Well the thing is that per capita you have as many if not more than your southern neighbours, However what i love about Canadians is that, for the better part, you just couldn't be bothered using them for anything other than hunting. Have some great Canadian friends... what a great outlook they have on life and all it has to offer... not a generalisation
Well first they threw stones and the Israelis retorted with missiles and tanks... Great thread on the international forums under current events and politics on this very subject... well worth a look.
I think on a simple level there's TOO much profit in war and little in peace.... on an international level. The five biggest arms dealers inthe world are the five permanent members of the security council.....
The jews didn't have the land back then either, it was a roman outpost... The Balfour agreement, which lead to the division of the middle east is what you're refering to I believe. However as i posted earlier if you use the time line idea that 3/5 thousand years ago it was jewish, the you must support returning all the lands of the USA to the American indians, the same for Australia and many other lands......
Peace, a simple concept and for the better part an impossible reality... Failing the invasion of the planet by aliens, which would lead us to unity... for a short time anyway
From reading several sources, and from spending a considerable amount of time in Israel over the years on business.... Have you ever been there....
Why is it that the country of Israel is allowed to continue to breach UN resolutions with impunity? I'm not against Jewish people, have many jewish friend in ireland and believe that they have a right to a country and to security and peace. However that a race/nation of people who have been persecuted and murdered in their masses, can then in turn oppress another group/ nationality of people amazes or confuses me.
NO been awake for ages, the real question is have you been naive all of you life, in believing what you hear on news stations, or is it a new course that you've taken??
If you agree that these land are historically JEWISH lands because of historical teachings, then would you not support the repatriation of ALL usa soil to the Americian Indians, ALL aurtrailian lands to the aboriginal people etc etc etc.
Israel is in direct breach of at least 35 UN sanctions, amazing that Iraq who were in breach of 4/5 of these sanctions were invaded.
It seems like in Ireland that the vast majority of the peoples of both lands want PEACE, however as always the politicians do what the want.
You did right, a good friend will always speak their mind, regardless of the consequences. Normally the other friend will appreciate the advice..... but not always at the time the advice is given
RE: Israel attacks Gaza aid fleet
But you only do that to make thos esouthern neighbours of yours look smart.... How charitable of you lolBefore any of those neighbours get angry with me, I'm joking
