* The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.
* The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics.
* The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the and the arabs, the following two sentences really say it all:
If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence in the world.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel .

True, although I would insert 'muslim' instead of 'arab'.
Well, almost true. Of course there would be violence, but most of today's conflicts are muslims versus X.

Last two sentences NOT TRUE
If Jews (as you say) withdrew from all Arab (as you say) territories and start paying attention to the 'Arab' people... things would completely change. Jihad or other so called 'terrorist organizations' wouldn't have anymore followers, therefore disapear.
Isreal is just using the 'they want us to be whipted of the map' thing so they can continue to do what they've been doing since 1967.
And you're statements of 'cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims' is also insane... since if you read (nothing more just) the news you would know that they blow up everyone even Muslims.
Because of people like you we are where we are, and unfurtunately will be for a long time.

Before you go writing odes and poems to the Israeli jews I implore you to examine two expert evaluations on the history and value of Israel to America: You can find this on the net and a unedited version resides in the library at Harvard University:
The Israel Lobby by John Mearsheimer -Professor of Political Science University of Chicago &
Professor Stephan Walt - Kennedy School of Government ,Harvard University

No, instead the state of Israel (don't confuse Jews with Israel--it's not the same) engages in terrorism by bombing and shooting hundreds of innocent civilians on a trumped of pretext. Israel insists on holding on to land because "God told them to". If Arabs put down their weapons, then Israel could simply wipe Palestine of the map, as they've wanted to do for years. Israel doesn't have to hijack planes, or kill athletes at the Olympics, because they have big powerful airplanes and rockets from the U.S.--Arab states are simply using the tools they have at their disposal. Remember, Israel is in violation of far more U.N. security council resolutions than all of the surrounding states combined--is it wrong for the nearby states to defend U.N. resolutions?
And where did you find out the religious orientation of Nobel Prize winners?
I'm not trying to say terrorism is okay. I'm just trying to clarify that both sides have committed atrocities...for example, I recall that recently Israel killed over 1000 civilians in a nearby country, allegedly to bring back 2 captured soldiers. Is this reasonable? Isn't this terrorism?

In today's society, modern civil unrest is mearly a sub-product. There is no cookie-cutter solution to these ancient problems of middle east unrest. Wars will continue to be fought regardless of our political, or econical, attacks.

The Jews need to get out of Israel. The only reason Europe put them there was because they didn't want them in their country. It is not Arabs that cause violence, but the extremists and not just Muslim extremists, but ALL extremists.

I agree with your assessment entirely.
