My experience from decades of watching the Middle East is that all military parties are usually guilty of contributing to the slaughter, with very few exceptions. The innocents are trampled by zealots of all persuasions.


Such is the nature of modern warfare. Large numbers of collateral casualties are inevitable. The only sane thing to do is get used to it.

That would be true if health could be restored and maintained. But what if it can't?

Well, there's well-adjusted, and there's well-adjusted.
A person accepting that this may be the best of all possible worlds is a lot more sane than believing, for example, that life is actually fair and the world is a wonderful place.

No one is saying that life is fair - the real question: Is unfair fair? Well adjusted people often answer yes.

O that reminds me of 3 years ago:



Just replace Hizbullah with Hamas and Lebanon with Gaza and you get the same story.


Of course. You always get the same story when you hate Jews. You always know who's guilty in any conflict involving them.

When you hate a people involved in a conflict, the verdict is always easy, and even determinable before evidence is seen:
The people you hate are the guilty ones. So, I guess hate is like omniscience except for the accuracy level.


I do not hate Jews.




Really? Since most of your posts suggest that you do hate Jews, and very much so, perhaps you would like to set the record straight here and now as to how you feel about them? Not for my benefit, mind you, but for the gullible.


Ok bull, let's play this game: Just quote one single post of mine that shows hatred toward Jews. I challenge you. C'mon do your search.

Ragtime is it appropriate for this young Israel settler to brag about how the Jews killed Jesus?

In the eyes of the world, Israel can do no right. What really shocks me is how muslim arab states are more tolerant of the presence of christians in the middle east than jews. For instance, Saudi Arabia bars jews from entering the country, but they DO give work visa's to christians and hindu's.

It is debatable that the land that Israel is "defending' is actually Palestinian land that Israel took in excess of the UN mandate.

Non Jews also get visas and work permits in Israel. Fundie preachers, however, are not welcome. Israel in no way prohibits Christians staying their legally from going to church and worshiping. There are hundreds of churches in Israel. How many churches are there in Saudi Arabia?
