My point is, you should be prejudiced against Israelis if anything. Not all Jews support Israel.

They have their own defence forces too, which were armed by Israel.

 

Don't forget the rest of it.

When Israel embarks on a military operation to take out Palestinian terrorist hideouts, people in the area or in the buildings to be targeted are given plenty of warning, so they can get out of the way. Israel deliberately AVOIDS TARGETING the civilian population of Palestinians. In response, the PLO makes sure that women and children remain in the area, so that they can shed their crocodile tears later on about Israel "murdering women and children." The Palestinians, of course, have no idea how their leaders are using them, while all the time their children are being taught hatred of Jews in Palestinian schools, insuring generation after generation of hatred and bloodshed.

When a Palestinian straps on a bomb-belt and sets it off in a crowded square or on a bus, no warning is given. Palestinian suicide bombers deliberately TARGET the civilian population of Israel.

Israel is the ONLY country in the Middle East that was and is willing to accept refugees from other Arab countries...and we see how Israel's generosity is rewarded.

Israel is the ONLY country in the Middle East that grants full rights of citizenship (including the right to vote) to refugees from other Arab countries...and we see how Israel's generosity is rewarded.

Every single time Israel decides to make a conciliatory gesture toward the Palestinians, they are rewarded with more death and destruction.

Funny how, after thousands of years of being the target of unmitigated and unreasoning hatred, Jews decide they won't take it anymore...and look how the world views them. The UN decides that Zionism equals racism. Most of the Arab world refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist. The ancient racist canard "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" (the Czarist forgery supposedly setting forth a plan for Jews to control the entire planet) is accepted as gospel truth in the Arab world. The Liberty Lobby, the US racist white-supremacist anti-Semitic group, republishes Nazi publisher Julius Streicher's "special edition" of Der Stuermer, which repeats every lie ever told about the Jews. And, in a spectacular example of the world's blindness, Yasir Arafat is awarded a Nobel "peace" prize. :barf:

Guess what: Whether you like it or not, Jews have decided that they will no longer be victims.

 

 

^--. I knew somebody'd find that sooner or later.

 

You are so right! The jewish population is great! the best people in the world, and all the generosity!! how could I think other wise! God bless the jews! Idiot they take the palestinians land AND then tell them they can have the isralie citizenship!

 

No, I'm not prejudiced against any group - but I, like everyone else, definitely have some stereotypes here or there about certain types of people (or all).

It's not something I let influence how I act around them, or treat them, but it doesn't change the fact that sometimes it seems that stereotypes really do fit.

Palestinians were *stateless* because no country in the region wanted them. They were turned away by Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq. The ONLY country that would take them was Israel. They were offered citizenship BEFORE they had land they could call their own. In case you didn't get it the first time, I'll repeat it: Israel took them in when no one else would...and they express their gratitude in blood and death.

You will notice that Israel walled off their settlements (which I think was entirely too provocative a move, but that's another discussion). They didn't expel them. They didn't withdraw their citizenship. They didn't herd them into refugee camps, or worse. And contrary to your belief, they didn't appropriate Palestinian-owned land. They are still welcome as citizens AND land-owners, as long as they behave like citizens and not like terrorists.

If you want to continue to believe Palestinian lies, you are as much a tool of the terrorists as the Palestinian people, who continue to let people like Arafat jerk their chains. A leader who was truly interested in peace would stop urging his people to act like terrorists, but this is precisely what Arafat keeps doing. His so-called attempts to stop the violence are laughable and doomed to failure because, very simply, no one believes him when he says he wants peace. The power and authority over the Palestinian people wielded by the Palestinian Authority rests on this fact alone. They urge their people to hate, and they teach it to their children...and until that changes, the bloodshed will never end.

 

Haters. If people would learn to stop sweating the small sh:t and just friking get over it once in a while we'd all be a lot better off.
I just mean, look at the bigger picture. Life goes on with or without us.
