Can you get me statistics from a reliable sorce showing the amount of innocent deaths Israel inflicted?
if you read my previous post, i have a link to an amnesty international article. it tells you how many deaths both sides have. but i think it might only be in the recent year or something similar.
It states that since 2008 1400 palestines have been killed. I would like something from 2000 - 2010 because i want to see stastics before the Gaza war too.
here is a UN site:http://unispal.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0/BE07C80CDA4579468525734800500272 here is a bbc news site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3694350.stm
i didn't say that they were right. i'm saying that obviously their method is extremely innappropriate. not only is it not working but it's killing tons of innocent people.
Well, I go to a boarding school, with a decent amount of international students, and the Arabs/Muslims just happen to stick out. They don't talk about religion often...for somewhat obvious reasons, but it is interesting when they do
I don't see how there method is innappropriate at all. What would you do if you were in their situation? And that article just states that 4x more Arabs died then Israelies and that the Israelies are dieing in an illegal way (Suicide bombings, missles, etc.) If the arab countries could actually controll their citizens then we wouldn't even be in this situation.
gandhi was a smart guy when he said an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. i don't think that they shouldn't respond to attacks but it is quite obvious that they're method is not working because there hasn't been a resolution. also, the one non negotiable point that the palestinian president wants is to stop the spreading of israeli settlements. and you have to admit that when there is a war going on, maybe you shouldn't have your citizens spreading onto land that is still disputed.
And gandhi was killed. And there won't be a resolution as long as there are ignorant Muslim extremists. You expect this matter to go away quickly. It's going to take atleast fifty more years. Well Israel gave back part of the land but Palestine just wants more and more. Israelies are getting resless in this situation.

reason gandhi was killed: The assassin, Nathuram Godse, was a Hindu nationalist with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha. absolutely nothing to do with how right his views were. just because he was killed doesn't lessen the value of his views. but anyways, israel took land from palestine and it just kept taking more and more. how is that different from the fact that palestine wants some land. have you seen a map of what israel/palestine area looks like now? and how it was before? there is obvious non-negotiated encroachment of israelis onto land that they AGREED would be for the palestinians in the UN partition plan.
i'll just edit this and say something else. ummm.....i think that a very simplistic way to describe a plausible solution would be to give each side as much land as needed for the amount of people they had. its not fair if a million palestinians are squished in a small area and israelis are living on sprawling farm land. also, jerusalem definitely has to be a UN land area cause it is homeland not only to jewish people so it's unfair for it to be in the country that is called the homeland of the jewish people. and other stuff but yeah that should be the main focus. oops. accidently clicked quote and not edit. darnit.
I agree with iggypop about the land space/population. I can't say how many people live in each of those countries, but they should just divide it up according to population. But, that probably wouldn't work. :/ They'd find more reason to fight. It'd just be easier if two countries who dislike each other weren't in the same area. But, that's kind of obvious.
I feel that after the 9/11 incident, people have just started generalizing Muslims as terrorists. I happen to have 2 Muslim friends who are really nice! It really depends on the person though...if someone has a crappy personality it isnt cuz of their religion -__-
Being human Arab's are very kind, in business mostly muslim trying to fraud with other not only with non Muslims as well as they never forgive their religion brothers in this matter
What abput them? The muslims I know in my life are one of the most kind hearted, selfless, and honest person that I've ever met! They live by the teachings of the Quran really close so they do try to put the teachings of the Quran to their lives!
The only Arabs/Muslims that I am worried about are the ones who want to kill me along with the rest of the western world. So on the whole, I am worried about only a handful of people.
I watched a great Bollywood movie on this matter: My Name is Khan. I really enjoyed it and liked it a lot. A lot of views of Islam in today's society is highly inaccurate. The Christian church has done far worse shit than the Islamic religion. It's just people hate other people for not believing the same beliefs as them.
