Why reason and justice are on Israel's side
As yet another appalling suicide bombing takes place in Israel, killing 19 people and wounding dozens more on a bus packed with schoolchildren in Jerusalem - as Hamas claims credit for the massacre - America's policymakers still insist on seeking an "even-handed," diplomatic solution.
In the past 18 months, Israel's six million citizens have suffered 12,480 terrorist attacks. They have buried more than 400 victims - a per-capita death toll six times that of America on September 11. Yet, in an abhorrent act of injustice, Israel continues to be pressured by the United States into making concessions to Yasser Arafat, the archpatron of those terror attacks. In the long run, this means that Israel is being pressured into sacrificing its basic right to exist.
We should be supporting Israel's right to take whatever military action is needed to defend itself against its nihilistic enemies. Morally and militarily, Israel is America's frontline in the war on terrorism. If America is swayed by Arafat's latest empty rhetoric, and allows him to continue threatening Israel, our own campaign against terrorism becomes sheer hypocrisy and will, ultimately, fail.
Consider the facts and judge for yourself:
Israel has a right to what it can take and hold-just like the rest of us. There is no earthly arbiter of morality and justice which can or should deliver Israel's so-called "right to exist".
The idea that this "right" could flow from an abstract international "law" enforced by United Nations "resolutions" is an absurd left wing Zionist fantasy.
Hint to Israelis who are still flogging this dead horse: The Arabs aren't listening. They are laughing at you as they prepare to come and kill you all.
We occupy America the Beautiful from sea to shining sea because we fought like hell for it, moved mountains to create it, and exterminated those who stood in our way. And I'm glad we did, and proud of my ancestors.
If the Jews are going to stay in Israel, they must do the same.
Or die.
For another very good (and short) FReeper argument try this: "Moral Clarity" - By "My Identity"
Recognizing that none of us own anything here, but that we are merely passing through is admirable.
If You want to take credit from what others have done before us, then You must also accept blame.
The first people I know of to use chemical weapons were the ones who catapaulted dead bodies over the walls of their enemies to spread disease. After that it was us who gave blankets to the Indians that were cataminated with small pox to wipe them out.
Why aren't we raised to brag about good deeds? Is it because the people that use us to achieve more power, would lose?
Naw, that couldn't be, could it....
I assume you're talking about the European invasion of the Americas, but it's off the point of this thread.
Doesn't the Treaty from the Boar War still exist? Isn't that where the modern claim of ownership comes from?
There are contracts existing from centuries ago that prove who owns what, and who owes who and how much.
Why is this so hard to prove one way or the other?
