Racial Profiling in airports

Actually turkey is your key to the Middle East. Also this cycle of violence does no good for Israel. Before you had a select number of fanatics, but now you see a increasing number of the general population joining the ranks.

Israel kills more Palestinians than Israelis are killed.

If people are willing to kill themselves to kill Israelis then Israel cannot be completely innocent.

Turkey, Jorden, Egypt, all good countries. We need to work with them.

Anytime a country occupies another counrty, its call an invasion and the world stands against it. Why is this not the case with Israel? America is cover with Jews in power position. Sorry if this offends anyone.

Well both the Palestinians and Israelites are at fault. You think in the countless years of fighting, these people would learn, but I guess it isn’t the case. Kinda of reminds me of many old stories of two groups fighting each other that they forgot what actually it was that they fought about.

Without Turkey as an Ally, I dont think we should even try going after Iraq. Turkey is a strong ally though, and we’re going in.

At first, the Palestinians (and all Arabs) were at fault. They had ties to the Soviets, the Israelis had ties to the Americans. It was just another part of the Cold war. The cold war is over. Israel won. Israel now decides to occupy 3 areas and declare them their own. They occupy the Gaza Strip, Golan Heights (which belong to Syria) and the West Bank.

Israel needs to forgive and forget. Few arestill alive and fighting who were involved in the 1948 wars. Since then, Israel has always been the aggresser. They attacked in 1967, and occupied the land which they now hold.

I agree that Turkey is one of America’s strongest allies. Do you see many American air bases in Israel compared with Turkey? Besides, Turkey has owed us a great debt of gratitude after WWII under the Marshall Plan to stop the spread of USSR communism.

Also I support the idea of an independent state for both sides. As for these terrorists, they don’t represent the majority of Palestinians. But if this fight continues? Who knows what’s bound to happen?

I’m not exactly sure that Israel has always been the aggressor since 1967. In 1973, Egypt launched a devestating attack against Israeli positions near the Suez Canal.

well it’s not to say that Israel would be a strategic partner if USA were to go with war against Iraq, but Turkey deserves a lot of undue credit.

Palestinians. Also, I don’t think that many Middle Eastern countries were to go to war with Israel if they were to return their settlements aquired many years ago. They’re at least smart enough to know that the Israel are here to stay and it’s time to move on (something a lot of diehard fanatics won’t admit). Beside, Israel has the backing of the most powerful country in the world, there’s just no point to war.

I believe that the Palestinians are in similar situation to the American Revolution. Sure land and rights (taxes and representation in government) played a part in these current events, but I’m sure what the Palestinians want is freedom in their own independent state. Do you think if America were to make peace with Britain, everything would be settled (ie home rule)?

Well no one profits in war except for manufacturers and people in a strong political situation that have something to gain for it. Also in the case of the Sudetenland you have a radically different situation compared with the Middle East. A major change is that today we have the United Nations and not the League of Nations which was no more than a laughing stock. Attributing to this was a combination of the Treaty of Versailles, worldwide economic depression, WWI disillusionment, and a lot more .

Say what you want about the United Nations. Either it is a oversized knitting circle or a overpowerful superstate, the United Nations is much stronger then that of the League of Nations without America.

I’m not to say that the UN is super efficient at getting the job done and degrades to nothing more than a selfish shouting competition a number of times, but eventually things are done. For example, Operation Desert Storm was one such example of the UN Security in action. The most the old League of Nations would ever do might be to slap an embargo, if even that.

The UN is all we got. They are the only organization that involved most every country in the world (with a few notable exceptions).

The UN does a lot. It isn’t high profile, because it doesn’t chose to be.

I suport americas suport of Isreal. They have one of the strongest militarys in the world. Due in part to the fact that they get 90% of our foriegn aid, and they are fanaticly loyal to their country. The Isralis do not kil palestiny school children. That was a deliberate act of terrorism by the palestinys. As for the UN, it might as well be an extension of america. We give it the most money, the most troops, and a place to frickin meet. If america were to pull out, which it should, the UN would fall apart.
