History of the modern Israeli-Arab conflict in 11 min.

H/T to FreeNorthCarolina.blogspot.com




Well done video, historically accurate as far as my reading of the conflict, although very unfavorable to the Pals. Poor and oppressed as they may be, they lie in a bed they and their leaders made for themselves.

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.--Golda Meir

  1. and we should care about this why? Let them fight their own battles, with their own weapons. American youth will be sucked into endless wars because of our Israeli "allies"

    No more aid. No more weapons.

    Commerce with all, allied to none...

  2. Agree. Disentangle and trade. Stop foreign aid to Egypt and Israel. Take care of ourselves.

    I posted because I thought it was a good counterpoint to the Palestinian propaganda, which is all you will hear and see on the MSM.

    I am much more sympathetic to the Israelis, as is obvious. I think the Libertarian leaning crowd is too hard on them. They are in a bad situation that is hard to make better--the other side has a goal,which is to end the Jewish state, and the Palestinians have what I call "transgenerational" patience to get the job done.

    The Israeli government sucks. The Israeli ROE sucks. Israel has been in a no win situation since the late 80's. If they do nothing, they are bombarded from Gaza. If they intervene, even though they have a right and duty to protect citizens, they make enemies at home and abroad.

    Anyone who cares about the conflict should make sure they understand both sides well.

  3. Yes. I understand your point, though I would contend that the Pro-Israeli lobby (over the long term) has enjoyed a much more favorable treatment from the good ole MSM.

    In any case, for me it matters not. There are 50 countries in this world that you could say the same thing for. Are we to police them all?

    All things stem from one another. They are not isolated instances. Our country runs on debt. Debt comes from Wars. Wars come from alliances. To hell with them all I say.

  4. Commerce with all, alliances with none.

    No nation to nation welfare or bribes. Let individuals decide to give charity, if they want. The .gov gives our money away without any consultation.

    I agree with you.

    No lobbies.

    A very small federal government would disincentivize lobby groups from forming in the first place. I think the founding generation knew that.

  5. I am a muslim and no I did not behave like any of those that you describe.. We know some of you really scared by muslim bombing and fighting but those people are not a true muslim ... Yes we are indeed thaugt to fight for our religion but our prophet has said that islam is not a religion that pushing people to convert into it..we allow any people pray they own way ... We allow freedom .. We will always pick freedom over war.. And war is strictly prohibted by our religion except if we fight to protect our religion,coutry and even whats belong so please stop pushing us .. Please those who threat you without you even did anything to them shall not be neither called nor considered as muslim .. Those people has confused of the term "Jihad" mean. As I was saying , my religion will not push anyone to convert into this religion because our religion cares about freedom and will not splat any blood if the same thing did not happened to us... We also taught to be nice to anyone whitout caring about their religion,race,power,status and even race .... So I will stand against this misbelief we have so that we can all become family once again
