Make of it what you will, I'm not in this thread to debate you or anyone else.Sorry, but I am not going to get into a debate about the founding of Israel. Jews pre-date Islam in the Middle East, thus it is not surprising that they attempted to return there after the attempt to eradicate them in Europe. I am not Jewish, but when I look at the work of Jewish scholars and the large number of Nobel prizes awarded to Jews I admire their contribution to humanity.
Same for me. Just here to offer my opinion.Make of it what you will, I'm not in this thread to debate you or anyone else.
Agreed. That is why, way back on page 9, I suggested moving Israel to a safe place in North America.Thanks to a member I was able to read an interesting account of the Oslo Accords. I give up, this mess that has grown out of the creation of Israel will almost certainly never be solved in the lifetime of any of the members of this forum. Arguing about it is pointless. The solution has to come from the Middle East. Hard to understand how both sides can, or will, ever reach a mutual agreement.
Here are the latest developments:
Until North Americans understand the theology of Islam and how it is connected to all the other Islamic Jihad attacks around the world, no place in North America is any more safe than the Twin Towers in New York City were on 9/11/2001.Agreed. That is why, way back on page 9, I suggested moving Israel to a safe place in North America.
That's about 10 million people, most of whom have homes and businesses and ties to schools, land, places of worship, cemeteries, etc.Agreed. That is why, way back on page 9, I suggested moving Israel to a safe place in North America.
Well, certainly it is up to the Israelis to decide, but it would probably be easier than finding a peaceful solution that will allow them to stay where they are.That's about 10 million people, most of whom have homes and businesses and ties to schools, land, places of worship, cemeteries, etc.
Piece of cake.
All Muslims should be deported from the US, Canada, and all of Europe back to the ME. All the Mosques should be destroyed. And I disagree that the "average American" (and I am one) is clueless about what's going on.Until North Americans understand the theology of Islam and how it is connected to all the other Islamic Jihad attacks around the world, no place in North America is any more safe than the Twin Towers in New York City were on 9/11/2001.
The Islamic jihad leaders don’t fight in Gaza. They live billionaire lifestyles in Qatar and Turkey and meet with other Islamist Jihad leaders from around the world who are associated with the international Muslim Brotherhood. They all have the same goal, and it would behoove Americans to educate themselves about what that goal is.
They’ve been sending their members to American universities to be educated for years. One Palestinian Hamas senior member, Mousa Mohammad Marzook, graduated from Colorado State University and earned his Doctorate in Industrial Engineering at Louisiana Tech University. They have powerful allies like President Erdogan of Turkey who built a multi-million dollar Mosque in Lanham, Maryland complete with guest quarters and Turkish baths.
Their plan of infiltration, agitation and domination of America is working well, along with their public relations plan to pacify gullible Americans with Interfaith socials and charitable events. It’s good that America provides arms and aid to Israel, but aside from that, the average American is clueless about the psychological war going on their own soil.

Can’t speak for Europe and Canada, but deportation of US citizens based on religion has a little problem, the Constitution. What we can do is control our borders and strongly resist application of Sharia Law within our borders. As for Europe, due to their proximity to the Middle East and North Africa, their problem far outweighs ours. Israel‘s plight? I doubt it will ever be resolved.All Muslims should be deported from the US, Canada, and all of Europe back to the ME. All the Mosques should be destroyed. And I disagree that the "average American" (and I am one) is clueless about what's going on.
I hope you’re right about the average American. But what I’ve seen from the national media, the government and many individuals is a huge amount of energy spent on trying to disassociate Islamic jihad attacks from Islam and pretending only a tiny fraction are involved.And I disagree that the "average American" (and I am one) is clueless about what's going on.
I fear it's going to take something extremely huge [againBut what I’ve seen from the national media, the government and many individuals is a huge amount of energy spent on trying to disassociate Islamic jihad attacks from Islam and pretending only a tiny fraction are involved.
It’s really a hard situation. Hamas had to know that Israel would respond when attacked. I have been reading about all the Palestinian teenagers in prison without ever having a trial.Here are the latest developments:
- Israeli strikes kill 178 Palestinians since end of ceasefire
- Will a Gaza 'buffer zone' play into Israel's post-war strategy?
- 'Hell on Earth' humanitarian crisis in Gaza, hospitals overwhelmed
- US ready to ban violent Israeli settlers
- Israel strikes targets in Syria near capital Damascus
- UN rights office 'seriously concerned' about Israel's increased arrest of Palestinians
They already hate Israel/Jews, Terry. They (Hamas) are trained from the cradle to destroy the entire Jewish population.If you leave the kids alive they surely will hate Israel for what’s happening.
I don‘t believe anyone has the answer, probably because there is no answer. Islam is what it is and always has been, and it is not going to change. There is another issue that never gets mentioned. Israel has a large stockpile of nuclear weapons and Iran, a strong supporter of Hamas, clearly wants the same. Yikes!I don’t have the answer, but it sure is interesting to watch.
Alternatively, the surrounding countries could decide to be peaceful neighbors; to live and let live. I think Israel would be fine with that.Well, certainly it is up to the Israelis to decide, but it would probably be easier than finding a peaceful solution that will allow them to stay where they are.
I agree. I’m certain Israel would be fine. As for Islam???Alternatively, the surrounding countries could decide to be peaceful neighbors; to live and let live. I think Israel would be fine with that.
They need to reign in their extremists and militants. They need to publicly disclaim them and admonish them and even punish them. Some Islamic leaders do, of course, but you've got huge Islamic sects, and they argue with each other and out-yell each other.I agree. I’m certain Israel would be fine. As for Islam???
The origin of Islam goes back to its founder Mohammad and his battles against Jewish settlements in the Middle East. An urge toward peace doesn‘t seem ingrained in the Islamic character.But anyway, a coming-together of Islam to ALL live peacefully beside their neighbors seems impossible right now.
