On the other hand, I don't buy into the "chosen people" concept, probably because I don't worship your God.
So I think I will continue to give my own nation top priority. | Well given the fact [assuming your american] your government has a significant role in the conflict and your government is answerable to you then you have a moral imperative to pay attention to whats happening. |

EDIT: Nope, given your recent posting history, you are for real. Wow... Its like talking to someone from the dark ages, or looking at a tapedeck; They still make you?

That's the problem. Most Americans would like to bury their heads in the sand here and pretend it doesn't matter to them since it's not in their backyard. Except for the some of the Americans posting on this board and others, I'd bet most Americans don't even know what the conflict is about. If I tried to talk about this with some of my girlfriends...... it's almost sad to think about the blank look on their faces. I love them and all, but most of them are not politically or globally aware.

What proof do you have that Palestinian terrorists "deliberately" target children? Kassam rockets are not guided. Those few Palestinian infiltrators who make it out of the Ghetto hit the first target they can: soldier, armed settler, etc. IDF terrorist snipers deliberately target children, yes. They have done so with telescopic sniper rifles aimed from the Wall. They shelled a family of a woman and her children openly visible to Israeli terror gunboats. Quote:
A schoolgirl riddled with bullets. And no one is to blame. Questions remain after Israeli unit commander is cleared of Palestinian pupil's death
Chris McGreal in Rafah The Guardian, Thursday October 21 2004 Article history
The undisputed facts are these: it was broad daylight, 13-year-old Iman al-Hams was wearing her school uniform, and when she walked into the Israeli army's "forbidden zone" at the bottom of her street she was carrying her satchel. A few minutes later the short, slight child was pumped with bullets. Doctors counted at least 17 wounds and said much of her head was destroyed.
Beyond that there is little agreement between the army top brass and Palestinian witnesses as to how Iman came to die last week, or even among members of the military unit responsible for killing the child in Gaza's Rafah refugee camp.
Palestinian witnesses described the shooting as cold-blooded. They say soldiers could not have failed to see they were firing at a child, and she was killed as she already lay wounded and helpless.

If you are Christian, then we are all God's children. Including the Muslims and all human begins everywhere.

You are no better than a Jihadist.
In fact you ARE a Jihadist.
And the God you pray to is most certainly not the Christian God. |

2.) The Palestinians brainwash their children into being homocide-bombers (I say this proves the Palestinans are the problem)
3.) Thee Palestinians glorify terrorists and terrorism. Yes, they even allow thier children to dress-up as little terrorists. INCLUDING FAKE SUICIDE BELTS!
4.) Your post shows DIRECT SUPPORT for terrorists and terrorism. Shame on you for that.
5.) The Palestinians elected a TERRORIST GROUP to run their country.
6.) The Palestinians USE CHILDREN AS LIVING BOMBS to attack Israeli civilians. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME AN ISRAELI TEENAGER DETONATED A SUICIDE BELT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PALESTINIAN MARKETPLACE?
7.) You and your lame analogy make me ill.
8.) YOU ARE WRONG AND YOU NEED TO REALIZE THIS FACT.
