ReppintheD, I have never labled Arabs as any certain way in anything that I have posted. I keep talking about Muslim extremists.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>and PLEASE stop saying "they dont like our freedom, our way of life, our culture" bull sh*t - that isn't true - they actually love Western Culture. (at least the younger generations) - and for the older generation they def couldn't care less about American culture - they are happy with their own.</div>Like in this for example, I never said people in the Middle East don't like our culture, blah, blah, and blah. I did say extremists don't like it, which is basically true.As for Israel's attacks on Palestine, we are getting a one sided story from you here. Things like this happen all the time in Israel from Palestine and other countries. Israel is fighting for their life out there, there are enemies all around them. I can post articles, and I will (I am leaving right now), about attacks on Israel from Palestine and others where the same type of stuff happens.
I understand Israel also gets bombarded by rockets, but the damage done by Palestinian militants is unproportionate to the damage done by Israeli forces.

Eff Israel. I don't get why the US has to get involved in every little conflict in the world. Let these two countries settle their differences without the USA. The USA should stick to their own problems. That's one problem I have with our country, THey feel the need to be the Policemen of the world.
Israel is important to the US because the government feels it needs an ally in that region. personally I think the US should have blown the sh*t out of Israel a few times. Israel is the only country in the history of the United States to attack to the United States and get away with it. not only did they blow the sh*t out of one of our distoryers*, but we gave them weapons shortly afterwards.*sorry I put carrier instead of distoryerI think Israel was created unfairly and unjustly and some Middle-easterners have a legitimate beef with them. however, it has existed long enough where the younger generation of Palastinians really dont know what they're fighting for. they never lived when that land was theirs, its Isreals now. The people of the Middle east dont hate America for its culture, they hate America because we've over thrown their governments( 12 seperate countries I believe have had their government siwthc overtly or covertly by the US.) American Business has taken advantage of many of them. The US has made numerous promises to people and just abandoned them once our objective was done. A lot of the religious Muslims do have a problem with our culture, the Taliban is one example. they don't like the fact that our women are skantly clad and what they precieve as no morals.

This goes both ways - the young generation of Israelis also are not fighting for the original purpose of this conflict. - Although this is a little wrong because it is also a religious feud with the Aqsa Mosque (which is one of the most important Islamic mosques in the history of the religion - Jewish people believe that one of their important religuos buildings is buried under this mosque - as a result there have been countless attempts to destroy the mosque in order to see what is under the mosque - this is a huge reason, too)The people of the Middle east dont hate America for its culture, they hate America because we've over thrown their governments( 12 seperate countries I believe have had their government siwthc overtly or covertly by the US.)
