While meeting with Obama, Israel simultaneously approves more settlements in Jerusalem - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;20945468]You people are so damn insensitive. The Jews had been persecuted and attacked for thousands of years, and almost had their entire race wiped out in WWII.

[QUOTE=Regulas021;20947641]When did the United States annex new land?[/QUOTE] Texas. They also took over Guam and the Phillipenes

[QUOTE=neos300;20947837]Texas. They also took over Guam and the Phillipenes[/QUOTE] Yes, and that was 140 years ago (or, in the case of the Phillipenes, during World War 2, given high degrees of autonomy and later granted independence) I meant in any way remotely comparable to Israel.

[QUOTE=TH89;20943835]We need Israel. Also, you can't really remove an entire country of people.[/QUOTE] I think we did a good job removing Afghanistan.

[QUOTE=neos300;20947837]Texas. They also took over Guam and the Phillipenes[/QUOTE] Um, no. Also Israel is just pushing it.

[QUOTE=Swim;20947908]I think we did a good job removing Afghanistan.[/QUOTE] What.

Netanyahu will be known as the guy who fucked things up for Israel in 30 years.

Dudes. America will never nuke Israel, its their best ally, apart from the UK. Maybe. [QUOTE=Jund;20953626]They feel like they're entitled to something. Where I live, black people do it all the time.

Instead Israel keep praying for peace and then they realize that we've suffered for long enough and of course we're going to be pissed.

If they want somewhere to call home, why not a place that the people would agree with? There was rioting against Jewish settlement as early as 1920. And they got it violently. And what they do to us is bad - my father got arrested for holding up a Palestinian flag in the West Bank about two decades ago.

You do realize that they didn't have much of a choice, right? They either got Israel or they just got to sit around. Also, they wanted Israel because that is the land that we feel entitled to because god gave it to us in the torah

Torah also said kill people who eat shellfish get to work

[QUOTE=mr-kaki;20944507]Plus there are some genuine people who hate Israel aswell, yet live in Israel themselves. [sp]me[/sp] And the arabs will get killed as well if we nuke it. Basically, Israel is a shithole and nobody can do a lot about it.[/QUOTE] Israel is a beautiful country.. [img]http://psp.88000.org/wallpapers/54/Red_Sea_at_Night%2C_Eilat%2C_Israel.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Warhol;20959163]Torah also said kill people who eat shellfish get to work[/QUOTE] No, it said that orthodox jews can't eat shellfish.

I'm not seeing anything in there about orthodox jews

Wow, we have so many Israel threads. Why can't we have a single Israel / Palestine thread like we did last time?

so many people in this thread are retarded when it comes to international politics. I think I somehow remember the other Israel threads having a better discussion about Israel and also having somewhat of a sense of humor, then again a lot of the people making stupid replies have 07 and 08 join dates so... anyways Israel is just going to keep on pushing into Palestinian land.

Bananas in Pajamas, old memories ruined I'm surprised that Israel keeps pushing their luck, seeing as how they are a stones toss away from so many countries that hate them.

The current issue is that Israel is gradually, and has been for decades, taking away Palestinian territory.

And nobody wants to step in and do anything to break ties.

I don't see why we [I]need[/I] Israel. Fuck the US has better relations with the middle east then they do.

[QUOTE=goon165;20963554]I don't see why we [I]need[/I] Israel.

And they have a very strong hate for Jews. It is all the religious holy war stuff that causes a lot of tension.

Just a basic boiled down serious question here... Why can't Israel build settlements in their own country? Palestine does not even exist, and the damn Philistines attack Israel once every other week... why should they give a rats ass about their demands and wishes? Israel truthfully puts up with way too much shit, and don't give me that "oh the Palestinians are just retaliating blah blah..." because that's bullshit. "Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel]." - Qur'an

Dude, Israel has been the Jewish promised land for thousands of years, Palestinian refugees are just trying to live there, they shouldn't be owed any piece of land.
