I gotta question for the Americans in this thread. If the Native Americans got really cheesed off and decided they wanted their land back, what would you do? Native Americans have been here for 10,000+ years...we've been around 400 years or so (that just being in the original colonies, this doesn't even count for the west and its short history).
So, would you give your land up to an Indian because they were here longer? We've done exactly what the Jews have done in Israel only far far worst. We basically committed a genocide against the indigenous population, we segregated them to reservations, and Americans are getting on their high horse and criticising what the Jews are doing? Just seems a little hypocritical to me to condemn the Jews for what they're doing now because they've been far nicer than the Americans were to the Indians.
At this point, Palestine should accept what land they get, stop fighting with Israel, and I'm sure the U.S. government will foot the bill for the next 40 years to let them grow healthy and prosperous. There's a time when you have to stop fighting over dirt and start thinking about the future of your children.See Sig...oh wait.Comment

I'm not really into politics/history so to be honest I don't really understand what the hell is going on. I remember seeing this on the news when I was like 6 or 7 and now I'm 28 and it's still going on???
What land exactly are they fighting for? Jews live in Israel and the Palestinians live in the Gaza strip right? Or is it both Jews and Arabs living in the Gaza strip? Who's living there? How about the Jews just remaining living in Israel and letting the Arabs living in Gaza? Does that work? Yes no and why not? What are they fighting about?? Is the gaza strip land?Comment

no dude, we have treaties with the indians that both sides respect. we cant change the past, when we did what we did it was going on all over the world and was accepted. now it is not. does that make it right? hell fucking no! but again, we cant change the past. the indians do have land, gambling rights, and all kinds of other shit including massive amounts of cash from the Gov. we dont go there and take thier land in return they dont come and blow us up.Originally posted by Mr. BlueI gotta question for the Americans in this thread.

the genocide in europe during the nazi reign was nothing compared to other genocides that have happened in modern history. the jews just like to kick and scream the loudest about the shitty end of the stick that was handed to them. the other countries/peoples that have been the victims of genocide have all moved on, accepted they got fucked and delt with it. the russians killed many more millions of ukrainians in the last century then hitler ever dreamt of killing, and we wont even get into the shit that happened when the spanish got to central/south america.Comment

Jews have been living in the region for 5000 years...I guess they dont have a claim to the area.Do you need design work done. I am available check out my site TMC Web DesignsComment

Some dumb remarks get made on this board, especially in relation to this particular subject, but that has to be one of the dumbest.Originally posted by Mighty ChinJews have been living in the region for 5000 years...I guess they dont have a claim to the area.
Jews and Arabs are both semite peoples. They have language in common, religious festivals in common. You name it. And that's because since they have a single ethnic source, they have both been living in the region for a lot longer than 5,000 years: in fact, since before they were Jews and Arabs.Comment

There was no surrender option in the hypothetical scenario you posted , it was if you were forced to relocate to boston from new york and you said you would rather die than move. There was no slavery involved or lack of freedom.. Can you travel in north korea ? is north korea hindering your freedoms by not allowing you in north korea ?Originally posted by Mr. SoulSome people surrender, some people fight back. Look at the Vietnamese. Sure, a lot less of them would have died if they had just sat down and allowed an American backed right wing dictatorship to take over, but their grandkids wouldn't be free, they'd be slaves. Some people value freedom more than life.
Some people have the common sense to understand it better to not give up freedoms and live in a different place safe and secure than it would be if they died.
Life is short but your dead for soooo long..
If you simply follow the golden rule ( there is no justification for murder ever ) then the whole problem is solved. bing bang boom done.hatisblack at yahoo.comComment

You're a smart guy but you have a very strange world view IMO. Your life to you is more important than the freedom of your people. You would surrender to anyone at anytime just save your own skin because your life is all that concerns you. At least you're honest dude, but there's a reason populations don't flee every time a country gets invaded. Some people think that things are bigger than themselves.
And yes, there is slavery and lack of freedom involved. The people of North Korea are slaves and don't have freedom. Just like the Palestinians right now. And just like the Vietnamese would be if they had sat down.Last edited by Mr. Soul; 07-14-2006, 11:06 AM.Comment

The thing is though, the Indians eventually accepted the fact that they were fucked. We signed treaties with the Indians, but only after we beat them into submission. A horrible thing, but eventually the Indians just accepted the fact that they got fucked over and that they better take lemons and make lemonaide out of it or casinos in their case.Originally posted by Whyno dude, we have treaties with the indians that both sides respect. we cant change the past, when we did what we did it was going on all over the world and was accepted. now it is not. does that make it right? hell fucking no! but again, we cant change the past. the indians do have land, gambling rights, and all kinds of other shit including massive amounts of cash from the Gov. we dont go there and take thier land in return they dont come and blow us up.
Maybe it was accepted at the time, but why do we still glorify it? I mean even now you watch any western and Americans are still glorifying the guys that "tamed the west" and kicked those savages out, sheesh. Could you imagine if the Jews started pumping out movies on how they kicked some arab ass? lmao.
I agree, there have been worst genocides, but it doesn't change the fact that the Jews aren't going anywhere. Just like the Native Americans, it's time for the Palestinians to accept the fact that they got fucked and they need to work within the system to advance themselves. If they did work within the system, they'd get a Palestine, they'd probably get shitloads of financial aid, and maybe their children could see a better future.
