Can you look at this map and say Israel does not systemically appropriate land?

Ah, now there's the whole problem right there. What gave the Brits and the League of Nations the "right" to give away the land that the Palestinians and their ancestors had been living on for centuries, to someon else? The whole thing, the Balfour Declaration and the Palestinian Mandate, was the last dying gasp of thoroughly discredited European Imperialism. The Palestinians weren't consulted, and they have never agreed to the illegal--in their eyes and the eyes of the world since WWII-expropriation of their land.

So much historical facts will only confuse the anti-Arab folks; they'll ignore it like everything else. After all, god gave them that land, who has the right to argue?

In regard to the Zionists' treatment of the Palestinians, less free does equate to concentration camps, your paranoid rationalizations notwithstanding. The concentration camps pre-date the suicide bombings. It's fairly basic, the concentration camps are the cause and the suicide bombings are the effect.

Your use of the word "concentration camps" cannot be found in any mainstream media.

According to Maariv correspondent Ben Caspit, Israel believes the US may be behind the action, persuading Germany to punish Israel for the breakdown in talks with the PA (Palestinian Authority).
[...]
Merkel has not hid her disappointment surrounding the failed talks, placing most of the blame on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, not the PA. This leads some to believe that the chancellor acted on her own, without any US involvement towards backing out of the deal.

Maariv quotes another senior individual anonymously, who explains it may not be that simple since in order for Germany to grant such a sizable reduction in costs it must obtain approval from its parliament and perhaps Merkel realized it would not pass.

Bingo.

On the contrary, with the extreme exception of Oralloy, most understand what is written,

does not mean they believe in the god of bygone days, before man was educated.

settlers should have every settlement in the West Bank taken away from them and they (the settlers) should be placed inside Israel proper.

Look it up in a dictionary.

The shoe fits, as it were.

I realize your question is for rhetorical effect, Ci, but I will answer it as tho you were serious. I, we, have a right to argue with respect to the Palestinian vs Israeli conflict, after all, as an American tax payer to Israel, why not?!? ! Most people do not realize that Hebrews wrote the Old Testament, not a god, and it was written by many hands over time; it was the Hebrews' cultural religion and it was the Hebrews who stated THEY were the "Chosen People," after all, it was their book, their religion, their culture so why not make themselves the "Chosen Ones"?

Akhenaten, Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, introduced Monotheism to his people, abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism. There were over 102 Commandments for the Egyptian people to follow daily. After his death, Egyptians hurriedly returned to their polytheism, with the exception of the Hebrews who kept Monotheism alive after they were freed from Egyptian slavery.

If you can prove to me a god gave Palestine to the Jews I would immediately covert to becoming a believer in a god.

In my opinion, Man created gods because there was an emotional and psychological need for such an entity.....remember during our very earliest, man was just trying to survive from day to day, fruit gatherers....their imagination went to work and their gods at first were majestic animals, trees, the stars, Jupiter, Mars, etc; there are people today who still need/rely on religion as a crutch. I maintain respect for these people because our culture is undergoing change, and eventually, we, all of us, will reach that tableau when life and experience will have taught us much more than we realize today.

Please be assured that Jews don't believe the comment, unless it is to describe a people chosen for slaughter and other persecution.
