Maybe the parents should have relieved them of such brutality by leaving.

Better than shooting them, which is what would have happened if they'd been Palestinians.. :rolleyes:

An American impying that Iran isnt run by Islamic extremists.. Go Figure..

Where did you see that? l can find no such declaration, in fact, Syria was talking about an Israeli pull-out at this year's Arab Summit.

Here's an interesting read .. MEI Perspective.

I got taught that at school... when the Golan Heights were current affairs instead of History :P

I did say that they would only give up the claim if Israel went back to its pre-1967 borders in total... that wont happen; Syria knows it wont happen and so the claim is, rightfully, kept by Syria.

Bad writing on my part.

I'm saying that Israel leaving the Gaza strip won't appease Islamic extremists.

I even wonder if the whole West Bank and Golan Heights were evacuated would it appease them.

Once again I agree.

Further that the Europeans give the land back to the native Americans, Australians, Africans, New Zealanders and all of the rest they took it from.

In fact, let's everyone give the land back to it's indigenous population. At the same time removing all of the technology, investment and infrastructure we imposed on their way of life. It's the only reasonable way to go.

They are, arent they? (The Israeli's that is)

@ Busyman

Withdrawing from Gaza is great, however to do it at the same time as announcing more settlements in the West Bank as has been done, seems a little mental.

All the good that withdrawing from Gaza did, has been wiped out at a stroke..

Face it,

IMHO the Israeli government doesnt want peace with its neighbours.. that would entail the loss of all those American Dollars that keep the place going.

They will bow to pressure on one front and delibratly create problems to keep the staus quo on another.

Edited:
To add that it was IMHO, and not a fact..

I have no idea.

I don't know who the indigenous population of the region is / was.

They werent the Jewish people were they?

Didnt the Jews invade the people already there when they escaped from Egypt to "The Promised Land"?

*reminds everyone that RF isnt a Christian and hasnt read the short story collection that Christians/Jews all rave about...

Reminds everyone that RF is going thro' his bitter and twisted phase and that being Jewish, or Muslim, or Christian or anything else is a religious thing and has nothing to do with who the indigenous population is.

It is when you are talking in the context of who settled the place first, as the Jews are considered a race, as well as a religion, and they settled everywhere they ended up, they have no historical 'starting place'.
