Capt. Pork, you don't have a clue as to my perception of the world. Perhaps when you grow up you will have a clue, but now you don't. Your bias is understandable, but if you ask me to choose between Islamic murdering scum and Jewish murdering scum, I'd rather both be wiped out. Hopefully there still are people on both sides that don't think like you.
I don't have a clue because I don't see things your way? I'm sorry, I dare say that in my twenty some odd years of being on this earth and living in the two nations I've called home, I've developed a cynical viewpoint.
You refer to the Jews as oppressors and yet these 'oppressors' live in a world where they're outnumbered 1 to 20 where they live, and 1 to 100 as far as those that would just as fast see them gone entirely. As far as I'm concerned, the measures they're taking right now are mild, if survival is the key. Your survival has clearly never been threatened, and thus you advocate the live-and-let-live policy that will never work when Islam surrounds you like a circle of torch-bearing inquisitors.
How much time have you spent in the occupied territories? How much time have you spent in the middle east? That's where your perception comes from.
I have to say, Gsholtz, my decision to go there and be there, risking my hide, was, in a very, very small way, influenced by some of the things I've heard spoken on this board. People like you need to stay exactly where you are--warm and safe. Protected and ensured against everything under god by the government. Otherwise this world will be populated only by cynics.
