Pete, I think the below was your turn to talk b0ll0x. No doubt you'll point
out how Palestinians have never done anything for the good of the human
race, like you did with native australians.

Mark......You re talking bollocks.;-)

   I think you are referring to the Israeli settlers,These people make up a
tiny minority of Israels small population,Yes these are right -wing
extremists,But they dont share their  views of the majority,Indeed, this
week some of the settlers were dismissed from the army for not dismantling
their own settlements and moving back into Israel proper.The Israeli
government is, as we speak withdrawing from occupied territory's.
    On the other hand nearly every Palestinian would like to see the Nation
of Israel destroyed.The Palestinians are the extremists
    Maybe Jews have support from western countrys because they realise that
Jews have made tremedous participation
(I know ,crap English)     to the development of the world through the years
,Whilst the Palestinians have not




It's not only that, but it's commonly believed -- former Congressman
Dick Armey said it out loud on national cable TV -- that one of the
prerequisites for the second coming is that Israel would own all the
land the Palestinians are currently standing on, and therefore the
Palestinians need to be kicked out so Israel can annex the West Bank
so Jesus will come back.  Naturally the Israeli far-right does not
object to more land even if it doesn't help bring the Messiah (for the
1st time by their count).

I get the impression Jesus would not get involved in disputes about
land.  "Dad, I'm not going back there -- they've missed the whole
point!"
