given what's constantly going on over there, why would you want to visit the beaches?

in that case, why aren't you offering any palestinians your house, or the land you live on? why is it supposed to be up to other arab countries to do this? why doesn't peru offer them a homeland? germany? australia?

That would be awesome, but of course it will never happen. I think it will take something big for the human race to wake the hell up and start realizing we are in this all together and more alike than different. I hate any kind of war, mostly I blame the world leaders, they play people like a chess game, and battle wits against each other over incent lives. It kills me to see babies and children blown to bits, I don’t think there is any justification for that, and the poor children growing up among conflict, death and poverty. It is always the haves and haves not, humans just seem to love war and kicking some ###.

You forgot to mention your "hate list" Oh shite I forget your love for humanity is selective!

I don't hate Bush and McCain, I just think they should be held accountable for things they have done. If I pulled some of the stunts they pulled my butt would be sitting in prison. It is time for them to step down and let someone else have a shot, you have to admit America is in a bit of a mess

Because they are... uhm... Arabs?

It's like asking "why does Ireland have a law of return that applies to grandchildren of Irish emigrants?" Because the Irish government considers the children and grandchildren of Irish emigrants as Irish? Why doesn't Peru offer them a homeland? Or Germany? Because they are Irish and not Peruvian or German?

Any more stupid questions, ta me go ####?

Well lets see now..... why is it supposed to be other Arab countries..............hummmmmmmmmmmmmm COULD IT BE

Because they are Arabs. HELLO............ they are not Peruvians............... they are not German................... nor are they Australian, South African, Italian, Japanese.... should I go on..........

OH..... and as for the the thought of offering my house or land to them.... sounds great for about a second, until they find out that I support Israel....

You're mixing up Ethicity and Nationality - not really the same. Thats kinda like saying that Russia has some sort of responsibility to take in all Slavs. Or that Spain is responsible for all Hispanics.

Or indeed that Israel is responsible for all Jews.

Russia does take in all Slavs from the former Soviet republics.

Israel *is* responsible for all Jews.

Humans always love to separate ourselves from other humans, based on race, religion, color of our skin. Maybe it is just the flaws that we are born with; it reminds me of the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. They all start out being equal, but gradually they start to separate. Before long we have conflict, one wonders if we will ever come together. Can’t have you live next to me, you look different and have different views, plus I was born here, my question, weren’t we all born on the planet earth and if you are born in a certain country, why does that make you have precedence over someone who was born across the ocean? Human nature is flawed and we must work on breaking down the barriers of race, religion, and nationality to be truly free.

Hmmm... That's not quite true though is it.

[mawilson 2,133]

Seriously?

You didn't know that any Jewish person - whether English, Polish or Moroccan - has the right to move to and settle in Israel and gain citizenship?

[zqt3344 21]

No Number 6 does not know that and will now try to spin it for you to deny that fact. Get ready.

The Law of Return isn't an automatic right - there is also some debate in Israel over whether or not the law should be changed - due to the importation of immigrant extremists.

Sure it is. If you're Jewish, you can go to Israel. They'll even give you some money to help you out.
