THE ISRAELI WAR: Should we help? I'm a little indecisive in this.....but i'm kinda leaning toward yes.
I'm not going to vote...i just want to hear your opinions on this.

I don't know much about the subject matter so...I can't really make a qualified vote...

that's ok.
basically, it a battle based on religion. I can't explain it very well.
sharrakor- 07-08-2006
Muslim vs. Judaism. does that explain it enough?
TheMercenary- 07-08-2006
that's most of the problem.
It goes deeper, i think. The Palistenians on the Gaza Strip claim that the land is theirs, while the Israelies claim that Jesus gave them the land after being freed from Egyptian slavery.....after all, it is called ''The Promised Land.''
It's something like that anyway.
sharrakor- 07-08-2006
yeah it's called the Promised Land but it's also known as the Holy Land.
It's called the Holy Land cuz it's the religious center of the world. All three major religions are represented there. Muslim, Christianity,and Judaism. And even tho Judaism only has .2 million followers(yes it's true, and it's really not that much when you think about it) it's still the religion that has had the biggest impact on world religion. so that's why the Crusades and all that happened with the Muslims takin over Jerusalem and the Christians and Jews trying to win it back.
So basically this fight is almost parallel to the Crusades except 600-800 years later.

Well, everybody duck and cover, Israel is now at war, and really upset. IT has started...
sharrakor- 07-15-2006
I see a major problem here. Normally, we would side with Israel but IDK now. cuz the terrorists control all our gas supply. If they cut it off gas prices will soar to prices twice as much as they usually are.
So I would say we should back out but it's too late to do that. so as much as it pains me to say this, in interest of our country, we should side with Iraq.
TheMercenary- 07-15-2006
Tell you the truth, gas is going to go up no matter what we do now. It's starting to reach $3 a gallon over here now, and the price of a barrel of crude oil just keeps increasing. So, no matter what our action is, they will just keep squeezing the money out of us.

We're already helping, we give BILLIONS of dollars to Israel to bomb the shit out of defenseless Palestinians who only have AK's versus Jet fighters, tanks, state of the art weaponry and artillery. Hmm, looks like we are fighting this through Israel.
sharrakor- 07-20-2006
ah but the question is should we be helping Israel not are we helping Israel. should and are=two different things...
rip- 07-20-2006
I get ya. But my answer would have to be no. Why? How can you help someone if they're the bully in the conflict.
sharrakor- 07-20-2006
yeah I'm still not sure which way to vote. In fact, I don't think I'll vote at all on this...
TheMercenary- 07-22-2006
If you're not sure, just vote ''I don't know''.
TheMercenary- 08-02-2006
All i know right now is that Israel is kicking Lebanon and Hezballa's @$$es
