hmm, let me try to clarify even more: I used to be what I consider political - active in the game - I no longer do that - I have ideas and thoughts and concerns, but that is not the same as "being political" or in "the game."
IMHO - to be in the game you need to go in feet first all the way. Talking about politics and expressing opinions is not the same in my book.
You may think otherwise... if you've been an elected official, or a lobbyist you might better understand what I'm saying.
good point... montemonte, no face lady from New Joisey...
I should clarify - I was an elected official in the past, that - to me - is being political - the rest is just opinion. I'm going to go fix my profile, thanks for pointing out the incongruity.
was Palestine attacking Israel prior to Israel's illegal occupations?
here's what wiki says "Before World War I, the Middle East region, including the Ottoman Syria (the southern part of which are regarded as Palestine or the Land of Israel), was under the control of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 400 years. Towards the end of the 19th century, Southern Syria (or Palestine), divided between the Vilayets of Syria and Beirut and the Mustafiyyet of Jerusalem, was inhabited predominantly by Arab Muslims, both farmers and Bedouin (principally in the Negev and Jordan valley), with smaller numbers of Christians (mostly Arabs), Druze, Circassians and Jews (predominantly Sephardic). At that time most of the Jews worldwide lived outside of Palestine, predominantly in eastern and central Europe, with significant communities in the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Americas.
The roots of the conflict can be traced to the late 19th century, with the rise of national movements, including Zionism and Arab nationalism. Though the Jewish aspiration to return to Zion had been part of Jewish religious thought for more than a millennium, the Jewish population of Europe and to some degree Middle East began to more actively discuss immigration back to the Land of Israel, and the re-establishment of the Jewish Nation, only during the 1859 to 1880s, largely as a solution to the widespread persecution of Jews due to anti-Semitism in Russia and Europe. As a result, the Zionist movement, the modern movement for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people, was established as a political movement in 1897." source:
sigh... it is the way of your expression ... nothing wrong, just, it doesn't speak from the heart as much as it walks straight out of your bright and intellectually oriented mind... maybe, O, maybe this is why love is hard for you to find and keep?
maybe you should watch some chick flicks while you tan before Brazil
