Reply #1: Interesting.... Its a wonder what everyone was thinking in those moments

in history when they made the Jewish state to begin with? If I understand the situation, it would be like the world deciding Texas was going to now be a sovereign nation and it was going to be a statehood that was primarily made up of devout buddhists or something... And anyone left in Texas would lose right to their lands, homes, and way of life.... Maybe I am completely retarded on the whole subject of Israel becomig a country? I certainly wasn't alive back then.

On the other hand, it is what it is and time to move on now. Peace is the only option. Using these measures of boycotts and embargo's keeps a country from functioning, and, in my opinion, is a measure that keeps most people in the country depressed and resentful... It fuels hatred and sparks wars. What would happen if the whole world ganged up on Americans and didn't trade with us and shunned us, created no-fly zones, had us boxed up with foreign navies and were always threatening our country as a whole, and enforced having foreign inspectors in our govt to see our "books" and military installments... and if they didn't like what they saw, decided to send foreign soldiers in to our country and create a martial law atmosphere over our lives? Now that the dollar is virtually worthless, our govt is corrupt, and we have outsourced most of our resources... it could happen.
