Israel Attacks Aid Fleet

[LongLiveYorke 38]

Jerusalem was given to the Arabs originally.They attacked Israel, in response Israel took Jerusalem.And I know you know this, but to speak over your shoulder for everyone else:They let them keep their Dome on the Rock because they wanted to get along, even though this same rock is on the Temple Mount, the place of the original Temple built to God, the only one God ever told the Jews to build.The Muslims built a Temple over the rock that gives the temple it's nameThe Muslims believe that this rock was the last place that Mohammad's horse touched the earth as he carried the prophet into heaven. This rock is also considered to have been in the Holy of Holies, which was the inner sanctuary that the Israeli High Priest was allowed to enter only a few times a year. They kept the Ark of the Covenant on this rock.There are many who think this rock was also the very rock Abraham was about to offer his son Isaac.

So, in conclusion, a bunch of fairy-tale BS is at the center of seemingly endless conflict and countless deaths.

ok, aside from the obvious humour in this, it is VERY telling (and quite disturbing) to see the source of the video at the bottom of the page..should make americans stop and think how they are being played for fools. because if u r objective at all, u should realize that since the ENTIRE WORLD is against this, maybe israel was wrong. afterall, the VAST majority of people in existence think israel is wrong, what arrogant right does israel (and most here) have to disagree?

Is Egypt in the ENTIRE WORLD or does it operate from space?

If you want to consider the philosophy of the God-less communist to be just fairy tale BS..then yes...exactly

your entire argument appears to be nothing more than an appeal to consensus, as others have pointed out. where are you from? they must not cover basic logic there. this is weak stuff.and for the rest of you: you only own what you can defend.

Why is Egypt supporting the blockade?

Why is Egypt supporting the blockade?

Great news if true.."An Egyptian security official declared the blockade of Gaza a failure Monday and said his country will keep its border with the Palestinian territory open indefinitely."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/gaza_blockadedon't forget a lot of leaders of muslim countries are merely puppets for the west ie karzi, Musharraf, Shāh Pahlavi, etc..

Please stop using this argument. The number of people who believe something has no bearing on its truth. Should we have believed the world was flat because everyone else thought that?

please stop using YOUR argument. u can argue against ANYTHING with your line of reasoning.

Wait. Haven't you been using links from Al-Jazeera the entire thread?

So hey, nice job undermining your own argument in the same fucking breath. You realize that evolution wasn't always the consensus, right?

uhhhh, ok. try logic, u make no sense.

other things the VAST majority of the world agrees on:Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Taliban is a terrorist organization. Suicide bombers are terrorists, not martyrs. Lobbing rockets from Gaza into Israel is not an act of resistance but merely an act of terrorism.I assume you agree with all these statements right?

actually the vast majority of the world does NOT agree with these statements. u r a product of the western media bias; u r told what to believe, either directly or indirectly, and u happily agree. it takes less effort and intelligence to blindly believe something without looking into it yourself.

[All_In 0]

I would consider it more of an Act of War but that's just minor quibbling.

act of war? do u even know what that term means?these are an occupied people. u may say that the occupation is officially over in gaza, but when another country has your boarders pretty much sealed, makes up the rules for where u live (ie gaza is not allowed to have diplomatic relations with other countries), and basically still controls every aspect of your life (won't allow building materials in to rebuild), it is still occupied.resistance is not an act of war.

huh? I think that was my first post in the thread.

So Hamas and the Taliban are NOT terrorist organizations and Suicide bombers are NOT terrorists ... U MAKE NO CENTSMy argument is sound because I used the letter U instead of typing out the word you and therefore makes any argument I am making more inteligent

please stop using YOUR argument. u can argue against ANYTHING with your line of reasoning.

This makes no sense. My line of reasoning was: the number of people who believe something has no bearing on its truth. If you have some other arguments as to why the Israelis are wrong, my objection will not have anything to do with those. But if you say they are wrong because a lot of people think they are wrong, you will hear my objection again, because it is warranted. Are you disagreeing with me? You can think of no cases in which large groups of people are incorrect? Do you base all of your beliefs on what the majority opinion happens to be? If you have any religious beliefs, the majority of the world thinks you are wrong about those.

Only when it comes to dental work.

So, how do we all feel about Helen Thomas' forced retirement?

[FCP Bob 1,312]

So, how do we all feel about Helen Thomas' forced retirement?

It's funny how old people will just speak their mind sometimes. She's 89 and her parents were born in Lebanon. She probably should have retired a long time ago.I personally see nothing wrong in her having a viewpoint and making the comments that she did even if I disagree with them.

[LongLiveYorke 38]

I'm not sure that I disagree with the fact that if all Jewish people living in Israel collectively decided to move out and give the land to Palestine, the would would be a better place.

I would imagine she is going to dies soon anyway.

We all die.

I couldn't care less if it would make the Muslims happy. I don't like giving into terrorists or babies. The Jewish people have lived there for 6,000+ years, why should they be the ones that decide to leave? Wouldn't the world also be a better place if the Muslims just graciously left the country?

[LongLiveYorke 38]

I couldn't care less if it would make the Muslims happy.

I care if it means there's less war and terrorism.

The Jewish people have lived there for 6,000+ years

Which Jewish person? And how is he so old? Or do you think that what someone's great great great great great great grandfather did should have a bearing on that person's life simply because they're related?

Can't the Palestinians all decide to pack up and leave. Wouldn't the world also be a better place if the Muslims just graciously left the country?

Yes, if they all left or collectively stopped caring about Jews being around, then that'd be good too, especially if the rest of the world stopped caring too.In general, I can think of many ways that I could make the world a better place if I had complete influence over other people's opinions and actions.

[Balloon guy 158]

I care if it means there's less war and terrorism.

What if there is only a 10% chance of achieving this goal/ Still worth it to displace a few million people?

Which Jewish person? And how is he so old?

He doesn't let stress bother him?

Or do you think that what someone's great great great great great great grandfather did should have a bearing on that person's life simply because they're related?

So you are with me in taking the Indian Casinos away from them and telling them they are Americans now and that's it, time to start paying taxes!

Yes, if they all left or collectively stopped caring about Jews being around, then that'd be good too, especially if the rest of the world stopped caring too.

But they run everything..how can we not care?

In general, I can think of many ways that I could make the world a better place if I had complete influence over other people's opinions and actions.

Unfortunately only random occurrences and happenstance controls everything. Luckily there is no purpose though...so it doesn't really matter if things get better of worse.

All_in, do you have any poll evidence that supports what you have been claiming about what 'almost the ENTIRE WORLD' thinks on various issues?
