I also agree that Israel takes measures to reduce casualties. However, the Israelis do not have a very high perspective of the Palestinian people.

The same goes for how the Palestinians view the Israelis.
The issue for me is that it is such a difficult situation to evaluate. I play things over in my mind continuously and I have not figured out a way to take a side. I'm sorry if this isn't the viewpoint you have, but I have seen news of the blockades Israel imposes on the Palestinians. I see the oppression.

An interview with the son of one of the Hamas founders. About Islam and the problem of the Muslim world with extreme Muslim terrorists who betray the muslim cause tortures its own people.
Yousef said he was indoctrinated at an early age to use violence to challenge Israeli control in the region. As a teenager he moved up within the organization and became the leader of the radical Islamic Youth Movement that fought Israeli tanks and troops in the streets, celebrated suicide bombings and recruited young men to the cause.
Yousef, 30, said he realized the true nature of Hamas and radical Islam during a stint in an Israeli prison. He renounced his Muslim faith, left his family behind in Ramallah and converted to Christianity.

I think that the Fundamentalist Mormons are in the 72 Ho's line.
Now before I get a ton of hate mail, let me say that I have a "former sister-in-law" in one of those cults and she fits the description of Ho.
The stories I could tell, maybe I should start a thread about that?

I agree with everything you said about the imperialistic pursuits of Israel. That's why I label them as evil in their ideologies. They literally view the Palestinian people as animals.
N o matter how much you rant and rave about the evils of Israel it will not change my perspective because that is the light in which I already view them.
However, I also have enough sense to realize the goal of fundamentalist Islam and the Jihad movement.
It is quite simply to wipe out all infadels. That would include you and me. In my mind that is also evil. That is also an ideology I cannot accept.
How can I possibly support either of these ideologies over the other when my ideology focuses on striving to love all people?
Sorry Stellar, but no matter how hard I try to rationalize supporting one side over the other I cannot.
Until we change our overall perspective of the world peace will never truly occur.
It will only be found in the forced submission of nations and people.

I wonder what warps your mind to support the Genocide of Jewish people. Do you go to University?
Islamic Jihad has no legitimate goal. You're supporting your own destruction.
The Palestinians have made it clear. Jihad is their method. They reject any Jewish state. This is not an issue of occupation but existence.
No , one has to look at who intends to slaughter and who respects human life.
You are morally corrupt and deluded by your Cultural Marxism.
More inaccuracies. Muslims are not looking for space to have a nice little country. They are looking to dominate the world.
All one needs to do is listen to what folks like HAMAS say to their people and each other. If one wasn't such a lazy pathetic thinker like most people in the West are becoming, then what their goals are should be crystal clear.
All you have to do is listen what they say to each other and not the gullible ignorant lemming-like Press who the Muslims have mastered manipulating.
Defending Israel's existence is tantamount to defending your home nation's right to exist as well.
Look up the meaning of this common Arab Middle East phrase if you think I'm wrong " First comes Saturday then comes Sunday"

