"Hey! According to my faith i own this bit of land."

"Oh, well argued!, we'll just kick the current inhabitants out then."

"Smashing!"

Great idea, bound to end well.

Why do people put devisive philosohies ahead of human lives? Idiots on both sides, but i can't help but feel slightly more sorry for the Palestinians given that they were just turfed out years ago. Both sides commit acts of terror, but only one side's actions are acknoledged as such. Plus i suspect the gaza strip thing is a bit of tit for tat on Sharon's part so he can hang onto the west bank.

The whole wall thing is outrageous as well, aparently the UN says its illegal, so no doubt George and Tony will invade any day now to liberate the oppressed.

what? oh.

Interestingly my faith says i own everything.

when they took this bit of land, 30 odd years ago, it was a sandy strip of nothing, years later ppl moved onto it.
I mean honestly, its a bit of land, most of the ppl living there didnt even see the war.

obviously ppl taking bits of land in tanks, and claimming it to be there own sucks, but the world has changed alot since then. so your left with what you got.

Why cant both sides realise that.

a. ppl are there now, upheavel effects familys, and to be honest, what different does it make if they live thiere, they are humans like you and me.
b. killing each other is surely worse then someone living peacefully in a house.
c. the land was unused before anyhows, the world is more populated.

I heard a brief snippet on somewhere 300 bombs going off simultaneously but only one person killed. May have misunderstood however I think it was in Bangladesh. Is it true?

There has been a triple bombing in Iraq:

Bangladesh is not an Islamic country. They want it to be.

End of, surely?

What I don't understand is why their territory has to be exclusive.

The Israelis force the Palestinians to move out, and now when they give the Palestinians land they make the Israelis move out. Why does anyone have to move? Why is it impossible for two people to occupy the same patch of ground?

Would surely be a more significant sign of peace attempts in my opinion.
