I believe in logic. Not morals. If logic follows morals, then it is acceptable. Morals are an invention of man. Logic and common sense are not.
Logically speaking, it is easier for you to show one, not all, just one nation that is not from stolen land, than it is for me to go down the 1000+ years of history of over 200 nations and how they stole land.
If you cannot see the logic in that, then you're a very sad man.
Logic proves every nation is stolen. The first people on Earth were nomadic tribes that settled here and there. Every single occupiable land on Earth is claimed by a nation. None of those nations are currently nomadic. Ergo, every nation is stolen from those unnamed, long forgotten nomadic peoples. There is no land on earth not stolen.

I know it is fact. But if Israel has control of the most powerful, technologically advanced nation on Earth, then the removal by military force or nuclear strike of one small not-advanced nation should not be a problem. Anything else, and you cannot claim Israel controls America. If it's too far, then they do not have control of America.
One hell of thread that you started. I have never seen such a no biased intellectual discussion on ATS ( ;

We can find our own oil, and hell, it's foolish to think that the government couldn't just take over Tesla or someone and replace oil cars. In fact, it's foolish to think America couldn't just pay farmers to put up solar arrays on some crops. We pay them enough subsidies already. It's perfectly practical that America could liberate from Opec and Israel, let the region burn, and reclaim itself as a technological leader. A decent charismatic leader could probably make his political career on that.edit on 31-5-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

Alright here's the reality of this. The angry dude that started this post is clearly an antisemite. Yea maybe you don't want to kill any jewish people, but you are against Jews in one way or another. That's what an antisemite is. You are pissed off because you think something is wrong with Israel and therefore the Jewish people. Well hell yea there's problems with Israel and their government. Their in the #ing middle east it would be strange if there wasnt problems with the government. The Jewish politicians in America don't have a secret formula to getting there. Jews in general want to have positions of power. Its become a tradition in many jewish families to work hard. Jews have been through a lot. Pretty reasonable that they will work hard to get into positions of power. Nothing wrong with that, no secret no conspiracy, just a group of people that is known for working hard to be positions of power. Israel has a good public relations team. They make mistakes and hide them. Palestine and many other arab countries that help Palestine try to show off these Israeli mistakes, because sympathy is good for them. Israel is clearly the stronger of the two, and they can not use sympathy. Everybody wants to cheer for the underdog, which is palestine. Also, jews, as we have seen in history, are just a people that for some reason pisses others off. Whatever it is, people get pissed at the jews and target them. Angry dude, stay angry, you seem like you will be bitter. Fellow teenagers, god bless you in times of awakening. Everybody else, namaste

Can you find the word morals in the bible? Morality is mentioned, but it is used in the context of the logic of God in terms of marriage. The idea of morals, as a guiding force for society, is not present in the Bible.edit on 31-5-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)edit on 31-5-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

Every one of America's allies controls America's foreign policy. I think this is true. I think Israel and the Brits have the largest chunk of influence, but at the end of the day America doesn't really care what Israel wants. America controls Israel, I think. And uses it as a puppet for whenever it wants a war to test new military hardware, or get a region under its influence. Rome did it in Spain, and Russia did it in Europe. It's a scapegoat strategy. While they blame Israel, America takes over the region. In this case, because most of the oil goes to Asia, I think its to prevent a war with China over resources.
However, I don't think Iran is very advanced. Not beyond 80s tech. It's a different world. America is quite literally technologically a century ahead of Iran. It's like a giant gorilla is standing between two flies fighting. The gorilla maybe likes the fly with red eyes more than the one with black eyes, who knows. it could squish either at will.
