    Are you attempting to twist his and my post here to suit your own needs? I was saying his advice about calling or not calling someone a liar as good advice. There was no facts, historical or otherwise in that post.




    Well I am not going to argue the point. My only suggestion is to read some good books on the history of the Mid-East. There has been friction between the two groups, that is true. But, for the most part they did not resort to open warfare as we see it now. That came about after 1946 ... and that is all history now and we have to live with the decisions that were made and the problems caused.



    See my first sentence.



    Teaching them to stop the killing by burning American & Israeli flags ? She had a first hand account of the situation, didn't she, no matter who killed her ? She died teaching Palestinian kids how to hate.

    So, again, how do you feel about Egypt's wall ?[/QUOTE]

    The country of Israel was not new in 1948. Israel had been around for thousands of years. Reinstated maybe. New, absolutely not.

    Walls are a lazy way out. Even Jericho's walls fell. Enforcement of law is always a better way.

    I'm not willing to buy everything anybody says, just because he was "there". And even if he says he's a Christian.

    After this discussion, I am still convinced David is a great Christian example. There is definately a time for war.

    As far as this war, we approached it like a bunch of kids at a cookie jar. Everyone got their faces messy, and when it was clear what happened, they all pointed at each other.

    Hardly a good Christian example.

    You never saw my face at that cookie jar Bro. I was already busy pointing my finger at how the state was manipulating public opinion in a most unethical way.

    Nobody would believe me then and nobody will admit I was right now...and I'm still consistantly being informed that I'm the one who's been brainwashed here. And that's one of nicer things I've been accused of.

    Go figure huh?
