RE: The Voluntary Exchange Podcast - Jerusalem
You leave the US out of it! I didn't tell them to stick their nose in.
Yes I'm talking about the half century conflict in which Syria is the aggressor, why declare war on someone your still at war with?
Your country imposed the Oslo process on Israel just like they did with Yugoslavia with friends like that who needs enemies!
I wish more "pro-Israel" (that's their term) had the outlook you have. I can disagree with your country's government and policies, but my real issue is more domestic. There is nothing more toxic in American political discussion then suggesting that Washington D.C. should be hands off when it comes to Israel.
You Disagree with Canada? Unforgivable!?!😜
A lot of the American people support Israel, I would say they know who their religious enemies are. Now that may be a concept that means nothing to you(or me for that matter) but to a large percentage of the world its very important. Just because when you look out on the world you see human beings it doesn't mean the world looks at you so kindly.
If some Americans believe that their "religious enemies" are Muslims an ocean away, they can go fight them. But that fight leads to blowback here, and not all of us signed up for it. Arab Muslims are not planning to invade the United States because we allow women to vote. Its because of their dead kids.
And if they do want to come here and "get me", having the full might of the US military stationed here and on my coast makes a lot more sense.
You think the Israelis are happy about their dead kids?
You ascribe the Muslims contention with us and others is because of our past crimes while ignoring what their ideology claims as their reason for opposing Israel and Jews i.e. jews are descended from apes and pigs. Or the creator of Fatah being an actual Nazi who sought nothing less than the destruction of all jews.
You kill a kid in Gaza now. The kid's relatives hate you. You're doing all the ascribing. You putting everyone involved in groups and claiming every human being called a Palestinian does what they do because of "their ideology".
People from Yemen try to blow up Americans because we killed their kids.
What about the 1/5 Palestinians that are Christian?
What about the secular ones that just hate guns in their face and checkpoints?
I know why the Muslims hate me. It's not because of their ideology.
I've had open discussions with pro-Israel posters on here that told me Muslims are "beasts". I think both sides are out of their minds.
I just look at the reality of who controls the walls, the airspace, the water, electric, has nukes, and who doesn't.
I was specifically referencing the ideology and the hate it contains.
