Gaza under attack by Israel

[Demigod]

that's basically what he meant. for a duration of thousands of years, people have had conflicts there, maybe not continuously, just repeatedly in the same area.

Give me a region in Euroazia and Africa that has not seen fighting for thousands of years.

I trace my ancestry back to the ever peaceful Germans and Scots-Irish with more than a few border reiver surnames. Nothing to see there but peaceful coexistence.

Mostly from outside agression?

The argument I hear all the time is "infighting for thousands of years".

It is some of both.

Again, I suggest you read this web page to understand what I've been talking about.

Here is a thought experiment: Two men ; one has a lifetime get out of jail card no matter what he does; the other has no card at all. Do you think both men will act the same throughout life? Answer honestly...

Israel has guaranteed US taxpayer funding and a US lifetime 'get out of jail card'. They are acting like 'little angles' with it.

My unvarnished point: Any time there is any serous talk of peace or cutting Israel off there will be a "Hamas rocket"
to stop it.

good article

When I was in Germany, my friend's child got all big-eyed when she saw a black person. My friend said there weren't many blacks in Germany, since the Nazi's. I had no idea! So I started reading, and found all the groups you listed, plus others (Jehovah's Witnesses come to mind) were also victims of the holocaust.

I pointed that out to an evangelical once, ad was accused of lying. Because I am anti-semitic.

It was unreal - like the fact that the Jews weren't the only persecuted group was somehow offensive to the Jews.

I still don't get it.

Welcome to the bizzarro world of Christian Zionism.

I don't think if you were caught in the crossfire, you'd care where the aggression was coming from.

Unless it was completely uninhabited, I can't.
