    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Graduate studies. I spent time working in archaeological digs and doing historical research, as well as site seeing also. I spent time working in Petra the majority of my time in Jordan in the south at Petra, but also spent time in other areas as well. No. I am second generation...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Newsflash, I don't listen to or watch CNN or Fox. I also do not blindly accept what the Arab and anti-Israeli media feed me like you apparently do.

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    BOTH. We need peace so that BOTH people can live is safety and sovereignty. Israel is willing to give Palestine a state and freedom and sovereignty. Palestine is NOT willing to recognize that Israel has been given nationhood, and it will not be reversed. They have not decided that they would...

    But the Palestinians are saints, huh? Tel Aviv, 2007 suicide bombing:

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Unfortunately the UN disagrees with you, as it gave them the land (a land which NEVER belonged to anyone other than foreign nations, there was never a Palestinian state at any point in history EVER). Israel was granted the right of statehood, and that right will never be taken back. Whether you...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Actually, it's a great place. I've visited several times, plan to go again, and wouldn't mind living there really. Particularly up in the Galilee it is a beautiful, and incredible place.

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    And by the way, in case you missed it, there are Palestinians who serve in the Knesset, there are areas of Israel with large Palestinian populations and leadership. It's not Israel's fault that some of these people listened to their arab "brothers" and got the heck out in 47, only to wind up...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Before those walls Israel was being subjected to countless suicide bombings. Since them there have been virtually none. Stop being terrorist bastards and the walls won't be needed. As I said, Palestine will have peace when she decides that peace is more important than killing Israelis. The...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Same difference. If Mexico were firing rockets on the US the way Palestine was on Israel, I doubt that you would be sitting there saying so what. But Israel is supposed to grin and bear it and do nothing.

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    If you knew anything you would know that even during the "ceasefire" there were rockets raining down, just in decreased frequency.

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Once again, the majority of Jews, including those living in Israel, are secular in nature and do NOT actively or in any other way practice Judaism as a religion.

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Really? How much time have you spent in the Middle East Mr. USA? I've spent extensive time there, not only in Israel but also the West Bank, Jordan and Egypt. I've done graduate level studies in areas applicable to this issue. I would venture a guess that I know a hell of a lot more about it...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Jews are not a religion, they are a race. As a matter of fact the vast majority of Israel is secular, a large portion of them atheists.

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    I believe there should be a two state sollution, the Palestinians with Gaza and the West Bank, and Jerusalem should be made an international city. Golan though should remain as a part of Israel, I would never return it to Syria after all of the death and terror that it had formerly been used...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Stole what land? There was never a Palestinian state, never a Palestinian nation, never a Palestinian King, it is all manufactured. The last sovereign state in Israel before 1947 was ... Israel. It has been an occupied nation devoid of sovereignty ever since. Israel did not steal anyones...

    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    When the Palestinians decide that they want peace more than they want dead Israelis then there will be peace. Egypt decided to seek peace and now has peace with Israel. Jordan decided they wanted peace and now they have peace with Israel. When Palestine decides she will accept peace she will...

    Capitano Giorgio Chiellini

    Chiellini's do not grow on trees. "Who knows we might find the next Del Piero/Totti/Baggio ..." Great players don't grow on trees. If we want to be a great team, then we don't sell off our world class talent. That is utterly idiotic. Yes, we need to improve. But you don't IMPROVE by selling...

    Capitano Giorgio Chiellini

    As poor as the defense is, you want to sell our one and only solid, WC performer back there? Hell no I wouldn't sell him for 40m. He, Buffon, Diego (and probably Trez, despite getting up there in age) and Marchissio are untouchable for me.

    U.S. Soccer

    In a 4-3-3 I think he would do better playing out on the wing than he would as part of the 3 man midfield. Or in a 4-5-1, he would be ideal as the CAM. He's a very good character guy as well, he comes from the same club my 2 boys play for, and he comes back a lot to give time to the kids and...
