opportunity to compromise with israel but they dont want a compromise they want the entire area to themselves because of jihad. so its completely about religion and even though there are other religions in arab countries its mostly a muslim vs. jew problem. also, people get treated badly during war time, get over it. it certainly doesn't have to be that way, your right, how about arabs stop bombing israeli civilians and teaching their children to be suicide bombers and then well talk.

simply because of religion. so yes the arab-israeli conflict is entirely about religion. and there are a million reasons for there to be a jewish state since from the very beginning jews have been persecuted. they need a place to go where they know they will be safe. its in a stupid place of course but the only reason its there is because their religion says they have a right to it. its also achieved more since it has become israel then it ever could as palestine. theyve also had every...

@BoneBeast the president and the real leader khomenei are the crazy Muslims I'm talking about not the Iranians in general, I wish the best to Iranians and to be free of that kind of people, maybe they need what it was done in Iraq who knows. and what you say about the bringing of those animals to power I don't think so those are just conspiracy theories. I cant denied some Americans are like that but not all of us.

@ElLeonidas2009 Crazy muslims? Most iranians hate the regime and are atheist. Well it was america that brought khomenei to the rule so I would say crazy hypocritical americans!
