[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2586297, member: 4235"] Yeah, I was definitely thinking of them too when I typed my last. You mean is it just because I don't like Jews? Hey, I'll have you know I was totally against the Roman occupation back in 63 B.C.! I will always take the side of the resistance over the occupiers, secessionists over unionists, and those who desire not to be ruled over those who desire to rule over others. Who did the inhabitants of Jordan displace and seize land from? Yes, this land has been fought over since time immemorial, but the Arab Palestinian refugees and their ancestors have a much stronger claim to it than European Jews. When your best claim to a country is that some of your distant ancestors lived in the region in ancient times, it doesn't hold much water with me. For them to just move in, set up shop, and boot the current occupants out as if nothing had happened in the past two millennia just outrages my basic sense of justice. The main peace I'm hoping for is that Sunnis and Shi'ites get over their little rivalry and unite against their true enemy. They could wipe Israel off the map if they would quit being such prima donnas over whether or not there's a Mahdi or whatever it is they argue about. Join forces to get rid of history's little redheaded stepchild nation once and for all, and that region could go back to being relatively peaceful and culturally homogenous... or as peaceful as Arabs can be with each other anyway. I may have my favorite, but really I would just like for them to hurry up and get it over with, and have one side completely wipe the other out. I am tired of hearing about this BS. [/QUOTE]
