Skyrad 0 #52 August 14, 2006 QuoteI know the basic philosophy of Christianity is turn the other cheek take the high road and walk away. And in Islam don’t victimize and never be a victim. What the basic philosophy on conflict in the Jewish religion? The reason I am asking is this. When Muslims commit war crimes or acts of terror you see the majority of the Muslims step forward to denounce the ones who have committed murder. As they did in 9-11. I have not seen anything like that from the Jewish community? What I hear and see on the radio is 100% support for Israel. I know of one group of Jews who do denounce Israel and have done since the beginning. I am referring to the current conflict. Whats the deal? You've just not been looking in the right places Darius. There have been many Jewish anti war protests, at least here in the UK, often they are marching alongside Muslim memeber of the community. Don't belive the propergander that they show on CNN, Fox (et al) there is real opposition to the war in Israel as well.

Skyrad 0 #54 August 14, 2006 QuoteIf you are referring to the current conflict, my view is "GO ISRAEL." Don't Muslims understand Irael will always exist? It's technologies, military and education system are light years ahead of anything else in the middle east. Must be because Allah favours the Israeli's?

udder 0 #56 August 14, 2006 good point. but dubai is not self made. "Before oil was discovered in the 1950s the UAE's economy was dependent on fishing and a declining pearling industry."thats from the bbc website. If it wasn't for oil it would be another shithole in the middle east. Whereas Israel has no significant resources.They are entirely the product of their own determination, not a fluke resource discovery. Well, at least far more self-made than UAE."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #58 August 14, 2006 Oh yea the Billions of American taxpayer dollars had nothing to do with it. The endless military support didn’t do anything either. They were magically able to produce F16 and nuclear weapons out of sand. It was Israeli magic. Just like the way they have been able to make some of the world view them as the rightful owners of the Palestinian land.

I am missing something here, was that some sort of challenge? I did not say any number at all only what was observed on 2 different Arabic run TV Channels.

udder 0 #60 August 14, 2006 hahahaha. dude, do you know the deal with the americans? They do give Israel a shitlaod of aid, but no more than UAE would be earning off oil... Many other countries fly the F-16 too. All the shit muslim countries(UAE and Brunei excluded) rely mostly on old Russian technology. None of them developed theirs themlselves either. So big whoopdy fucking doo. Most importantly, you are fucked because Israel will not dissapear. They are a far better military than the countries surrounding them. As much as the Palestinians don't like it, down the line they'll be a small turd in the treatment plant of history. Just like nobody is campaigning to give Australia back to the Aboriginals."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker."

Oil has very little to do with the booming economy in Dubai. Dubai's oil reserves run out in 2010 and their economy will still be running strong...

udder 0 #62 August 14, 2006 I never doubted that it's economy would go into decline. They have built a very impressive business, trade and tourism centre, but they did build it on the back of oil. Just to clarify, are you saying their economy would be where it is without the oil discovery? If you answer yes you are a fucking idiot."In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother.

Just to clarify, are you saying their economy would be where it is without the oil discovery? Oil is such a small part of their economy. It may have given it a boost, but their economy is based on many other things, most notably trade. Now, remember we are talking about Dubai, not another part of the UAE. Prior to the discovery of oil in the UAE, Dubai's port was still generating a lot of money and keeping Dubai with a strong economy. The same could not be said for other parts of UAE.

And if you believe that Israel would be where it is today with out American taxpayer money, and military support you are an idiot. As for the Palestinians I don’t know what there future will be. Comparing them to Australia is not really a good comparison. The Palestinian lands were stolen from them. You reference to them, as a peace of shit explains why there will never be peace. Israeli might kill them and steel their homes but in return Israeli citizens will never have peace either.

Israel in 1950 wasn't that much different from Dubai. Its also not reallycorrect to say that Israel is self made as it recieved massive support from the US and to a lesser extent the UK. Also from millions of jewish people outside of the contry. As for the rest of the middle east being a 'shit hole' I'd guess you've not seen it. Yes there are parts that are but I could easily say the same of America.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
