Thousands of years to understand human nature and adapt and we just can't stop killing each other.

And when you look into the reasons this keeps happening it is so ridiculous it's hard to imagine wanting to kill over the differences.

Not if it has an economic reasoning. This is just modern day colonization.

They have been shooting at each other the last couple weeks. Israel is just fed up with it.

I would say as far as 'media bias' in America goes, it's probably our most egregious issue in that regard.
I feel for and understand both sides, but both sides have done so much to negate that initial logical assumption.
It's more or less 'which terrorist state do you dislike the least?'
I've always been torn about what Palestine should do...years ago, I argued that they should just take a Gandhi stance and see if the world ended up backing them. But another part of me thinks they would've just been exterminated, anyway.
Then again, with today's social media, it may have been a viable option.
When you lock a man in a cage, he's eventually going to go crazy, thus giving the people who put him there the ability to say 'See? He needs to be caged.'

I don't suppose the hundreds of rockets fired into Israel in the past few weeks by Hamas has anything to do with it.

1300 or so. But no, that shouldn't have anything to do with it. You should be allowed to launch mortars and rockets anytime you feel.
Hey, things will never work out there. Israel is surrounded by countries that don't like them and will funnel money to terrorist groups that attack them. It was true, it is true, and it will continue to be true.

Thought the Bible said to turn the other cheek? Of course God also got mad at Saul and had him killed when he refused to kill every last person of what would become Islam later so go figure...
I always found it interesting that God the Father is such a warmonger while Jesus is such a Buddha/Dali-lama pacifist...but they are supposedly the same person?...
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

Hamas' target is the Palestinians. They are goading Israel into being their weapon. Martyrdom-by-proxy of the Palestinians serves their (Hamas') interests very well.

I have a question......If Mexico started firing rockets across our borders, how long do you think it would be, before we leveled them? I think Israel has needed to do this for a long time.

Has anybody bothered to wonder WHY would Palestinians be firing rockets at Israel? They're crazy, but nobody does that for no reason at all.

Yes, I forgot all about the Israeli refugees being forced from their home into camps, because Palestine destroyed their homes and built malls on the rubble.

I was referring to the post I made above him. Specifically the first sentence.
American media portrays Israel as a country minding it's own business, having to deal with ruthless, violent acts from the Palestinians. And a lot of people buy it.
As I said in that same post...neither side looks good in this. I feel for the Palestinians in regards to what Israel has done to them. But they're not exactly doing a great job of pleading their case.

The Israelis gave them land for peace. There was no peace. It became a staging ground for rocket attacks. The Israelis allowed them to self govern, the Palestinians elect Hamas. Hamas' charter states they will not rest until all the Jews are dead, in so many words. And don't forget what the Israelis have said lately, "Israel uses rockets to protect their people. Hamas uses people to protect their rockets." I am fairly sure if Hamas decided to live in peace, the Israelis would leave them alone. You haven't seen an real problems with Egypt since they declared peace with Israel. The Israelis gave all of Egypt's land back too.

So, it's a contest to see which side can be more stupid, then?
Let them wipe each other out... we just need to back out of there completely. Cut off aid to Israel, let them fight it out.

Ah......Pretty sure that all that land belongs to Israel. God promised that land to them, so all they want is what's theirs. If your Father gave you some land and a house, but when you got there, there was a bunch of people living in your house and in tents on your land, would you give it to them or would you want to take it back and live there yourself?

J/C
Main argument about all of this is Israel, due to texts in the Old Testament, believes they deserve the land. If they believed they wouldn't be forcing the hand of their god. Yes, this dates all the way back to when the land was up for grabs after WWII.
Both sides are at fault. Just stop bulldozing homes, bombing the other side in retaliation and just find ways to be friends. Isn't that what the heart of both religious beliefs hold near and dear?
