EDIT : But I do agree your overall point. The World's history is full of this type of thing. With us probably being the worst, certainly in modern times.
What did the Romans ever do for us.
No, no, no....Indians migrated to America and you took then we took.....and
"We brought 3 friends and they brought 3 friends and so on and so on and so on."
So you are giving it back to us, then we give it back to them.
It's so much simpler in Africa and Australia, where the people who stole the land can just give it straight back.
Feck that was us as well.

You can be three friends, all on your own.

OK, so let's not do what's right, let's ignore UN resolutions, let's thumb our noses to the world, after all, what's a few thousand more lives? Let's keep going until Muslims run out of suicide bombers, or the world's cities run out of buses. Let's encourage terrorism by handing the spoils to the aggressors. Fuck the towel heads let them eat cake, and live in those parts of the desert the Israelis don't want. If they don't want what's best for Israel, fuck 'em. So what if the land we stole belonged to their fathers, what right do the children have to expect it?
If you steal my house, it's still my house, no matter how long you live in it, and if l die before l get it back, my sons will own it.
Are you Israeli SnnY? You sure sound like one.
So the fact that the people you want to take away land from didn't steal it doesn't matter.
Let's steal their land, 'cos it was stolen from someone else in the past.
Yeah, that's much better.
You don't really care about some people, do you?
Just as long as the ones you think should own the place does, the fact that you screw the lives up for a lot people today doesn't matter. It is negated by the fact that others got the same treatment in the past, then?
It seems to me that some people are better than others in your thinking.
Do you have something in particular against Israelis at all?

Well said SnnY
and @ RioDeLeo I can vouch SnnY is not Israeli, so can others. If he were, why do you make it sound like a disease ? :dry:
