Reply #110: Not a bad position to take

[Show_Me _The_Truth]

Your view is not out there by any stretch.

The argument that I was making about who was there first was in response to people syaing that the Israelis/Jews stole the land. These word games can be played all day and all the way back to some pre-stone age tribe that was probably driven off the land by some other tribe. Moot point that won't solve anything.

Has the Israeli army gone too far, sure. That also is a sad fact of war, you can trace questionable acts back to any armed conflict on all sides. No one is immune or without guilt.

Its not about being honest, its about answering the calls that modern Israel is the agressor here. Terrorist attacks are being launched from land, legitimately taken during a war started by Arab (Muslim) armies, they have given back to the Arabs (yes Arabs, b/c there are Arab Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the region), yet the Muslim factions keep launching attacks from these regions. They are being attacked from another sovereign country's bordere area, after they withdrew troops who they placed there to prevent such attacks. This is not recent isolated violence, this has been happening since the creation of Israel and even further back to when there was only a Jewish Palestinian section of the region. Modereated response have not worked for them. They continue to get attacked in the same regions by the same people, hiding in the same places. Even after they leave the area.

What is the solution? Who knows? But I refuse to give any credibility or credence to the terrorist organizations using tools of terror then claiming these are valid tools of "civilized" war. Its all in the intentions.
