Curious to know people's position on Israel?

Richie Waves · 10-13-2008, 04:18 PM

Its a country.

Richie Waves · 10-13-2008, 04:19 PM

Not going to offer up your own first?

I heard Moses died, but I'm waiting for some independent verification first.

Probably the same as most. Israel's position is just one generation down from Issac, One up from Joseph and the same as Esau his brother . Why ? do you have secret evidence he was Chinese ?

Cindy Claveau · 10-13-2008, 04:24 PM

I have feelings for Israel but he never returns my calls

Country in the middle east. Predominantly Jewish. More patents in the time its been around than all the other countries in the middle east combined. Took a bunch of desert and made it viable when it had been the domain of subsistence farmers up until that time. Used by politicians from other countries as a political playground.

22. Voters in Israel had over 20 political parties to choose from in the most recent Israeli national elections.
23. Israel receives more media coverage, per capita and per square foot, than any other nation on earth.

Your position on Israel
1. Israel should be backed and supported
2. Israel should lose their nation status deferring to Arab nations.

You seem to view the world in black and white.
There are many shades of grey between these two options.

West.

My position is several thousand miles West-Northwest of Israel.

Unless you are going the other way, then it's East Northeast.

Israel - a country that politically wishy-washy loons on the internet like to use to promote division and hysteria.

Asher Bertrand · 10-13-2008, 04:33 PM

My position on Israel? Rather personal question, don't you think? That's between me and him.

I don't disagree. But you cannot deny their accomplishments and all that while beset on all sides by those who want to kill them. They've earned their bragging rights. And given the situation its no wonder they are batshit crazy.

However, I wouldn't exactly call today's Israel desert. I mean it would revert back to that if the Israelis left but they've done well with that land.

Taco Rubio · 10-13-2008, 04:34 PM

Richie Waves · 10-13-2008, 04:35 PM

Israel:

The one kid on the playground, who quietly insults all the kids around him, hits them, thoes spitwads, and then when someone reacts and hits him, runs crying to the teacher. If the teacher's not around, the kid responds to pokes, with punches, and responds to punches, with throwing rocks at the other kids. Enjoys taking other kids lunch money, and eating their pudding cups. Has a baseball bat and an older brother.

Countries like Iran:

The kids who tell the teacher that they hate that kid.. for a million reasons, only half of them relating to the kid's actual behaviour. Kids who are now so pissed off at the first kid, that they repeatedly threaten to start something. Repeatedly making plans to get a baseball bat one day.

Palestine:

The kid that keeps getting it's lunch money stolen, by all the other kids.. and spits on the first kid. Has some rubber bands.

United States:

The older brother of the first kid.. who repeatedly insists that THEIR BROTHER couldn't possibly be starting any of this shit. Threatens to kill ANY kid who touches their brother. Has a fucking aluminum baseball bat.Periodically hits kids for no reason.

Iraq:

Once, seriously, kicked the shit out of the first kid.. I mean really. Kept kicking them while they were on the ground, and everything. The other kids totally looked up to Iraq for a few weeks. Then Israel's big brother took a baseball bat, and beat them up so badly that they ended up in the hospital. So far, no one has charged Israel's brother with a crime.
