hmmm

ok, i don't exactly follow the whole middle east shit, so excuse my ignorance

why do you root for palestine and never isreal?

i guess the media has led me to believe that palestine is a bunch of terrorists, and isreal are innocent victims.

thats ok, i can live with the media bullshit. not like i believe everything i read. or at least i try not to.

i'm sure you'll correct me on this. but like i said i hardly follow the whole issue so here are my 'ignorant' viewpoints: it seems that the palestinians, i believe most are muslim, are wanting their land back which they believe allah gave to them. so maybe, lets say they get it back. these are the same people that cheered on sep 11. once isreal topples... there is nothing to stop these people from bringing their religious ethics (allah said this, allah said that, i own this because allah said so) to other parts of the world?

seems like the situation where two kids are fighting - the one that ends up in tears is always the one that gets sympathy.

that is my viewpoint. i'm not educated on the topic so those that are, consider the fact that i'm calling it from an outsiders point of view. maybe it is a crock of shit... if so, tell me. but no need for name calling, boys.

i guess it comes from the fact that i hate "not understanding" things.... so maybe someone can help me understand why palestine is supported and isreal aren't... as i WOULD like to have an understanding of the conflict
