The Middle East Conflict

I used to fully support the Palestinians a couple of years back, but as I grow older and learn from life I realise that I can't support neither Israel nor Palestine. Because as soon as a palestinian terrorist blows something up in Israel, Israel blows something up in Palestine, or even occupies parts of it. The only effect that has is negative, since more Palestinians will blow things up in Israel, and Israel will blow more stuff up in Palestine, and so it continues for, it seems to me, an eternity. It's a catch 22 situation.

The actual problem is not that the Palestinians blows stuff up in Israel, or that Israel blows stuff up in Palestine, the problem is that neither of them are willing to get together and try to solve the situation through diplomacy. Therefore I didn't vote in this poll.

Wow I find it surprising that more people here support the Arabs than the Jews. As an American citizen and a Christian naturally I am more sympathetic to the Jews. So you mean to tell me you support Iran, Iraq, Palestine (whatever that is), Syria and all the other Arab nations that breed and sponsor terrorism? Israel has for years compromised and traded their land off in the name of peace. For 2000 years the Jewish people have had no place to call home and all they ask for is one little bitty strip of land, yet they are continually persecuted and made to look like the bad guy. I think they are finally fed up and decided they are not taking sh*t off these people anymore. I know all Arab people are not terrorists and I am not a racist, but lets be realistic.

I don't support either.
