Israel must be forced back into the 1948 borders. Nothing else has any legitimacy.

I agree. During Operation Cast Lead in 2008-09 Israel killed 1,400 Gazans. More than 80% were civilians. Over 300 were children.

Palestinians are stupid. If a genetically superior bloodline needs Lebensraum, you get out of their way. The sailors of the U.S.S. Liberty who were monitoring Irgun death squads can tell you that.

For the "Who was there first" crowd, in the Torah the god Yahweh demands that Israelites invade neighbors and murder them. In exchange for the fresh blood, the Israelites get their neighbors’ stuff.

Consequently, it doesn’t matter who lived on the land first. When God says kill, you obey.
Where say that exactly

It's not ridiculous.  They always light up Gaza a few months before an election.  Look at history.

Both sides want to fight.  Civilians on both sides pay the price though the civilians in Israel pay a far lower price per populous.

I was talking with my mom when I saw the news on TV couple of days ago.

Me: "Hey mom, is it me or since I've been born, these countries have always been at war?"
My mom: "Don't worry, it was the same thing when I was born too."

That's when I understood that this conflict is completely ridiculous. Two bunch of idiots with missiles looking for reasons to use them.

If Romney won they likely would have. With Obama winning they pry have a figurative coin flip of a chance for us to aid them and die in whatever wars they deem fit for us.

I'll still be forced to indirectly aid them, yes I won't be fighting. This wasn't like an official statement I was making to the press, I've never had a off-hand forum post torn apart this much lol.

Let me reword so I don't offend others delicate sensibilities:

lol... don't stress overmuch. I just like to prod people I see expressing individualist views with collectivist language.

Quote from: Margaret Thatcher
Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become... habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny! What we think we become.

[theory] If I were Israel and were planning a spring offensive against Iran, then I would start by tamping down Hamas and it's ability to get involved locally. Then I could concentrate on Iran.  [/theory]

If I were Israel, and wanted to give Iran a bloody nose, I'd ask my big friend the US to go bully them around.

Us? You got a mouse in your pocket?

I was born, grew up, and currently live in the U.S., hence "us" as a pronoun. I sometimes forget to speak in the 3rd-person when on internationally-used sites.
As was I, but I don't have any intention of aiding Israel, nor dying in a war. Nor do I buy into the collective mindset.

Now, if you happen to be an active-duty member of the US armed forces, and may actually be requested to go aid Israel and/or die in a war, then I can see the use of "us" as the group pronoun. Otherwise, the correct pronoun is "they."

If you want to kill each other for stupid reasons fine, but don't go dragging people who have nothing to do with it into your problems and be a selfish cunt about it.

Hear, Hear!

I say we lock Khaled Meshal and Benjamin Netanyahu in a room until either they kill each other or decide to make nice.
