Thread Name: BS: Israel Moves in.
Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Well how many of us are allowed to remain living in the land of our ancestors? My own people were kicked off their land and forced to be refugees to a foreign shore 175 years ago. I don't dedicate my life to killing descendants of those who did the deed. The big problem as I see it is that neighbouring countries refuse to absorb these poor souls. To leave people in refugee camps for 60 years is a crime in its own right. Isreal will continue to exist, but it should be within its pre 1967 territory. The west bank and Gaza Strip could be aided internationally and perhaps would be if the people accepted peace. The neighbouring countries could absorb any overflow into a culture similar to their own. Every damn bannana republic in the middle east is using these people as pawns! Without education other than poisoning the minds of the people the religious leaders are grinding their own ax also. As long as people call for revenge,and revenge again, another eye for another eye, this can never end. The priority is to make it end; not right every wrong committed by both sides over thousands of years!
