James > I believe their is an important lesson when God separated the races and confounded their speech. Whether it is only a parable or actually happened it holds truth. Maybe or maybe not. I have been through that racist stuff in SA already and I also know all the arguments to support racism based on the Bible. That's in fact one of the reasons why I want nothing to do with religion in any shape or form. Instead of bringing people closer to God and to peace religion is merely a recipe for hate and for war. One day, maybe, but I don't see it, Christians will actually listen to what Jesus said about loving their fellow men. The Jews, of course, who are allegedly God's "chosen" people are now so few in the world, and getting less all the time, that in a few years time they'll be an anachronism. And that will also be "God's will". > what has the Palestinians done with the land they have? What industrial or technological advances have they made to benefit them? What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? The Zionists STOLE the land -- used or unused -- from the people who were there -- period. They brought war. They have to make it right. It's enough of blaming the victim for the crimes of the perpetrator.

Santi, you are not the only one who is disgusted with the Arab response to helping the Palestinians. The slavish selfishness of the super rich Arabs to their own well being cannot be understood. The poor Palestinians are Arab too. They speak the same language. But do the rich Gulf brothers throw them a few crumbs? I just don't understand their self serving righteous ani-Israeli rhetoric. Why do they not put their limitless money where their even larger mouths are? As far as Israel is concerned, the above description of Arab selfishness and disunity, is of course soothing music. While I am at it, Jordan, who is closest to the Palestinian problem, has in the past brought their armed forces against the Palestinians. They will not give an inch of their desert to the Palestinians, even though they are the same people. The Arab self distructing disunity is a conundrum which I just don't understand. And Israel is reaping the rewards.
