I like many kinds of world music, especially the one of the middle east. For example, sometimes I listen to an Iranian female singer and some other day a Lebanese femal singer, etc. etc.... My interest in such music jenre has led me to more interest in the histories and the situations of nowadays of those areas. And I'm also a fan of Ofra Haza who was a popular Israeli singer and died of AIDS in 2000. She was Yemenite-Jewish and in her earlier career she appealed to people by the songs inspired by Yemenite tradition. Her love and interest of it somehow bridged the divide between Israel and the Arab countries.
After she succeeded worldwide, she sang many impressing songs apealing for the peace of the world. Of all her songs, particularly I was so impressed by the one titled "The Middle East" referring to the conflict between Israel and Palestina. Everytime I listen to the song I feel so sad to realize that the things haven't changed for the better since the days when she sang it.

I sometimes wonder how much the Cult of Victimhood plays into the problems in the Middle East. Here is what I mean:
Jews have been being killed for centuries. When plagues ran through villages in Europe in the Middle Ages, it was the Jews who were accused of "Poisoning the Wells", and were run out of town (at best) and slaughtered (at worst). That was before Hitler and the Holocaust tried to wipe them all out. Out of guilt, Britain and France decide to evict all the Palestinians from their land and give the land to the Jews, to ease their conscious at not letting all of them into their countries during the years of Hitler. As a result of these centuries of attacks on them, the Jews adopt the victimhood mentality. And, for the most part, the outside world lets them get away with it because being anti-Jewish means you are inherently evil because you should feel sorry for them for all they've gone through.
But in the eviction of the Palestinians from their land and the staunch refusal to let them have a state of their own, we give the Palestinians a feeling of being oppressed. Israel cuts off their money, restricts travel, shuts down electricity and water supplies when it feels like it, and every once in a while decides that no one is going to leave the borders of their area, even to go to work. Not to mention, every once in a while the Israeli army decides to move into their neighborhood, evict everyone by force and thereby expand the size of the Israeli state. Add to that the terrorist actions of Israel (who respond to 4 missles fired by militants by trying to blow the Gaza Strip to smithereens) and the fact the most of the world looks away at what Israel does to them, and voila! The Palestinians are now victims, as well.
So now what do we have? Two people fighting each other. Both of them see themselves as being Victims; Victims of the other, and Victims of the world at large. Therefore, their anger and any actions they commit are justified in their own head as the righteous acts of Victims against Oppressors.
Is it possible to inject reason into this situation and defuse the anger when both sides are almost genetically convinced that they are Victims?

On Christmas Eve, Hamas militants fired more than 65 rockets into southern Israel on Wednesday -- four days after a cease-fire officially ended..
I'm sure those rockets had jingly bells and red felt and brought joy to the boys and girls of southern Israel. How dare Israel attack the spots from where they were fired!!!
[/QUOTE]
Yes, after cutting off all funds, medical supplies, food, gas and electricity for months, it is so totally justified for Israel to kill well over 300 people, most of whom are innocent civilians, after no less than FOUR Israelis were killed in rocket strikes. Christ, you are one fucked up piece of shit.

YOUCH!
Sorry, Thomas Hamas Quinn, didn't know you took ONE SIDE so personally!!!
Sometimes, you really are an ignorant a-hole, but it's cool.
I'm now with TQ. Let's kill all the Israelis. (for cutting off all funds) How dare they cut off funds from Hamas. Hamas needs funds, like TQ implies. There are operations that they need to carry out that require rocket propelled grenades. But they would never hurt innocent civilians.
Who's the fucked up piece of shit? Wake up, dutch boy. Both sides are killing each other.[/QUOTE]
Wow, are you too stupid to even *read* now?
If you'd have bothered to read my posts, instead of going straight for your fanatical I-support-the-America-Israeli-Cooperative-Enterprise speech, you'd have read that I condemn both Hamas AND militant Israelis for being terrorists. The difference being that Israel now rejects *any* attempts at mediation, and still pretends to be a legal, constitutional and liberal state. They're obviously not, under present leadership. What I said about Hamas still stands: religious fanatics (like the colonists, by the way), who are not the least bit sensible but who are, probably for the worse, but still, the LEGAL GOVERNMENT. Now, if you think Israel is justified in murdering the population of Gaza, as you obviously are, I suggest we hang you, as the theory needed to justify that would put you in strict accordance, excluding anti-Semitism, with the defending parties in the Nurenberg trials.
The interesting part in your post is that you fail to read my criticism of Palestinian leadership, then call me a Hamas-supporter (and if you'd have done that in real life, ignorant little fuck, I wouldn't hesitate before suing you for defamation), and go on to give a *propaganda speech* which is so one-sided that the word "absolute" is insufficient to denote your allegiance to the criminals in charge of the Israeli government today.
Do you honestly think I'd be calling for a UN peacekeeping force if I were a Hamas-fan? Are you truly that stupid?

Isrealis =/= Jews
Many, if not most, Jews throughout the world do not support Israel's policy; orthodox Jews even consider the state of Israel sacrilegious (according to the Old Testament, the Jews would return to Israel *after* the Messiah's arrival).

Indeed, but those in control of policy in Israel are Jews. Other ethnic/religious groups are a minority there, and if I understand it correctly, they are discriminated against by the larger society. That is what I meant when I said "Jews"

"Thomas Idiot Quinn" was Microwaves response. The only thing I can say in response to that is "third grader".
How do you like that, folks? A third-grade nazi.
How do you like that, folks? A third-grade nazi.
The situation is impossible to resolve. Best minds and politicians have tried to settle the conflict, but in vain. I think it won`t be resolved in this generation. We need a new generation of politicians and leaders, we have to wait for young intelligent people to grow up, who will have a different mind-set and a new approach to solving problems and be less fundamentalist, less religious maybe. Nothing will be done in the next 30 years or so.
The younger generation is growing up with the violence, and is growing even more bitter than the old one. It is obvious now that neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians have the capability or the decency to deal with this issue; as far as I'm concerned, it is now a UN matter - send a peacekeeping force, and keep it there. Then, if any side steps out of line (yes *any* side) action can be taken BY THE UN. Conservative Americans and Israelis as well as fanatical Palestinians are terrified by this notion, as it'd rob of their main source of power (violence and the threat thereof), but that to me is even more of a reason to implement it.

How do you like that, folks? A third-grade nazi.

And you have dialogue with said third grade nazi. (Don't you live closer)
So I'm a nazi because I don't condemn the Israeli attacks, eh?
What are you, performing? Who are these "folks"? Are these your fans that follow your stand up act, because you might wanna realize that there aren't any.

ThomasQuinn, your idea to send a UN peacekeeping force shows you have no idea how absolutely usesless these forces are. See the role of the peacekeeping force in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_Genocide]Srebrenica massacre[/url]. Also, many Israelis feel the UN is prejudiced regarding the conflict, so it will never work.
