The Israeli Muslims have more freedom and ability to make a living than those who are not Hamas do in the Gaza strip.
It is not safe to be openly Christian in Iran but I do not see you condeming Iran.
Eki: In my opinion you are anti Jew and anti US.
Did you condem the recent slaughter of British soldiers in Ireland by extremists?
If it had been Israeli or US soldiers killing someone you would have been the first to post.
You certainly appear to have two standards.
I agree with all the above, without reservation! But answer me this.Quote:

You may be able to count them on one hand! :dozey:
Taz: You are likely quite right.
Now how many Palestinians have emmigrated to Europe, Canada and the US?
I know we have pretty high numbers.
We also have a fair number of Israelis who have emingrated to Canada, although not nearly as many.
When the brown stuff hit the fan in Lebanon a while ago it turned out there were over 10,000 Cdn. passport holders there. We spent untold $ getting them out, even chartering ships. It settled down and most went back. Very handy to have Cdn. citizenship when trouble hits.
Also shows how stupid our immigration laws are.
Only according to the Old Testament :crazy:Quote:

In the caves of Shuqba in Ramallah and Wadi Khareitun in Bethlehem, stone, wood and animal bone tools were found and attributed to the Natufian culture (c. 12800–10300 BCE). Other remains from this era have been found at Tel Abu Hureura, Ein Mallaha, Beidha and Jericho.[36][41]
Between 10000 and 5000 BCE, agricultural communities were established. Evidence of such settlements were found at Tell es-Sultan, Jericho and include mud-brick rounded and square dwellings, pottery shards, and fragments of woven fabrics"

I disagree. The Jewish (Israeli) religion is from one semetic tribe that took up the religion of Judaism. The Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrian & Jordian countries and people are all made up of semetic tribes. The others became, or were muslim and some later were christian. The Roman Catholic and Greek Orthadox churches grew out of Judaism although they were not of the semetic tribes.
Confusing, yes but the jewish people were basically always there.
They are as much a semetic tribe as the palestinians.
I do not agree with Israels' treatment of the palestinian population but I believe, maybe optimistically, that if real peace came about the Israelis would gradually ease and eventually do away with restrictions.
I do not think I will live long enough to see that.
I'm not sure how relavent the Muslim, Jewish question is.
Considering the fact that they both follow the old testament, in terms of it's "superstition"
My point is that neither have a more legitamate claim on the land when it comes down to who was there first!
On that I concur.
I was getting worried there. You and I hardly ever are on opposite sides. :)
time for the jobnicks to speak out........ :/
