm sure history will finally flesh out who was right, and who was wrong, but for now, I'm heading to the range. Y'all have a nice afternoon.
Oh - and you better look up anti-Semitic.
an·ti-Sem·ite (nt-smt, nt-)
n.
One who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews.
So you're saying that if he disagrees with the political leadership of Israel, He must be a racist? That sounds like what Eric Holder said the other day.My claim is based on your support for the Palestinian position in this thread (which is either the death, or subjugation under Palestinian rule of the Jews in Israel). What we're telling you is that Palestine has been deeded lands in the region. Palestine has always had the opportunity to be peaceful and prosperous. Palestinians have steadfastly rejected these opportunities in favor of blind hatred and violence towards the Jews in Israel. Hence they reap what they sow. I just re-read every post you've made in this thread. It's 100% Palestinians are the victims and 99% Israelis are the aggressor (you said they could "rightfully" secure their border on page 3).
You appear to be prejudiced in favor of the Palestinians against the Jews in Israel. If you care to clarify your position in order to refute the image you've portrayed to many of us who are willing to discuss the matter objectively, feel free. Otherwise, I stand by my statement.
Mk. The "They are religiously biased" part. We are taught, as Christians, to believe that the Jews are Gods chosen people. As a predominantly Christian Nation, we seem to want to protect what is Gods. Esp since Christians desended from one of Gods Sons.
Sometimes we are right to side with Israel, as in Jews have a right to exist. Other times we dont, as in Jew have a right to exist but not expand their borders.
We tend to side with them, even when we shouldnt. Imagine if NKoera decided to expand her border with South Korea. Think we would intervene? Or if Germany decided to expand her border to include the Sudaten land. We would intervene.
Well we didnt intervene the first time Israel expanded her border or the second time. They said it was for security. Then they settled the annexed land, creating a larger nation. They continue to expand and build on formerly annexed land.
And we continue to support them. Why? Because Christianity is founded on Judaism.
The "my fear" part is that we should support Israel but only to a certain point. We should not be 100% behind them but shouldnt totally abandon them either.

I for one am not religiously biased towards the Jews in Israel. I've made a value judgement based on my views of moral and more importantly, just behaviors. I've done extensive research on the region that dates back to antiquity. There have been times that I condemn the acts of the Israeli government, just as I have our own government. Wrong is wrong. I also don't believe we should fund Israel to the level we do (though I don't believe we should fund a LOT of other countries to the extent we do, particularly Islamic countries hostile to the U.S.).
However, my judgement of the Palestinian role in the conflict is that it's been mostly unjust. Unless the information I've found coming from allegedly impartial sources is completely untrue, there could've been peace in the middle-east decades ago, had the Palestinians simply acted in a peaceful and positive manner. I've come to the conclusion that they'd prefer to be martyrs rather than good and peaceful neighbors. They've taken the low road repeatedly and they've reaped what they've sown.
You're preaching to the choir , Mr. Holder.