I'm amazed how people just invent evils to assign to Israel. I wish Israel acted the way you claim they do.. this war would have been over a very long time ago.
HAMAS is the things you say Israel is. I know for a fact the pains Israel takes to avoid civilian causalities.... does HAMAS try to do that? No.
What I see here is a lot of laziness and cowardice. What is more easy than to go along with the mindless crowd and blame the evil Jews for agitating the poor innocent docile Arabs.
Are the Jews going to get revenge on you? They going to beat you up ? No. They bother no one.
To tell the truth about Muslims is a risk though. Especially in college, which are being taken over by Saudi Arabia-approved disinformation.
And.. the Muslims hate America and hate Non-Muslims.. why in the world would someone side with them when they only want to eventaully destroy your country ..
is your Jew hatred that much that you're willing to side with the monsters who can't wait to do to America what they're doing to Israel.
And when will you folks listen to what the Muslims say to each other? Maybe then you'd realize we're a target no matter what we do, or who we support.
Being cowardly and thining if we leave Israel on its own will somehow make the Muslims less prone to want to attack this country.. it's not going to work.
They're going to come here and they're going to do what they can to bring us down.
THey have to . It's their religion.
The more victories they think they win , no matter what the contest is, the more confident and motivated they are to destroying us.
Problem is that Israel has committed the majority of the crimes it's being accused of around here and while it's obvious that they can inflict vastly greater casualties on the Palestinians they too have to maintain the pretense that they are in fact acting in 'self defense'; some don't blanch at 100 to 1 casualty rates but even they would at the thousand to one rate Israel can probably inflict at will with their air superiority.
...
Hamas ,if it's behind the recent rocket attacks, have not even managed to inflict a half dozen casualties on Israeli citizens so it's clear that they do not hold the power to cause casualties and possibly not even the power to control ALL elements of their party. This might explain why Hamas is not listed as a terrorist organization by either Britain or Australia.
How you can argue that the usage of 500 pound bombs and aircraft is a 'pained' effort to avoid casualties i just don't know. Sure it's a way to avoid Israeli casualties but Palestinian? Tell that to people with IQ scores well below 100.
...
What is harder than standing up when almost every government on the planet either actively supports or passively condones Israeli outrageous against the Palestinian people? What is easier than blaming the starving masses created by Israeli aggression for causing it? I mean what kind of people would the Israeli's have to be and what kind of world would this be if the Israeli's government is doing this because it has the power to do so and it suits their territorial ambition? Too much truth for you or what? I mean we all know the Nazi's where the victims of the Jews for centuries before the holocaust so the Jews had it coming, right? Those damn Australian aborigine's and American Indians should have just packed up their stuff and left both continents, right?
Please stop parroting imperialist propaganda by perpetually heaping the blame for the crimes of the Imperialist on their victims; it really does not say much about your intellectual prowess.
Maybe when their done stealing the land directly around them they will set their sights on more? What does most imperialist nations do when their initial victims have been dispatched?
To tell the truth about Muslims is a risk though. Especially in college, which are being taken over by Saudi Arabia-approved disinformation.
You have GOT to be joking? Do you know who funds the Saudi-Arabian government? Basically the US government, according to you, is funding SA to propagandize you into believing that Israel is the enemy while the US government tries to convince you that they are not?
No surprise that you are confused and conflicted then....
Back in the 1930s various socialist and Marxist groups decided that orthodox-Western civilization could only be destroyed from within. Gramsci, the Frankfurt school, Derrida and the post-modernists along with others observed that a flanking movement which took over the media, the political elite and the university system, was the only feasible plan to achieve Marxist domination of the Western nation state. ... Now we see the same attack from Arabs and Islamic radicals. It is extremely advanced in Europe – but its most vital victim is fast becoming the USA.
Saudi money is fueling the rise of Islam within the US. They are doing so in 3 ways. First, they subvert the US political process by buying off politicians. Second, they pervert US universities by taking over ‘Middle Eastern’ studies and programs. Third, they convert most of the US media, a generally apathetic population and social commentators with virulent propaganda emanating from ‘think-tanks’; webzines and Islamic groups posing as ‘moderates’.
...
we have the Saudi and radical Muslim takeover of ‘Middle Eastern’ studies at campuses throughout the US. It is well known that Berkeley, Georgetown, Columbia, Baylor, Brown and literally hundreds of other US campuses have had any curriculum concerning the Middle East taken over by radical Saudi and Muslim money and propaganda. This subversion and perversion of young, innocent minds means that the Americans are training a huge cadre of largely anti-American; anti-Semitic pro-Muslim sympathizers. The consequences – both political and economic – of such a shift in philosophical orientation amongst the young will be grave.
It's sad that you have simply exchanged the rather well substantiated Zionist international conspiracy with a international Muslim conspiracy that can't prevent most Muslim nations from being exposed to neo-liberal 'economics' ( economic terrorism), invasion , occupations and worse? I mean what's the odds that you could come up with such a nonsensical scenario all on your own?
