Right, so why should I care if the Palestinians are also forgotten. It is their problem, not mine.

We are part of the animal kingdom. I am with the environmentalists on this one. Everyone should protect the earth and the process. In the animal kingdom it is survival of the fittest. Let's make our moves while we are still the most fit. |

Well they aren't are they. Just curious, how do you pick and choose who you have a bleeding heart for and who you are going to save. Myself, I pick first who is more important to my needs. It is kind of like what they tell you on the airplane. Put the air mask on yourself first. |

It isn't I who is not having a serious conversation here. "Taking sides" would be too strong a phrase for my support for Israel. I acknowledge atrocities and violations on both sides, though I don't think they are necessarily equivalent. I'm also a pragmatist when it comes to solutions. I don't think much of people on idealistic crusades (see: Right of Return).

You should watch the English news on Saudi TV. They never mention "Israel" or "Israeli" without it being preceded by "Enemy". Unless things have changed in the last 15 years, which I doubt.

Many Palestinians voluntarily left their homes in anticipation of the Arab invasion that would crush the infant Israeli nation only to find out they picked the wrong side of that fight.
