News- no, it's propoganda

[mousepod]

I think there are points on both sides of the argument in this thread. However, there's a point that keeps being brought up that irks me a bit, and that's the idea that this is about "The Jews". Sorry, but just because Israel is a Jewish state doesn't mean that The Jews are the aggressors, or even defenders. Israel is. And the point that radical Islam is against The Jews is just not valid. They're against people who aren't them. When Al Qaeda was battling the Russians in Afghanistan, there wasn't a Jew to be found. When Algerian terrorists set off bombs in France (which they've done for decades), it's not to get rid of Jews or Americans. The cynical side of me could see their actions as some sort of warped Manifest Destiny. But that doesn't mean I see it as a justification of their actions. I'm not a fan of this US administrations tactics against terrorism or Israel's most recent approach in dealing with its enemies. But someone sure needs to do something. And walking away or "surrender" isn't the solution.

Just my two cents.

Carry on.
