Why is Israel the good guys????

There wasn't any "good land" in Palestine before the Jews started migrating back there and began reclaiming the land from the desert. There were no orange groves or olive groves or anything. Read what Mark Twain wrote about Palestine when he visited there and you'll get the idea about what the Jews found when they arrived. If you are basing what the Jews "took" from the Arabs by what you see in Israel today than you are naive indeed. The vast majority of the Arabs that evacuated Israel when the first war started were recent arrivals themselves.The Jews had turned the worthless land back into something and made it a nice place to live. Of course people will take notice and want to move there, jobs and food and services and all the rest. After the war, the Jews invited the displaced Arabs back into the land to live and you go do the homework and find out what happened to the few who accepted the offer and who did it to them.

So much has happened in the last 40 years that has compounded the hate on both sides that it is easier for me to try to understand the formation of the universe than to try to talk about this subject.I cannot even imagine the genuine hatred that these people have for each other, I mean I have some very bad pent up anger for a former supervisor I had 12 years ago, but that's as close as I can come to that kind of anger and I'm not even scratching the surface.Well, let me clarify, if the Washington Huskies go down today to USC (University of Spoiled Children), I'll be pissed off enough to go claim the Temple Mount for myself. I'll fly a huge "W" flag from the top of the Dome of the Rock Mosque, and start ethnic clensing all non-huskies fans from the middle east.[This message has been edited by Lizard Breath, 10-25-2003]
