I agree with most of what you have to say in that post Nadine about the modern relations between Pals and their supporters with Isreal. I have argued with the ever hopeful Michael that the Pal/Isreal conflict is not resolvable. It would be nice if some thing changed my view but I can't imagine anything short of a visit from Messiah untangling that knot.

If you identify with Israel I don't blame you for complaining about local/regional sheiks and self important scholars who are enemies of Israel. It would be nice if you could separate that issue from others but you tend to generalize it where it doesn't apply.

I don't agree with you that Muslims have historically been rotten to Jews. We've already discussed the historical dhimmi contracts which was far and away the most just, fair, and decent treatment any subculture ever recieved up to that time, including the treatment Jews gave to sub/other cultures. And far from what you attempted to portray as the equivalent modern threat by Islam to the rest of the world.

"The fight occurred when Jews wanted to have a country of their own, not live in Arab countries by Arab rules."

Not to mention that it wasn't some country on the moon but the same one where Pals were living at the time. Would you fight if I want to have your home? I think it would be nice if it could be resolved now without further fighting but that comment is silly.
