The Israeli/Palestenian conflict poll question.

I voted Israel, but it was a bit of a tough call, but without American backing they would have to behave better.

 

That's a big generalization, but then I don't expect anything too valid from you regarding the middle east. No offense but Ive seen your past posts on these subjects lol...

I say Israel just because they're the bullies if you look at it in the objective way.

 

What do you think would happen (hypothetically) if the roles were reversed right now (if the Palestinians had all the weapons and power and the Israelis were in the position the Palestinians are in right now)?

 

then I would say it's the Palestinians fault.

 

I mean - what do you think would the Palestinians do with the Israelis if the balance of power was the opposite of what it is now?

 

Do you know how annoying it is when you ask these detailed questions looking for very specific answers? This thread isn't about what would happen if the situation was the opposite of what it is now. Quit trying to flip it the other way.

Sometimes you remind me of Dirk Nowitzki's face.

 

So you are displaying your anger, while avoiding to answer the question.

I know why you avoid answering the question.

Because if you had to answer it truthfully, you know what the answer would be.

It's much easier for you and others like you to keep hating Israel and assign blame to them when you don't have to answer truthfully what would happen if the roles were reversed.

We all know that if Israel had no power at all, they would be treated much worse than the Palestinians are being treated now by the Israelis.

That's relevant to the thread.

 

You never asked me any question to begin with, hence I didn't avoid answering any question.

Did you seriously read my post in an angry tone? Your bias is showing.

 

Please answer the question, I am asking you now.

 

So you agree that the Israelis are treating the Palestinians badly?

 

I don't think anyone can accurately answer that question. It's going to be opinionated. How can you tell for a fact that Palestinians would treat the Israelis worse?

Yes, I would like to have that option as well.

 

Wowwwwwwwwww did you catch all the cut-aways? For all you know some of those things at the end he was quoting from other people and was making a point to NOT do those things.

 

Are you seriously defending this guy?

Then the US would jump in give them money/military stuff (like they did in the past when Israel was first created...).

Which is why I have a problem with the US in its involvement. you cant force out people and then expect them to not hate you. You wonder why all of the middle east hates us; its not because were christian or because theyre muslim and are some crazy radical religious group as some media in the Us have portrayed them, its because we pulled this stunt off so many years ago.

 

You are evading the question. In the hypothetical, assume that neither the US nor the other Arab countries would intervene under any circumstances, and the Palestinians would know this.

You don't think they would treat the Israelis at least equally to how the Israelis are treating the Palestinians right now, and, most probably, much, much worse?

 

Well yeah, Israelis came into their land and pretty much took it. If somebody took something VERY VALUABLE that had belonged to you for several hundreds of years, wouldn't you be pissed and do anything to try to get it back? I don't get it. You take land away from Palestine with a UN vote with no regard for Arab nations' opinions. Then you try to spin it as if their aggression towards Jews is unwarranted and let that justify Israel's oppression.
