Can somebody explain the most recent Israel/Palestine conflict?

[Edwina's Secretary]

It's absolutely ludicrous how folks who are so devoutly religious and who preach "love and justice" are so quick to turn the gun and endorse violence.

And I'm not even talking about the Middle East.

Amen! (and I won't even ask you to "back it up!")

I will. Who the heck are you referring too?

[jennielynn1970]

I was wondering that myself. I know I've never passed off myself as devoutly religous, in any way, so just wondering who she's talking about.

I don't think anyone here is "endorsing" violence, but there are some of us who can see why each side is acting the way they do, or feels they way they feel.

No one is endorsing the violence, or saying any kind of radical violence is correct.

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.

I think that's where this *war* thing started ...

The Cave Guys used to toss rocks to hunt ...
Then the knife ...
Then the knife onna pole (aka the Spear)
Developed into the BOW an Arrow ...
How bout an Arrow inna tube = the Blow Gun.
GUN??? What a neet idea!

Things have been goin downhill from there.

Richard's Rule of Life #5.


WHen you act stupidly, be prepared to be treated stupidly.

e.g.?
Launch a rocket at your neighbor's house. Be prepared to be treated the same way.


MOFF!

Don't get on my side by advocating rock throwing. The next thing you know is all the American baseball players will get drafted and play in Israel.


C&S....

You forgot the first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

You forgot the first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

The Boomerang!
