    What does the size of their country have to do with anything? They are not poor financially, nor are the poor militarily. They have better equipment, better trained troops and 'nukes' which most any of their 'enemies' do not have.

    ^ http://www.masada2000.org/geography.html


    "Unlike Islam's Koran, which commands Muslims to force the entire planet to submit to literal control by Islam, the Jewish Torah promises the children of Israel a modest and reasonable allotment of land. Israel in RED , is a democratic nation 1/19th the size of California, surrounded by 22 hostile Arab/Islamic dictatorships with 640 times her size, 60 times her population"

    Population does not mean anything. They are not a poor country, they have military equipment that is above and beyond their neighbors.

    Even if we followed this logic, the same logic applies. We get rid of support to Israels neighbors as well, it equals the playing field.

    In the end Israel would be more powerful not less powerful if we stopped supporting those who would harm them if they had the chance.

    ---
    You also think countries such as Turkey would actually want to attack Israel? They are a hostile dictatorship?

    Typical Muslim response to a post that mentions Jews...

    I'm neither Jewish nor Muslim... Without any previous bias, it is pretty easy to see the reality..

    Step back and start looking from the outside in instead... You'd be surprised just how wrong you are.

    I didn't know anything about al this before 911 happened, and it changed my entire worldview.

    The difference between you and me, is that you look only at terrorism, but I can see the underlying reasons for this terrorism.

    Why don't you look at it from a neutral viewpoint? Why should Palestinians suffer for what Nazis have done? Why should they be deprived of their lives, their country, their livelihood, because God promised some land to Jews?

    I hope Israel becomes a real democracy. I pray for it everyday...

    As did mine.
    There is no justification for terrorism. PERIOD.

    They are not deprived of anything.. They are given money, and they piss it away on weapons and murder. They are given land and they turn it into a wasteland.


    They have the same democratic government as Canada and Australia to name a few. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_democracy

    You're sitting comfortably in your home, writing all that. You certainy won't know what sort of lives Palestinians are forced to live


    Suppose a man comes to your home asking for shelter. You let him in. Now, this man occupies your house, and throws you out.You go to a court, and the judge orders you to vacate your house for the poor man who does not have a house, what'd you do? Will you accept judge's decision?

    [SIZE=-1]It began when Harry Truman was in the White House. It has continued under every U.S. President since, and in this extended report we lay out the consequences of 60 years of brutal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.[/SIZE]

    I wasn't aware Canada and Australia were apartheid regimes.


    How do you have peace? Very simple, it is called EQUALITY AND MUTUAL RESPECT.
    [SIZE=-1]- The historic land of Palestine belongs to all who live in it and to those who were expelled or exiled from it since 1948, regardless of religion, ethnicity, national origin or current citizenship status;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- Any system of government must be founded on the principle of equality in civil, political, social and cultural rights for all citizens. Power must be exercised with rigorous impartiality on behalf of all people in the diversity of their identities;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- There must be just redress for the devastating effects of decades of Zionist colonization in the pre- and post-state period, including the abrogation of all laws, and ending all policies, practices and systems of military and civil control that oppress and discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, religion or national origin;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- The recognition of the diverse character of the society, encompassing distinct religious, linguistic and cultural traditions, and national experiences;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- The creation of a non-sectarian state that does not privilege the rights of one ethnic or religious group over another and that respects the separation of state from all organized religion;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- The implementation of the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees in accordance with UN Resolution 194 is a fundamental requirement for justice, and a benchmark of the respect for equality.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- The creation of a transparent and nondiscriminatory immigration policy;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- The recognition of the historic connections between the diverse communities inside the new, democratic state and their respective fellow communities outside;[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]- In articulating the specific contours of such a solution, those who have been historically excluded from decision-making -- especially the Palestinian Diaspora and its refugees, and
    Palestinians inside Israel -- must play a central role;[/SIZE]


    [SIZE=-1]- The establishment of legal and institutional frameworks for justice and reconciliation.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=-1]This is the One State Declaration. Agreement to this declaration would mean Israel is democratic. otherwise, it is nothing better than the "democratic" apartheid regime of South Africa.[/SIZE]

    I live in the US..
    Question how many Huck supporters actually know something about current affairs that is truthful?

    From my experience here it's not very many. They think they know, but in reality they seriously do not.. Taking no name blogs, unbacked accusations as facts and bashing RP people for being misleading :rolleyes:

    I think Israel's recent bombing of a possible weapons plant in a neighbor country proves that the Israelis do not feel they have a tactical disadvantage, nor are they intimidated by the region.

    They acted WITHOUT White House approval.

    uhuh, Huck supporters not knowing current events or actual facts is the same hey? The same as a few supporters of RP who are excited for once about a candidate that they actually stay informed themselves and try to keep others updated.

    Didn't know that was the 'same'

    Ron Paul for 2008. Make sure to donate to his campaign if you support him. I've donated already, and purchased a few yard signs =). I'm a Libertarian, so it's obvious that he would get my vote. I'm an avid supporter of Ron paul though, we don't share the same stance on abortion, he's still the best candidate by far.

    good man. as a libertarian you do know that his stance on abortion does not even matter right?

    i hope you realize this because so-called avid supporters like tucker carlson somehow don't understand that..

    It proves just how hard Israel has to work to stave off attacks.
    Since when does Israel need US approval to protect herself?
