Hello friend.

(I just swallowed a cream saver , it hurts)

Who should the US support, Israelis or Palestinians? And why?

Well-ll-lll... certain relatives I know of would say Israel because they're supposed to be God's chosen people or something, and thus we'd be staying on God's good side, heh. But while on one hand Israel has proven to be our staunch ally for so long, I think we ought to keep our noses clean and remain a mediator. This is THEIR silly religious war, and we don't belong in it. We could offer advice maybe, if asked. But I wouldn't go any further than that.

True. Israel was put there without askling the PAlestinians, so I feel for them. But the way they fight pisses me off and makes me side with the Israelis. But the way the Israelis occupy everything there is pissy too. I say we annex it and take out the bad guys.

Some would say, "Shoot 'em all and let God sort them out!"

I'm sticking with the Palestinian's on this one. They've been opressed for A LONG time by Isreal. I mean the situation for them sucks. I think its time for us to step in and finally tell Isreal to back off. I think if that happened a lot more things would be cleared up.

Yea, but Israel was at war the day it was created. They've been oppressed by all the arab countries, and then the you got Palestinians blowing up pizza parlors. I don't blame them for goign after the terrorists, but they aren't that nice to the innocent Palestinians, poor guys.

I really don't like either side. I suppose we're sort of obligated to support Israel, since the U.S. was one of the first countries to recognize it, but I think both sides are acting incredibly childish toward each other.

I do feel sorry for the Palestinians, who were basically robbed of their homeland, but they're trying to deal with the problem by blowing up women and children. That's not right. Both Jews and Palestinians beg for peace, but they talk revenge out of the other side of their mouths.

Here's a thought: If they keep on acting the way they do, they'll all have blown each other up and there'll be plenty of empty space out there...
