Peace be unto you,
Amcon.
Would you say that in the conflict in the 1800s between American settlers and the Native Americans that "both sides were equally wrong"? Or would you--like most reasonable people--agree that a greater share of the blame is on the colonial force? horrible that it happened... now what i will say is not liked by many people but i do believe it is one way that it was allowed by God(and for every one who may argue that they dont like a God that would allow this... get saved go to heaven and bring it up with him - what i will say is not in the bible) the establishment of usa was by God fearing christians - wanting to leave the mother country for many reasons FAITH being one of them, opportunity being another, freedom being another... the american indians were a heathenous people in need of salvation - man screwed it up and took advantage of them... i could go on and on about this - i live in the north east in a place that is central to many tribes even to this day they were put in bad places and treated less than fair - now they have been restored some land and made that land in to casinos, money drives the local tribes to use less than indian morles to live at this point. all my personal opinion.
I agree that the emotions are running high, and I apologize to you and
Prone2Rage for my contribution to that. Let's all breath deeply and discuss calmly, God-Willing. Thank you Amcon for taking the lead in that.
speak softly and carry a big stick ... o wait we are on the internet - forget that last statement - lol
agreed
I do not believe in flag burning myself. I think that Denmark has a nice law with regards to this: Danish law allows their people to burn the Danish flag, but forbid the burning of any other country's flag. If I was the leader of a country--and if it were in my power--I would forbid the burning of flags, especially if the flag had any religious symbols on it, such as the Israeli flag which has the star of David on it.
agreed
Nonetheless, the fact that I disagree with flag burning does not mean that I agree with anyone who automatically assumes that the guy in the picture must be a terrorist.
i acutally dont believe he is a professional terrorist - he is acting like one - i believe he probably had the day off from work and got into the mob mentality, and was punished for his actions
But I think the one thing that was very lacking in your post--despite the fact that you were trying to clarify your position--was your complete avoidance of the topic of American soldiers urinating on Qurans and flushing them down the toilet. Your silence on this issue really speaks to your bias.
true!!! that is very disrespectfull from soldiers from a country that was made to worship any way they want - true freedom... can you post a video of this or a pic - just to prove it - it is hard to believe
"Smuggle money" is just one way of wording it. The Palestinian money has been stolen by the American government (that is exactly what "freezes accounts" amounts to), and so they are simply bringing in money that is rightfully theirs. It's only "smuggling" because the oppressor forbids it.
they smuggled the wrong things for you to make that a valid argument... if they were smuggling food that would be dif. they are smuggling weapons... it maybe their money, but that would be like you and me getting mad that the dea or cops take our gear cause weather we like it or not it is not legal w use or posses it... weather they take our cash slotted for the gear or the actual gear.
As for your opposition to this, do you also oppose Israel when they smuggle weapons and military equipment into their country:

Do you also oppose America and Israel smuggling weapons as they did in the Iran-Contra Affair? Why all these double standards?
i would have to take a look at this not just at a glance to understand and comment with a better educated point. i believe that hamas is wrong for smuggling weapons in to gaza to shoot at istael under the idea of suppression of the people living in gaza. then come put and say the people of gaza are starving and need basic supplies - that is the whole reason why they will not get what they are looking for, they can not use force to ask for help, if they do they will get slapped and innocent people die
Do you oppose Israel sending spies to various countries of the world, including America?
no, i do not oppose this... i ran the country i would do more of the spy thing
Israel is run by terrorists. Many of the prime ministers of Israel were a part of or connected to Jewish terrorist groups such as Haganah, Stern Gang, Lehi, etc. The IDF was itself a terrorist organization--called the Haganah. So your rhetoric that "Palestine is run by terrorists" is a double-standard of the worst nature.
It doesn't even make sense. They received money from unnamed sources, which they were taking back to run their land. I don't see where bribery has anything to do with anything. But I think you will just continue to say things without proof as you usually do.
PLACE NOW - INSANITY
