Ha Ha trust me Ive done a little more homework about the middle east then just reading Wiki, theirs full rows in your local library on the subject of the
Israeli/palestiaian conflict you should read up on it. Your right jewish people did rule over that land up to 136AD when the Romans sacked the city and sent the jews out in the Diaspora. But do they have the right to come back almost 2000 years later and then claim that land which had been settled by other people for 2000 years. Do Italians have the right to claim England because the Romans ruled and settled England for 400 years 2000 years ago? But your right Israel is not going to be displaced even though I think it was wrong what occoured in early 19th century when Jews from Europe immigrated to Placestine eventually kicked the Arabs out and declared it a Jewish state, you cant turn back the hands of time, just as it was wrong what the english settlers and subsquently the U.S governtment did to the Indians already living here, but that was 200 years ago so you can see why the Arabs are pissed because it was within living memory just 50 years ago. The reason why it is my beef is because America gives Israel billions of mine and your tax dollars a year, by far more than any other country in the world. And Im sure your for lowering taxes? Israel has the strongest military in the Middle East they have Nuclear weapons so are they really worried about being displaced? Why do they need a blank check from the american tax payer? Do really think Israel wants to give that land to the palestianians (Gaza/westbank) for a 2 state solution why do you think they keep building settlements their. Are U.S policy since the 70's and even under GWB is that Israel should stop building settlements in those occupied lands move toward a 2 solution, but they say fuck you america and then take their blank check from the tax payers and continue to build settlements. The reason why it is my beef is because are unbriddled support for Israel and their policy in gaza/west bank actually hurts America, That is a big reason but not the only reason why their is so much hate for America from Arabs and why Terrorists have attacked the U.S in the past. Why do we continue to give Israel all this money if they don't agree to are policy.......a two state solution........if we stopped giving them this unending support then they would have incentive to compromise............terrorism is like a swamp, if you want to stop it you need to drain the water, not pour more water into it
