The War of Ideas in the Middle East
what's wrong with cherry tomatoes? it's awesome, I eat some everyday
I see everything 'up-close', they were using big knives from the boats' storage, because they knew the soldiers will come to their ships.
How did they know you ask? Because the Israeli army offered them to go to Ashdod so they can check if everything OK with the ships (no bombs getting sent to gaza or anything) and the "peace activists" didn't want to, so Israel had to check that the ships don't send bombs and missiles to Gaza, right??
And just know, that the ships were about to send Gaza 1/8 of what ISRAEL give to gaza EVERY DAY, so yeah... There were probably weapons on the ships...
And now tell me, back in '47, if you were a Jewish governor, let me remind you that your people have no country for 2000 years, a terrible holocaust just happened and your people almost got destroyed forever, what would you do??? I would like to hear...
Now, before I finish, I just hope you're just anti-Zionist and not anti-Semitc, because let me remind you of what the Jewish nation invented... The atomic thing, the cellphone, the electric trains, the computers, the dynamite (for mines), many medicines, jeans, remote, Genetic Engineering, Google and even Hollywood so... I don't think Jews are that bad...
So yeah, that's a bit of what I had to say so far.
Peace, and greetings from me,
A Political - Neutral - Atheist.
to clear*
I have no clear some things.
First of all, the Israeli navy was totally over-reacting!!! Killing people like that is not murdering, as it's self-defense, but it sure is an international crime.
On the other side, what the hell kind of peace activists carry knives, guns and petrol bombs? The both sides are guilty, stop accusing Israel because Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian organizations do crimes EVERY SINGLE DAY and the world says NOTHING about it, just like the Darfur genocide. It's easy for you to accuse a modern state, a country, while there's poor Gaza, and I really feel sorry for those people but... Seriously... They have chosen Hamas to rule Gaza in the first place, and see what they've got?
And here's something I bet you don't know, there were voting at the United Nations back in 1947, and they voted for 2 states : Palestine and Israel. The idea was approved, by 33 countries' agreement, and the Palestinian people DIDN'T WANT TO.
So please, I'm against Israel's war crimes, but... STOP THINKING THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE ARE SO NAIVE!!! THERE ARE 1 BILLION ARABS IN THE WORLD AND ONLY 13 MILION JEWS SO LEAVE THEM ALONE!
