What a rational argument!

If they were to prefer it that way they'd move to one of our neighboring countries (about a 2 hours drive from most arab population centers) and join their brothers of similar national background. There they can enjoy governments which are totally undemocratic and the economies are as difunctional as they get (although they have vast resources at their disposal - we only have people).
They choose to stay in this 'undemocraic' country where their population is given a fair representation in paliament and also given retirement benefits if it chooses to spy and help Hizbuallah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azmi_Bishara

I am suddenly reminded of that caricature with the muslim hacking of the westerner's head...

This conversation has gotten so boring but speaking of scriptures and the Prophet, did you know he signed a marrriage contract to marry a six year old girl and then married/bedded her when she was nine years old?

Aisha was her name
of course some try to claim she was much much older, like 10 or so.....but the writings of those times puts her at 9

But they were real close in age, he being a mere 54 or 55

reminds me of somethng about the difference between Micheal Jackson and the prophet...one prefferred boys and had nine gold records

It's not the same. They don't consider them their homelands. Similarly, you could ask why do so many Jews insist to move to Israel and Jerusalem, why don't they move for example to Arizona? There'll be desert too, but not so many rockets and rock throwers.

Easy. The beach here is only a half hour drive away. It's a lot farther if you live in Arizona. BTW Jerusalem isn't in the desert it's in a more mountainous region. Beer Sheva is in the Negev desert.

California then. You can find desert, beaches, vineyards, orange farms and mountains within a short drive there too.

:D


more in memory of Theo van Gogh:


The prophet Mohammed heard one of his wives was leaving him, so he rushed home where he found her on the carpet in front of his tent. He sat down beside her and said, “Why are you leaving me, wife?”
I heard one of the other wives say that you are a pedophile!” she answered.
Mohammed thinks for a minute and responds, “That’s a mighty big word for a 6-year old....”

The Hummus is lousy and so is the traffic.

So when exactly was it that it was illegal for Jews to immigrate to the Mid-East?

When exactly was it that it was illegal for example for Mexicans to move to the US? Never, I guess?

The difference and the problem is that Israel takes in all Jews who want to come, the more the better. That's how they got their majority. They don't take in as many Muslim Arabs who want to come, the less the better, I'm sure. The US only take as many Mexicans they want to take, not as many as want to come. They also pick and choose, which Mexicans they want.

It would be nice if ten million Muslims from the neighboring countries could freely move to Israel and get a citizenship. Then Israel could be dismantled democratically without bloodshed.

So your answer to my question is that it was NEVER illegal for Jews to move to the region. Thanks for, almost, answering my question.

Now for the other BS you spewed in that post. It is actually illegal for Mexicans (or anyone else for that matter) to just walk right accross our boarders and start living, working, using our service that they don't pay into, etc. There is a legal way for people to immigrate into this country (or any other for that matter). Perhaps that process is too difficult, but that isn't really the point.

Can I just jump in a boat, drive it over to Finland, show up at a business, and start working without telling your government that I'm there?
