The Middle East has been a seed for conflict and war for so long it surprises me that the world still pays attention. If not for religion, maybe it wouldn't. I once told a believer that the world would be better off if the middle east did not exist, but I suppose that would mean that we would simply find something else to fight over. I don't hate Israel, I don't hate Palestine. I do wish we would stop giving money to the region, it only seems to fan the flames. These people have been fighting forever.

“Region of Unlimited Unstoppable Religious War”

Your theistic relatives are not the only enablers of this tragedy. There are many nonreligious jews that are fanatical supporters of Israel as well. Tribalism is as much to blame as religion – same coin, two sides.

Religion is the codification of racism and tribalism.

After all, this was all supposed to stop when Israel withdrew from the so called “occupied territory”…

Iran (supporter of Hezbollah) declares Israel a cancer and needs to be driven into the sea…and the world does nothing.

I’ll tell you what, you start throwing bombs over my fence, faith or no faith, I’m going to protect my family…

Of course, I remember AA stating the same when Russia invaded Georgia…and of course, no religion was involved….

Hatred is hatred. There’s no difference between Dave and Alex hating the Jews and the Palestinians hating the Jews…

So tell me, exactly how is a-THEISM any different then Theism…?

The jews have been systematically exterminating the Palestinians for sixty years and yet there are people stupid enough to think that they wont fight back. The Arabs have every right to fight back against the greedy land grabbing jews who stole their land and treat them like animals. Thankfully the world is wising up to the game of manipulation and exaggeration of the Holocaust to win the worlds sympathy to the side of the jews. Europe has seen a huge upswing in anti israel sentiment and the dumbed down Americans seem to finally be overcoming their zionist conditioning and opening their eyes too.

Ah yes…its ok for Hezbollah to launch over 200 missiles into Israel.

Hamas is alleged to have launched those missiles dumb ass.

More from the town idiot:
