Well at the moment I'm looking into the land of canaan and its interesting that the hebrew and arabic languages both stem from the same place. The arabs and the jews how lived in peace together for so long in history its a wonder where it all went wrong. Hopefully it will come back round again to a state where jews, arabs muslim or otherwise can exist in peace together.

Yeah. You should check out "Under Crescent and Cross," by Mark Cohen. It compares the station of Middle Age Jews under Christian rule to that of those under rule int he Islamic Empires, which was more favorable. It really came down to the collision of two nationalisms vying for the same piece of land one of which was much more well organized and funded. I really think the one-state solution is the only truly moral solution but it's not really on the radar.

ARABS ARE SEMITIC. THEY CANT BE ANTI-SEMITIC. That's like saying I'm anti-blacks but only some blacks.

@BigSpoon19 I'll look it up thanks. I'm holding a speaker's night at my uni next thursday and I might be going to /gaza with an aid convoy in December.

That's fascinating. I'd love to see what you find. I was actually strongly considering going to graduate school for media studies and that was precisely the type of thing that attracted me to that field: Studying how the media affects our views of conflicts, especially how distortions and universally accepted myths shape public policy. How important is the ahistorical myth of the tiny, besieged Israel? Why are Palestinians "terrorists," while friendly groups are "freedom fighters?"

@BigSpoon19 I might be going to Gaza in December and I'm doing a dissertation on the different media outlets and how they portray the conflict. Truth will rise eventually just as long as people like yourself keep on correcting the misconceptions.

[BigSpoon19]

Thanks very much for the comment. It's a terribly frustrating debate to have with many people in this country because of the distorted way the whole issue is framed by people of all political stripes.

Thank you for trying to bring reasoning to this guy. It scares me that people give in to the Israel/ american propaganda like this when you consider the plight of the Palestine people. The real Jewish heros of this world are the ones who condemned the Gaza war and the occupation of Palestine land.
