I might add, shortly afterward the soon to be israelis took over the area by force of arms, then declared a Jewish state. The United States recognized and supported Israel immediately, leaving nearly 1,300,000 Arabs in the area stammering in helpless rage. That is part of why they fly airplanes into buildings when they can manage it. Additionally, it was an affront to the entire Islamic world, which is one reason why they help support the flying of airplanes into buildings. If I were an Arab, I'd be mad as hell about it and doing the same thing.

We watch movies such as Sophie's Choice and The Diary of Anne Frank, and it's hard not to sympathize with the Jews and want them to have their own country. However, the Arabs don't think they should be the ones who should pay for the injustice of the concentration camps. Neither do Islamics like the high-handedness and the insulting way they are regarded.

I don't have a horse in this race. I am not a Jew. I regard Islam as having a 1,400 year history as an aggressive psychosis. I only call it as I see it.

Well, look. The original "Palestine" mandate covered the land that is now Jordan and Israel. Jordan for the Arab Palestinains and Israel for the Jewish Palestinians. Most of the Jews lived on the Israel part, most of the arabs on the Jordan part. The vast majority of the overall land was aloted to Jordan. This wasn't good enough for the arabs. They attacked Israel 2 days after getting thier own Arab Palestinan state. A war followed. Israel won the war. After wars fought over land end, population changes often occurr. In this case, the population change invovled an exchange of hundreds of thousands of Arab Palestinians to Egypt/Jordan/Syria in exchange from virtualy all of the Jews (also hundreds of thousands) from the arab countries into Israel. Then a strange thing happend. Egypt and Jordan and Syria refused to integerate their own people into their societies and brutally held them around in camps. I could go on with some more truthful history, but I'm not sure you're open to the truth.

Additionally, it was an affront to the entire Islamic world, which is one reason why they help support the flying of airplanes into buildings. If I were an Arab, I'd be mad as hell about it and doing the same thing.

Well, you are despicable then.

This admission on your part; that you would repay perceived grievances by murdering innocent men, women and children; disqualifies you from deserving any respect on this site whatsoever.

However, the Arabs don't think they should be the ones who should pay for the injustice of the concentration camps.

Why not??

Read a little history. The leadership of the Muslims before and during the war was viciously anti-semitic. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a Nazi collaborator to the max...

They were just as guilty as Hitler of the blood of the Jews.

Neither do Islamics like the high-handedness and the insulting way they are regarded.

Then maybe they should quit murdering, terrorizing and enslaving others.

Frankly, I am far past caring how they feel. They have attacked my country, murdered my fellow Americans, and then celebrated in the streets.

Scr*w em.

...leaving nearly 1,300,000 Arabs in the area stammering in helpless rage. That is part of why they fly airplanes into buildings when they can manage it

and it took over 50 years?

Exactly which Palestinian group hijacked US planes? Do you have more information than has been released? OBL is a SAUDI. Arafat is EGYPTIAN. It would seem that the arab "welfare whores" are the ones most upset and continue to incite the population.

Last I heard, Islamic groups in the US denounced the Assault on the WTC (although many support suicide bombing within Israel) and the Terrorist groups within Israel were "spared" the wrath of W partly because, among other things,they (a)were not international and (b)claimed no relationship to OBL

It would appear that, by your statement, it is the people you defend should be the next target of the US. I however would place the targetting laser on their leadership who have lead their own people down a path of self-destruction rather than live peacefully with their neighbors and enjoy whatever benefits they can EARN.

Certainly there is a dislike for the US, just like Israel, in part because of the successes we have enjoyed in each of our countries's short lifespans. But much of that dislike is fomented by religious leaders, educational institutions, and neighboring Arab countries that apparently would rather have this group of people die in squallor (or a suicide attack)than offer humanitarian support
