Democracy For Palestinians

[terbang]

Hamas Have just been democraticly voted into power by the Palestinian's. Wow Isn't that absolutely wonderful news for George Bush as it backs up his reason to now be at war in Iraq. I mean thousands of American soldiers have now died in Iraq in the name of democracy and the Palestinians have done it without American intervention.
I can hardly wait to hear the jubilation coming from the USA about the Palestinians having made thier own democratic decision...
Yeah Right..

[Jantar]

Remember that part of the reason that USA went into Iraq was to keep Israel out of the conflict. I expect that if the Palestinians chose to attack Israel that USA would now step back and allow Israel to respond.

The M.E stands a strong chance of going 'nuts' shortly....maybe its the sun. The collective logic of countries in this region is hard to fathom, the importance internationally of oil means unfortunately the west will be forced to step in....although as SARGE mentions walling the place off till all the toys and people are destroyed whilst a great idea is unlikely to happen....more western money wasted and troops will die for their stupidity.

Just a quick correction:

When you are talking about Palestinian and Israelis, they are essentially the same people. Thus, it is not racism but only mere political debate since the essence in the issue is based on nations or political affiliations.

You can keep the debacle going, you're not being racist.

I realise this might be straying off at a tangent, but why shouldn't we be allowed to discriminate on the basis of religion?

Race, I understand, it's an accident of birth. Religion on the other hand is a " freely" taken choice to follow a certain set of beliefs. I should therefore be quite able to say, for instance, that "Religion A" which advocates holy war against non believers, is a cancer that should be cut out for the good of the body as a whole.

You should be allowed to debate religion, but not discriminate. Actually, we should not discriminate anyone based on anything (ideal situation).

This is more true to major religions of the world (moslem, christianity, budhism, hinduism, etc) which, for most part, have similarities in teaching good values.
Daily interpretations, however, involve extremism from all parts. There are extremists from all religions, and these are the ones we need to stay away.

When you start discriminating a particular religion, you have become an extremist of your own religion and thus have become the same as the people you are discriminating against.

Debating country policies, however, is different from discriminating.

uh........sorry for straying off the topic

same reason we cant discriminate against the gays, vegans, hip-hoppers, greenies, boi-racers or NZ Idol fans..it might hurt thier feelings..

where will we bury all the X-tians? Organized religion is a crock of shit. read your bible, great; believe in god.. also great...

let someone tell you how to think, what to believe, and how to live.. bullshit.. the weaker the mind, the stronger the religion.

if whatever Gawd you believe in is Omnipotent, why do we all have to meet in a certain place , at a certain time to pray/ sing/ bow/ wank in his honor? cant he come over to US?


oh... right .. cuz if he did, he wouldnt be able to collect the money... Gawd needs a shitload of cash apparently so Brian Tamaki can ride a road rage custom and drive a Lotus

I'm no supporter of Israel anymore, but 6,000,000 plus dead Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals and the hadicapped should never be forgotten.
It shows what ordinary people are capable of, people like us.
