    - Sure but when a woman remembers the carpet and what she was wearing at the time when she tells the story many years later, that's a sign. -- nm - David Oct 15, 10:30 2
      - To paraphrase "I wore the same baggy dress to every audition" - Stephen Oct 15, 10:32 1

- well, so much for this round of peace talks. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 10:36
- Yeah, still have a hard time finding any sympathy here, you start a war with Israel, you lose and get your asses handed to you and lose land... - Stephen Oct 15, 10:20 29
  - do you really not know the history here? - Guy Oct 15, 10:41 1
    - Yes, I do know the history here guy. - Stephen Oct 15, 10:45
  - [deleted] 25

      - Yeah, in that last big dustup with Lebanon, Israel did a lot of indiscriminate bombing, including several towns and villages predominately Christian. - Trish Oct 15, 10:52
    - you can say that about pretty much any nation throughout history. -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:24 22
      - [deleted] 20
        
        you brought it up like they invented war or something. -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:27 19

        How the hell is it false? From its very inception Israel has been the target of its neighbors. - Stephen Oct 15, 10:34 17
        
        That tends to happen when you create a new country and set it down where people are already living - znufrii Oct 15, 10:42 4
        
        blame the UN (or was it the League of Nations at that time?) -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:43 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        blaming the UN doesn't really solve the problem that all those people are STILL being forced out of a place to live -- nm - Guy Oct 15, 10:45
        
        It was the UN, but you'd think they would've learned the dangers of ethnocentric nationalism after WW2. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 10:44
        
        That's a little like saying "From the moment of its inception in 1776, the United States was targeted by Indian tribes" - Roger More Oct 15, 10:37 5
        
        The point being that the land that is now disputed was captured after Israel's great neighbors decided to once again try and destroy it. - Stephen Oct 15, 10:41 3
        
        It's countries that fight wars, and people get caught in the middle. - Roger More Oct 15, 10:54

  - that'd be silly. housing developments are much more damaging - they last longer. - Guy Oct 15, 10:12 6
    - "rockets just explode" you forgot "and kill people". I haven't seen a house kill someone since the House movies with the guys from Cheers. -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 10:14 5
