Hi Terry,

I have been reading your messages with growing amazement at your opinions. However, in this particular message, I do agree (and disagree) with some of your points:


Lets have a contest - you against me. You get RPG's and NO UN support. I get M1 Tanks, Apachies,Catepillar K9 Bull Dozers (to creme your house), Hell Fire Missels and a US veto.


Let's be fair, all sides are perpetuating the violence. As soon as one side stops, the other starts up again. There is no innocent side in this one anylonger if there ever was. A person can get killed just as easy with any of those weapons.


You come to my neigborhood (from the UK) with claims that some mythology gives you rights to property owned by me and my neighbors - and the strength of your argument will tested.


This I have to agree with. I'm not sure the Jews should have received their own land, regardless of who originated there first (afterall, that in itself is debateable). I think they should have been integrated into their birth countries instead and given equal rights and equal treatment. Afterall, do we give the U.S. back to the Native Americans? What about all of the Americans that were brought to this country as indentured servants? Do they get to return to their country of birth and get free land that has now been in the hands of others? What about all of those slaves that came to our country (and others as well)? Do they get to return to their country of birth and get their lands returned to them? Where does it stop? Land has changed ownership and countries have changed governments too many times to start compensating every human being for every displacement. I only touched on those situations that apply to the U.S. but there are centuries of this in other parts of the world throughout history.



Jews have been living in Palestine for 1000s of years! Understand, There are Palestinian Jews. As well as Palestenian Christians (remeber the IDF in Bethlehem?). Palestinians are a true semetic culture. They are the indiginous people. Why do the Israelis we see on TV look so European? So fair skinned - many are from the US!

In fact, the last five years of strife began when a guy from New Jersey, walked into a mosque, in occupied Palestine, with machine guns and grenades and killed about 20 men, women and children. I think his name was Horowitz - you google it!


I find this hard to believe. He may have been an instigator but I doubt the entire last 5 years are solely due to him and his actions.



Israel received enough aid last year to fully fund the budgets of several states. And, as I said yesterday, for the last week, an average of one Palestenian/ hour has lost their life. These weren't militants. They were children that Israeli Apache pilots could not see because the walls of ghetto they were forced to live in prevented visual confirmation. Children=Collateral Damage!


This I agree with entirely. Yet Palestinians are killing innocent children too. It is wrong and abhorrent, but it is happening on both sides.
