It seems everything over there is a mess. No offense but when you lock up the leader of a group, you don't expect them to get more militant? ...and this all happens right after it seems a reasonable compromise was found to help stop all of the problems in the area

But quite plainly, I don't agree with the methods either party in this conflict are using. (but not much I can do about it I especially don't agree with the whole suicide bombing mess, you're in an industrialized nation and you can't even mount say a peaceful protest? In that case if Israel was as evil as they say, you could ***** at the UN and win)

[Shrike]

I don't think Palestine is much of an industrialized country..... not that I've ever been there but I think it's pretty poor.

[Zeronet]

Um, Palastine is a state nor country(same thing i know!).

[LtNarol]

There is no state (aka country as we call it) of Palestine, it doesnt exist.  What you do have are the Palestinians who used to live where modern day Israel is and were kicked off their home when Israel came to be.  They've been living out on their own ever since and want to go home.  Israel on the other hand doesnt want them as they are afraid of some Palestinians being anti-Israel terrorists.  Therefore you have the people of Israel who have long be wanting a home and wont give it up now that they have one, against the refugees who got kicked out of their homes and just want to return.  Its a no-win situation down there, you cant just say one side is right and the other is wrong.

Well my point was that the region is relatively industrialized, the people doing the suicide bombings aren't the starving refugees. There are better ways to show their case then what is being done...

[Zeronet]

Thing is, wasnt long ago when a Ambulance was found with explosives in it.

He's still alive! Hooray!

Meh. It's all POINT OF VIEW here. Stuff over there is crazy, and it all depends on how you look at it. People are blowing themselves up over there all because of their POINT OF VIEW.
To plagerize and rip off Obi-Wan Kenobi, "It's from that certain point of view."
I won't even go into mine, I'll probably get flamed to death.

They should just give a 5 day warning then nuke/level all the major religious cities. Jerusalem, Bethlehem and all those other piss-poor places. It'd stop all the damn fighting.

You are a sick strange little man.

but leave the Western Wall please. I'd like to see it again someday and it really does mean something.

If you nuked all of those cities, the entire world would have to deal with a combined Muslim/Israeli jihad against the nukers. That wouldn't be fun no matter how many nukes you tossed at them.

It would create new fighting, no?

Oh, for crying out loud...

Actually, I don't remember him saying he was bringing his wireless modem along. Maybe he's borrowing a friend's.

Jane (my wife) and I were watching the news last night and they mentioned some of the events in Israel. I told her I was worried about things over there and she looked baffled, as I am usually uninterested in global events that do not directly involve the US Navy. I ended up telling her about Sandwich and how cool he is.

I miss the bastard. Glad he's okay.

Me too. Except I, uhh, don't have a wife. But a lot of my friends know who Sandwich is. I miss him too...
