Can someone please tell me why America always seems to be protecting Israel? Is it because thats where Jesus was supposedly born??

Speaking from pure experience growing up in this country, but Jews seemed to be the strongest religious minority in this country. I’ve lived in many states in many years, and always at least one (if not more) of my good friends were always Jewish. I think, maybe, that they simply blend in well with American society as a whole. Not to mention their historical significance in the development of this country from its conception.

Israel is a democracy and is under attack by the same terrorists that want to destroy the US. Isn’t it obvious why the US is giving Israel support?

Less than 100 million Jews worldwide.

More than 1 billion Muslims worldwide.

Shouldn’t we at least try to be friends with 1 billion people than pick a fight with them?

This is to all the Muslims who think that they are the most deprived sect of the world:

People all over the world want to live in peace and harmony with each other. But you guys constantly prick one or the other and unnecessarily crib all the time. May be its to gain attention. There are millions of Muslims who are peace loving and have good relations with other communities.

My suggestion is, stop crying that you are deprived because you are not. Everyone is ready to give you the equal opportunities till the time you keep your mind on track. But when you try to impose your rigid rules on rest, it becomes unreasonable hence intolerable. So, to get respect, start behaving like a sane human being.

@ Michael

Collective contribution? They are contributing collectively in the miseries of Palestinian people (particularly the children and women).

I don’t think there should be tax exempt status for any group. It is too easy to exploit the charity label.

To Nahum:

I beg to differ. You Palestinian Arabs could have had a state more than once, but refused each time: in 1937, the Peel Commission offered 80% of the Mandate for a Palestinian Arab state and 20% for the Palestinian Jews, yet it was the Arabs who refused. In 1947, the UN voted on a partition plan, and again it was the Palestinian Arabs (and the entire Arab world) that refused. Again in 2000, at Camp David, Arafat was offered the West Bank & Gaza, yet he refused, walked out and initiated the second intifada without even making a counter-offer.

I’d say that the Palestinian Arabs have had a hand in making their own misery, too.

By the way, do you feel that the Hamas aim of a Palestinian state from the river to the sea is the only answer? If you do, then I’m afraid we might have nothing to negotiate over at all.

I hope that whoever deleted my previous post doesn’t delete this one, as well.
