I would never speak for Sophie, (couldn't be so eloquent even if I tried) but I suspect she is speaking of references of the Bible and the Jews entitlement to the area.

Well, I don't claim to be "devoutly" religious though I do talk to God several times a day. ;) I'm the last one to want to turn guns on anyone. I want all guns banned, (and weapons for that matter) even for armies. Heck! Let countries just throw rocks at each other. :)
Thats not a bad idea....Quote:

Unless you have explicitly said that either side "deserves" what is happening to them or should be targeted, I'm obviously not talking about you. But the statements have been posted here, and it only takes a quick read to see them.
I don't think any one person said any one side "deserves" what is happening to them. There are certain view points, but that's each person's opinion. I don't think anyone deserves anything bad that has happened when it comes to innocents. If you're radical and you're going to start things, you have to expect things to come back to bite you in the butt. Also, if you start things and blame the other side for whatever, and of course never take responsibility (sorry, but Israel does that all the time... they are never responsible for any of the horrible things they do, it's always someone else's fault).
Still, you want to point fingers and say someone said whatever, just say who or what you mean, instead of saying "read and you'll see". Not saying it is just kinda, well, wimpy. At least then who ever it is can defend whatever it is you think they said.
Actually, no, I don't.Quote:

I'd bet again, you didn't research the Bahá'í faith, Gnosticism or Jainism.
I'm not saying this in and of itself is wrong. It's human nature. We gravitate towards what we know. If I want to buy a new car, I pick from the choices that I am familar with, that my friends and family own, and are readily available in my area. I choose between a Chevy and a Toyota ... I don't even think about a Tata, a Izmash or a Yulon. It's the same with religion ... when basically non-religious people decide to become religious, they almost always choose the religion of their family, friends or country. Not always, there are exceptions ... that's why I did not say "100%" in my original post. But it's incredibly rare that an American decides to start practicing Kharijite, Sikhism, or iAyyavazhi nstead of Christianity.

Jenn_librarian, I already have quoted and pointed it out as have several others. It's not that obscure :confused:
Found this on another board, source and full text here, Link.

Palestinians are the newest of all the peoples on the face of the Earth, and began to exist in a single day by a kind of supernatural phenomenon that is unique in the whole history of mankind, as it is witnessed by Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist that acknowledged the lie he was fighting for and the truth he was fighting against:
“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?”
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag”.
“When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out”.
Sorry, forgot the link.Quote:
No one (Arab or Jew) has a "right of return". Jews who fled Arab persecution from 1948 to 1956 should have no right of return to Arab lands, and Arabs who ran away in 1948 and 1967 should have no right of return either. This should end all argument. Yet the Jews accept this judgment, while the Arabs reject EVERYTHING. - Walid Shoebat
