    John Carson wrote: What have you been smoking? Too early in the morning. John Carson wrote: Declaring a nation won't get rid of the Israelis. No, they're not going anywhere. After being hounded by the rest of humanity for 2,000 years they intent to both survive and succeed. That isn't the point I attempted to make and apparently not clear enough. If the Palestinians had the cojones to declare a nation, 95% of the UN member nations would recognize them as a nation. Then they would, as I said earlier, be drowned in aid and opportunity. Again, the only thing I see holding them back is the fact they would then be forced to succeed as a nation and couldn't whine that, :the Israelis won't let us have our own country". Both would have to negotiate and neither could turn down UN/EU/US/Russian monitors o guarantee some degree of real peace. The real fact is the Palestinians DO NOT WANT A NATION, they want the death of Israeli. Screw'em I say. Mike

Just one would be enough, and then you may actually be able to gain an understanding for the basis of their religion that did not come from CNN. :| Go on a visit to your local Mosque - they will be more than happy to welcome you in and answer all the questions you may have. I didn't want to have to say this because I find it astonishing it even needs mentioning, but doing something in the name of a religion and doing something as disposed through a religion are not the same thing. I should not need to remind anyone that every atrocity and every war ever fought has been done in the name of one religion or ideal or another by people with strength of belief on par with those in the limelight today. That's what religion does: it allows individuals to justify decisions through their own interpretations of its teachings (just look at the bigger groups in Christianity) - but the decisions are up to them to make. Stan Shannon wrote: My first thought would be: "Geez, if you people are so nice why don't you go back to your own contries and take care of those murderous bastards that are killing in the name of your religion." That I think is probably where we are disagreeing from - you seem to be coming from an 'us' and 'them' standpoint, rather than merely an 'us'. That is a major hurdle in this country with immigrants trying to settle here; and that leads to deeper puddles of shit than merely going round murdering children. :(

        People are murdered, children too if you like emotive language... should we tackle the effects or the cause? Suspicion, a lack of trust, destroys far more lives than bullets and bombs.

Such an issue would be settled in the general assembly of the UN, not the security council. I have no doubt that membership to the UN would be granted to the new state of Palestine. Israel and the US's choice to not recognize that state would have no bearing on the matter. But I believe that Israel and the US would recognize such a state because to not do so would look quite bad - seeing as that is what we have been trying to accomplish for decades. The only ones who don't want a Palestinian state that recognizes Israel's right to exist are Iran, Syria, Libya, Egypt and a minority of the Palestinians who are terrorists.

And both side would be under world pressure to negotiate. Mike

I know there are people in the south of the US who just loves dragging colored people behind their trucks. Am I to believe that all white people in the US loves doing this? Have you ever talked to a palestinian? Most of them just wants to go about their own business, just like you do every day. But they can't! And some of these people resort to extreme violence. If the US was equivalent to Palestinia, and Canadia was Israel, I'm sure terrorist cells would pop up everywhere in the US.

Israel should leave the occupied territories, remove all settlements and finish that fence. THey should help push for Palestinian statehood so that when the next terrorist blows up an Israeli day-care center they can declare war on Palestine and finish it once and for all.

A physcological gambit that I believe works for the Palestinians, as long as they stop the terror. It then all comes down to negotiations that would be monitored by the rest of the world. At that point warriors no longer have a role, Arafat and Sharon and similar types are marginalized and it is a diplomatic game from then on. Mike

The Palestinians, leadership at lest, have no desire to do anything except wipe out Israel. As long as that is true, Israel has my support, the support of the US government and I would guess a majority of Americans. Frankly, I would applaud the most drastic action possible on the part of Israelis from today on. My statement, "sub-humans" was not chosen lightly. Mike

                                  Catholics used to believe that. That the priesthood was chosen, etc. Islamic mullahs are descended from Mohammed and they choose their successors - passing on the infallible will of Allah.

                                    I don't buy into any of that BS. All of this violence is coming out of their culture. Period. *They* should be doing something about it. If they want me to know something about their religion - let them walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Until then, they can stick their goddamned Koran up their flaming asses where it belongs.

                                      I don't buy into any of that BS. All of this violence is coming out of their culture. Period. *They* should be doing something about it. If they want me to know something about their religion - let them walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Until then, they can stick their goddamned Koran up their flaming asses where it belongs.

                                      Here's an interesting thought - if the majority of the world follows Islam, surely the ideal of democracy which you hold so tight to your heart dictates that you should submit to their ideals and not the reverse? I don't care about Palestine or Israel in this context, we are talking about the religion of Islam as a whole now. There is not much more I can say to you Stan, your mind is very clearly already set regardless of what *anyone* may say to you, and you have stated that you care not to educate yourself on these issues. All I can tell you is that I *personally* spoke with the Imam of my local Mosque about the ideals of Islam and what it stands for where the two main followings are concerned, and he took great care (and pride, if that means anything to you) to ensure that I understood. He even invited me to kneel in front of Mecca, something which had great significance to him. This may have been a few months before the whole of Islam was once again dragged through our Western mud with the events of September 2001 and thereafter, but the views of the vocal minority like yourself had not had any effect on those ideals when he was interviewed by the local media after some racist shit threw severed pig heads though their Mosque windows not twelve months later. Yes, I freely admit to having taken that attack personally, even though I do not submit to the beliefs of any religion, because having experienced that hospitality from a community of total strangers that I have yet to see mirrored elsewhere I find it utterly abhorable that anybody could stand to slander their name; their culture; their beliefs, yet hold no wish to understand them. And here's the clincher Stan - that anybody is Usama Bin Laden, that anybody is the latest Islamic Jihad bomber, that anybody is the racist shit who committed a human-rights violation when he vandalised that Mosque, and, Stan, that anybody is you. You ought to move to Britain - the BNP[^] are growing really short of people with views as strong as yours. :|

The West Bank and Gaza Strip are under Israeli occupation and Palestinian territory is progressively being taken away from the Palestinians by Israeli settlers, backed by the Israeli military. Declaring a nation won't get rid of the Israelis. It wouldn't make a jot of difference. John Carson

                                          Reading the responses to your post it is absolutely incredible how many westerners just cannot bring themselves to blame the Islamic world for the violence going on in the middle east. It seems to all be about moral equivalency: "Everyone's to blame, so no one's to blame" Personally, I don't care if Israel is destroyed. They never should have been there in the first place, and I don't blame the Palestinians for being angry about the situation. But all of that is beside the point. The point is that Islam is a culture of voilence, hatred and intolerance, and becomeing increasingly more so. The reason has nothing at all to do with anything we have ever done to them. That is simply the way their culture is, always has been, and always will be. We in the west have got to get it through our heads that when it comes to Islam we have two choices - submit to it or destroy it.
