http://www.religioustolerance.org/god_cana.htm The above is a link to bibical references to Genocide. By your logic if the Native Americans ever find a group powerful enough to kick our ass out to support them, they can have this country back all to themselves. That is a fairly bad excuse for human rights abuses. I cannot stand bullies. I see Israel as a bully because my country armed them and gives them resources... some of which they use to grab land from people who mostly have rocks and suicide bombers. I am not intrinsically anti-Israel, but when I see families who have their entire world erased by bulldozers it tends to piss me off. I put myself in that situation, and I cannot imagine what that would feel like. I also cannot imagine how angry I would be if some people moved in next door, built up a community in what is supposed to be my country, and then suck the water out of the ground while I have to walk 1/2 a mile to get mine.... I mean, lets say the Mexicans came to California, started building houses on land that had nothing on it, started depleting the ground water in the area, and then shot my kids for throwing rocks.... yeah,. that might piss me off. At the same time, I know what it is to see my country people die in the worst terrorist act ever. I know how angry, fearful, and vengeful it is to watch innocent people from your own nation die... and I saw the irrationality that people approached our actions, like it justified torture and invading other countries, for example. Now, you can continue to blame one side, and get no where, or you can support a peace that may get you somewhere.... Ordinary people will never benefit from war... The choice isn't mine anyways, it is theirs... I just hope my country stops footing the bill for it.
