    That should simply demonstrate that Israel is a very tolerant society.

    more like anti crooks. if they're the largest lot it's not personal. Unless they trash the economy or something similar.
    But at least you agree most banks are run by jewish types.

    The religious zealots believe that the Jews were chosen by God. They have happy religious stories about the Israelites/Jews and believe stories about the Rapture where the apocalypse is coming soon and Jesus will return to take the faithful away. Israel factors into these stories and so Israel is good and anyone against Israel is "SATAN"

    I guess the OP is not going to answer my inquiry to him in post #49. You started this thread, why not finish it with perhaps some answers to this age old questions? Why does Hamas and every other terror group hide behind women and children?

    I don't know about all Americans. Me? I have Jewish friends and demands that Israel cease to exist and Jews be annihilated are simply offensive. I get tired of liberals who can't say the word "jew" without the word "(*)(*)(*)(*)ing" in front of it.

    Dear Jenjen, I believe the US and Saudi Arabia support the extremists. We could see where Al-Qaeda and Daesh were trained and started being shaped.

    No, I am not embarrassed. How Hamas operate is entirely up to them. But we are getting off-topic.

    By the way, I don't recall IRA terrorists hiding behind women and children.

    I love it when the leftists pretend that the violent terrorists are totally independent and not associated with them in any way. It's a lie but it's one you hear whenever the blood flows. How Hamas operates is up to them, say the leftists. How the anarchists operate is up to them, say the OWS nitwits. I live in Oaxaca, Mexico, and in 2006 when the leftists were running amok I would stand and watched the students arriving at the staging area for a march with stolen shopping carts full of rocks and gasoline bombs. The unionists and communists would cheer and clap. Then when buses had been burned and homes burned and public buildings burned the unionists and the communists were shocked, shocked mind you, at what those horrible students had done.

    As for the IRA, I do remember. I remember see women and children in the forefront throwing stones at the soldiers. I also recall that when the IRA bombed the shopping mall, obviously targeting women and children, they lost support from normal people. They kept the leftists, of course.

    I said other,
    The first reason is that Israel at least pays lip service to being our ally. The other countries are openly hostile to our objectives so why support them? The Palestinians are not friendly to our goals so why help them?

    The second reason is that we had a hand in the creation of the Jewish state so we do have a small obligation

    Third even though no one mentions it Israel is a Nuclear power and the Palestinians controlling nuclear technology does not sound like a good thing for anyone.

    In the end there are only really two options for Israel either both sides come together and work things out so that they can live as equals and in peace. Or do what we did when we took the land from the Native Americans, force them all out of the country and kill those that resist. For the record I hope they choose option one but I am afraid they will be forced into option two by the leaders and hot heads on both sides.

    It still only takes one to make a war but it takes two to make a peace. As long as one side demands the other side die, there will not be peace.

    The muslims are hell bent on spreading Sharia Law throughout the world. They do not respect western culture, they want to destroy it. There is no negotiating with muslims, they are religious zealots and terrorists.

    I absolutely agree. And I do not approve. It's disgusting and dangerous. Our govt has been up to that kind of crap with Muslim extremists forever. We arm them, help them overthrow their democratically elected govts, and install a theocratic dictatorship/monarchy. It's like a CIA trademark. And it is continuing... See Syria.

    How could that be stopped? American people, in general I think, are either ill informed or believe the propaganda that justifies our involvement. It's not like they admit to the manipulation. Afghanistan, Iran, now Syria are just a few. Americans need to wake up to this.


    My answer was why I believe the average American citizen sides with Israel. None of that changes the fact that Muslim extremists are dangerous and threaten our way of life. And we see Israelis as similar, but surrounded by that "type".

    I don't deny that there are some people who believe this. But I tend to think its a very small minority. I personally believe its crazy and it scares me as much as the Muslims extremists.

    Religious nut jobs, zealots, of any flavor are dangerous to society, a free society.

    It is NOT off topic. You want reasons that YOU ask for and now ya got em. Surely you must be embarrassed or at least somewhat shameful that hamas puts civilians on top of buildings or around target perimeters without a means of escape I might add, to show the west how their tactics have resulted in civilian deaths. Surely this must scrap your gall that it may be YOUR uncle recruited to stand over a known target, does it not? If it doesn't, then you need to go enlist in the hamas or hezbollah "fighters".

    Remember, hamas buys rockets and mortars before food and fuel for its civilians.

    The number of "religious nut jobs" in the US who believe that Noah landed the boat roughly 2100-2400 BC after a global flood that wiped out all humanity.

    The number of US citizens who believe this might shock you. 42% according to a recent gallop pole. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/02/creationism-america-survey_n_5434107.html

    This is far from a small minority. This is enough to elect a President were one able to get all to vote.

    The belief in Noah, the prophet, and the story is something that we just don't know about. The religious theories do not prove being either nut or sane. They are mostly the ideas we inherit from our ancestors and we cannot approve or disapprove of scientifically. They are just thoughts and stuff. We'd better leave them behind the door of discussion. Religious people are usually more faithful and trusted however because they believe more on something which is not measured by sole benefits. There are some superstitions that are added to religions all during the history in different religions though. We are supposed not to ignore the rational facts. Noah's cannot be proved or denied. But the Israeli regime trespassing the Palestinian border and making settlement can be watched. Banning the media and killing innocent people in hospital furthermore...

    I am a Muslim and I do not persist in spreading. I do respect the western culture, and I support the basis of it and I want it to refer to its initial basis like respecting all people, making free talks for all races and beliefs, and respecting all religions. And I do not resent your statement because we Muslims believe that we are from one mother and one father. That saying was due to not seeing us, but just hearing of.

    Most Americans respect Muslims. If they didn't gas stations and quick-stop markets would not be run and owned by them all over the U.S. The problem is the radical element within your ranks and their apparent lack of humanity toward anyone who doesn't believe as they do.

    1. The other religions have radical elements as well.
    2. Most respectfully I want to say it again, the radical elements within Muslims like Al-Qaeda are originated and raised in the US and Saudi Arabia.
