.....so...because one side is shooting missiles that are not super destructive, its okay and the other side cant use high tech fighter planes....


seriously, ill be all the happier when all the people in the middle east end up blowing eachother up. once one side goes too far, and a major power uses its force.....yea they are ash piles.

Yep shooting ****ty rockets VS killing over a hundred innocent people.

Well it's not like they are shooting less advanced missiles to lower the death toll... You shoot rockets at a place they are going to fight back. You attack a world power and they will drop a bunch of advanced bombs and aerial strikes on you...  

Fighting is bad, no matter what the circumstances. Defending yourself to an extent is okay, I think, but you should never just continue it. You should at least try to bring peace.

In this case, I don't really understand what's going on. So, Israel and Palestine have been fighting for quite a while, over land, right? Like, since WW1? And the US are funding Israel?  

I don't care unless Hamas starts causing trouble at my country's borders.  

Americans are such hypocrites lol.
"OMG THEY SHOULD NOT BE TAKING OTHER PEOPLES LAND!"

Okay US History time
-Christopher Columbus "discovers" America.
-The "white man" takes land from the Natives
that in itself just makes any american who's only thought is "taking land is bad" a hypocrite if you like living here.
not to mention the going to Africa and getting slaves part of American history as well.

Later on, the Rebels fight off the Red Coats, taking land from the British in the name of America.

Fighting in my opinion is dumb. Why should people die fighting for something they will never see because they are dead? People just cant be civilized and talk it out and share like in kindergarten. I guess in their point of view however, they die for something they believe in. Would rather die for a cause than be a lost one.

Also if you are saying you don't care about this war, you are an idiot. This WILL affect you in the long run because whoever has control over that part of the world has control of most of our foreign oil. I dunno about you but I'd rather not be paying $8 a gallon. Also allies of the US could get involved which may force our hand to lend military support may it be guns or man, adding more bloodshed to our names. But yknow, we sit here in our houses and beds at night, and not give a **** about the people living off eating rodents and sleeping in the mud thinking that is something called comfortable.

All in all, I hate the American way of thinking, I hate war, and I hate being old enough to understand that these too are people, who fight for something they believe in, like George Washington or MLK fought for freedom.

I don't pick a side in this war however.  

Palestine. Israel were granted a piece of land and now they want more. Seriously.
Also, Palestine are fighting with machine guns and rifles while Israel are using tanks and rockets obviously from America.
That's just my view, of course.  

But Palestine shouldn't attack them with their weak rockets then get owned and complain in the first place.  

Neither should've attacked in the first place, it's just a silly piece of land. People shouldn't need to die over such a stupid conflict.

Could someone answer this please? I want to make sure I actually know what's happening before I post my opinion. Also I'd use google but I think hearing it from actual people would be better.  

I don't really like israel personally, it kills us Christians in my country.
It also burned up the KFC =[

The U.S. is apart of the UN and is only one of the backers of Israel. They are not alone in this situation therefore they shouldn't take all the hate. The U.S. is not backing Israel over land simply it's defense. Not sure where the idea of land and the U.S. came from. I agree my country has a bad history on land claims, and will always be hated there, but that is what man does. Since the idea that a stone could strike one down. Slaves were also in the business before America was established and after. We even fought a civil war indirectly over it and lost over 600,000 lives over this. Had we not fought a civil war our nation may still be divided over slavery. Had we not fought for independence the UK may have continued it's expansion. Had we not continued west, then another superpower would have in our place, had we not fought in WWI then more European lives would have been lost, had we not fought in WWII then Europe may have fallen to Germany. The only war I disapprove of is Vietnam and the extension of our current fighting in the Middle East. There is more history to your lesson than you think.

I pretty much agree with everything you said there apart from the last 2 points. Even though I'm not American I still support the Vietnam war. It was an oppurtunity to stop the spread of communism and to stop a tyrant seizing power there. Also currently the public of many large countries are saying we should help improve lives for people in the Middle East but disaprove of the wars. These wars are the only way to secure a future for those people and make sure tyrants and extremeists don't get power.

Back on the topic of Israel and Palestine, I think it's hard to say you support one side here. I personally support Israel because I believe they have a stronger argument. But thats just my opinion and I'm not an expert on this topic.

You say Israel has a stronger argument. What is Israel's argument to you?  

Hahahaha!!! All you ignorant fools don't know a damn thing your saying. Such a useless 3rd person bystander discussion going on. Only person who is really being truthful to themselves is Rexx for admitting that he doesn't care because he's not a part of it.
