Answer 1

Habibi (dear)

i wish i knew i wish i culd change things but it sucks its becuase Jewish people are rich and powerful and are in the congress and control the government, i am palestinian and the treatment i get when i go there is unbelievable as if i am scum or dirt all because i hold a palestinian passport i would do anything to be able to live in my home country, but until mre people like u pop up in the world that dream will never come true, i mean lets face it israel couldnt win a card game without americas help

Answer 2

If the Palestinians withdrew from Israel everyone could live in peace, Israel is very very small, the Muslim Arab lands are Huge in comparison. They would be free to fight with someone else for a change.

Answer 3

we could do a splash little bit of an diagnosis till now answering this question. bear in ideas some time past whilst Abraham Lincoln grew to become into working for president. The Democrats slit into 2 events, one from the north, one from the south. The Democrats from the south needed slavery to be criminal in each and every state, the Democrats from the north needed the guy states to p.c., and the Republicans (Abraham Lincoln) had to end slavery in each and every state. The Republicans had to end slavery all together, and the Democrats did no longer (many have been racist against blacks). Now the Democrats sense undesirable for what they did, and now think of that affirmative action will make up for what they did lower back then. in spite of the undeniable fact that, that's racist against whites and adult men. i think of companies want to p.c.. the main qualified workers, they do no longer care in the event that they're male or female, black or white, they only want the main qualified workers. in short, Republicans want equality, and Demorats continually seem favoring one race or the different.

Answer 4

Just like another person mentioned, I'm sick of hearing about the "poor innocent Palestinians." These are the same "innocent" people that teach their children to throw rocks at Israeli tanks. Watch Death in Gaza, it's amazing how pathetic these Palestinians are. They teach their children to hate Jews. Israel is here to stay. Let the Palestinians learn how to accept each other before they demand anything of Israel, these idiots have already turned on eachother, look at the current news. By the way all you Hammas supporters, I guess the 15% Christian minority of Palestinians means nothing to you huh?

Answer 5

Dude the US practically made Israel after the war. They are in bed together, its almost co-dependance. Without the US Israel whould stand no chance against regional attack. Without Israel, the US would not have a strategic presence in the region (not to mention OIL). Which they are trying to set up around the world. Not to mention the massive but quiet 'Jewish lobby' in the states. The Jews are as a group very rich and very intelligent, and combined this leads to influence. Don't get me wrong I like Israelis, Jews and America. But they mustn't pretend that they are right or wrong in the middle east. They are just one side of the debate. Just as many Israelis commit atrocities on Palestinians as Palestinians commit on Israelis.

Answer 6

Because basically America is a total paradox ever exists to every human life.
America is a volatile place right now... Sorry to say. From there comes all the greatness of life, but also derives all the dreadful lifestyle...
Since America ages only more less 600 years old, so America is considered as one of the youngest countries in the world.
Yes America helped and helps for many positive humanitarian things in this world. America do have such a big contribution to this world, but at the same time America also really display and portray how shameful, horrendous, shallow and wicked they are towards many things in this life. America creates order BUT also chaos at the same time...
They make not only fantastic war movies but also make the REAL wars in reality.... and they do enjoy wars like playing playstation. They are full of hope and greatness but they are also full of hatred, anger, wickednesses and hang ups. American lives their life in such a spectacular way compare to other countries on this planet. But at the same time American do live in such a tiny bubble and fuzzy dreams ever. America is smarter than smart, but they also stupider than stupid.
America is the chaos and the order at the same time-. America not only makes great creations to the world but also painful and traumatic destructions emotionally or physically..... for sure.

Answer 7

The triangle of evil is the US,Israel,and Britain......all three believe they are morally and ethically superior but, with your question and statement it is very hard to defend such brutal policies. The voting record at the UN you just showed is a bright shinning example of the absolute criminal behavior the three bully's take part in, the lowest form of moral depravity is to hold other's to a standard that you yourself have no intention of living up to yourself. Zionism is at the root of the problems in the middle east , and as for why the US protects Israel.........Israel does whatever they want regardless if the US approves...why, because they have nuclear weapons, they don't need the US to protect them(that's a myth,the US actually goes along with them in any decision they make) You are going to be very surprised at the shallow,no substance answers your going to recieve......it's hard to defend criminal behavior... great question......and by the way I'm an american!

Answer 8

if it were only that simple.

I suppose that justifies these same victims of Israel who were once allied with Hitler and happily marching jews to their doom?

don't speak to me of the innocent and suffering palestinians, handed more in world aid than nearly any other group of people on earth they'd rather spend their time trying to blow up jews than helping themselves.

I'm tired of the hate, let both groups kill each other, i no longer care for either of them.

Answer 9

ITS OUR RIGHT < MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES MAKE THERE OWN RULES , WERE JUST PLAYING A DIFFEREN'T SET OF RULES

Answer 10

Someone get the Raid.
