Defender:
Warmongers? Is it your Christian duty to assist your neighbor if they are being killed? If you value life you will fight evil.

in reply to your posts below, i thought a new post is merited.
it is really outstanding the transformation of persons who were associated with jws from neutral subjects to outright warmongers, especially those who used to profess brotherhood with christ.
while everyone is entitled to their opinions on matters of world politics, but to foster and promote bloodshed and destruction in the name of peace and pre-emptive defense runs jarringly against the grain of anything called christian.. .

had the usa known in advance that the wtc was going to be attacked, we could and should have taken preemptive action.
there was some 'fuzzy' knowledge that this might happen, but not enough to know the day or hour.
yet, we still could have should have done more to prepare.. we could wait until saddam hussein completes his weapons program, and then nukes a few cities to decide we have enough evidence on hand to go after him.
I would like to compliment all on a truly civil, informative debate. Good points made all around!

"Could it be that they are under oppresive regimes and ruled by m egalomanical despots.."
BINGO!

Historically, there is a point to be made. Jews do have a claim, a very old and historic claim. The time between 70AD and the late 1800's, as history shows, the land was desolate and mostly uninhabited. The Jews, who set out to rebuild the area, brought prosperity to the land.
Citizenship was offered and some took advantage and are now full citizens. If ever there was a case to restore a displaced people, then Israel has a good case too.
I agree the situation is a human tragedy...........

Simon, I respectfully part company with your viewpoint on "who was there first. Hope this information helps:
The Real history is, that until the defeat of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in World War I, there was no such geopolitical entity called Palestine, no Arab state ever lived on this soil, and no National claim was ever made to that Country by any group, other than the Jews!
Who was the first "king" or "president" or "dictator" of Arab Palestine?? (If you say Arafat, then you admit that their history is very short). |
What was their national anthem? | |
What was their national flower? |
95 percent of the Palestinians in Israel today, came from Egypt and Syria in the late 1800s. | |
Before 1948, Palestinians referred to themselves as greater Syrian Arabs. | |
The Palestinians never held sovereignty over any land before 1948. | |
To make it very simple, Please tell me one Palestinian President before 1948. |

the u.s.a. should have taken saddam husseim out of business when it was right to do it.
they had to play their stupid international chess game thinking saddam was usefull to keep a political balance in the region.. it has happened over and over again in u.s.a. history.
the stupid cowboys running the white house always end up fighting the criminals they were in bed with before, or they tolerated for political reasons.. take for instance nicaragua.
Are all the other nations you list are spelled the same way in your language? Just trying to learn!

If we could help transform Japan and Germany after WWII, we can Iraq.

"Stop backing terrorists themselves and turning a blind eye to what Isreal does"
What does "Israel do" except to claim what has been theirs for thousands of years.
What was the so called Palestinians called before 1943? "The Greater Syrian Arabs."
Today, these Palestinians are not allowed to mingle with their own arab brothers in Lebanon or other Arab countries
What hypocrisy!
On the other hand, Israel has provided jobs and citizenship to all who could apply when they became a State.

""I was watching something on the TV last night and it was referring to the unprovoked attack of a US back Israel on Palestine. They said that about 16,000 innocent men, women and children were killed. """
Proof? I did not think so.........
