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

We were never taught why those that stayed back in Germany became Germans, while those that wandered into western Europe developed their own identities?

In other words, the pro-Palestinean posters disregard the rockets and suicide bombings of the not too distant past, and just HARP on the continued settlement of the West Bank, implying no Arab should have to rub elbows with Jewish neighbors.

Anywhere else, this is called a changing neighborhood. It is also a double-standard, based on the implied right of Gentiles to keep Jews at arms distance, Jews being so "different."

I was taught that Bismarck unified the principalities to what is called Germany.

The Sacrum Imperium Romanum (since 800) was later called Sacrum Imperium Romanum Nationis Germanicæ (since at least1512 officially).

When Israel gets damn good and tired of rockets coming into their country then maybe they will return the land they have stolen and continue to STEAL from the Palestinians. The world is watching and waiting before it acts.

Before that there were identities based on one's principality.

But the question with which I am dealing is peace in that area of the world.

I have noted that Jews and Arabs got along relatively peacefully for thousands of years before the state of Israel was created there...and since that creation, they have not gotten along at all.

The existence of the state of Israel in that area has to be considered a prime cause of the friction.

Jews do indeed have a right to self-determination. But so do Arabs and non-Jews living in that area. And many of those people have vowed to continue hostility for as long as the state of Israel remains there. THAT IS THEIR RIGHT ALSO.

Just my opinion, but many a Gentile might have jurisdiction over the question of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, based on their historical family history. Israel might just be outside their jurisdiction; unless of course, if one is ready to rule the world, or proselytize Jesus style koom-bah-yah love ins.

Oh Puhleez! Your exaggerated, emotional display of sentiment is pure theatrics! In America you would be surprised at the number of mixed marriages between Jews and non-Jews.....the number of practicing religious Jews is shrinking here, just like it is with most non-Jewish religions.

Foofie, I am not being a wise-ass here, but you lost me completely with that response. I do not understand what you were getting at....at all.

You sound like quite the authority on what the world has on its mind, in my opinion.

You've got a point, Foofie, I'll grant you that. Unceasing rockets into Israel must be wretchedly annoying to those who live near these sites. To that I say, STOP building settlements in the West Bank if you want consideration from outsiders!!!!!! There! That should be the answer to your rocket predicament.

It is Israel who is 100% disciplined in the use of apartheid,

The effect of the EU is what has brought about the current "so-called" peace talk between the two parties, a process Israel has no intentions of carrying through.

Foofie is governed by paranoia and a definite inferiority complex towards people who talk like me. I really resent having to look at my fellow countrymen to discover which of them are Jews just so I respond to his paranoid nonsense. As far as I'm concerned we're all British, regardless of colour or ethnicity, and I find it quite nauseating talking to someone who is more concerned about what makes us different than that which unites us.
