Have you spent anytime over there? These people do not have the same values as us. Liberals that think you can be nice and give in to their terror tactics for peace is mistaken. They percieve concessions as weakness. The only thing they understand is who has the biggest stick.

Why do conservatives always make ASSumptions about things that they do not have all the information about?
I do not hate Israel. I just to do not want to keep paying for their defense. Israel was placed there by UN mandate, despite the fact that other people were already living there. Anybody who thought that there would not be repercussions to that is a fool. Would you just say it's OK if the UN decided to take a chunk of your neighbourhood so that there could be a Romani homeland?
The Arabs were promised that land in exchange for their assistance during WW1. They provided the assistance and got the job done, and they were promptly screwed out of what they were promised by the French and the Brits.
I also never said that Hamas are not terrorists - some of them are, but so are many Israelis. Go look up Baruch Goldstein - he actually had a shrine at his grave site that right-wing nutjob Israelis could visit. And who do you think blew up the King David Hotel, and who held a plane full of Syrian civilians hostage after Israeli soldiers were captured inside Syria?
I have had work assignments all over the world (I'm up to about 45 countries now), but I actually had to work with the locals instead of just pointing a gun at them. If you don't have a confrontational relationship with them you might find that Arabs are very hospitable, and also have very strong family ties. They also do not like being told what to do, but then who does?
