(1,070 posts)One set is not an official army. They don't have the funding to buy weapons which can compete with an actual military, and they are not an internationally recognized government, so they are "terrorists."
The other side is an actual government with a tremendous military. They are NOT terrorists, although they do terrorize.
One side launches a lot of rockets and kills a couple people occasionally. The other side launches a lot of rockets and kills dozens of people consistently. And I'm supposed to sympathize with the winning side?
Now when you consider that the losing side had their homeland stolen away by people who obviously valued Christians more than Jews and Jews more than Muslims, I'm STILL supposed to support the winning side?
I've never supported bullies. If this fight is wrong vs wrong, then I will back the little guy or stay out altogether.
Let me ask you this: If Japan had won WW2 and insisted that certain states be given back to their original, native inhabitants, would Americans still be upset about this today, or would we have just said "oh you're right Japan, let me forget all about my parents' homeland?"
Would we be upset enough to kill over the loss of some of our territory? Seems pretty obviously yes.Thus, the people who created the nation of Israel created this present day conflict, period.
