[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffon: [QB] "You can dress it up however you like, but it still stinks. All of it." Sorry that my desire for both peoples will have peace offends you. You misunderstand my feelings for Judaism and Islam because you made a judgment after one post, and call me a bigot. If you read my lengthy posts, you also see that I say this is not a one sided affair. In fact if you read my posts you would see I never believe one side or the other is absolutely to blame in any conflict around the world. I simply don't believe conflict works that way. For instance, I mentioned looking down from near the Golan and seeing why Israel must have a presence. I spoke of Gaza and said I see why Israel has legitimate security concerns. I spoke of seeing Jerusalem surrounded on three sides by the PA. I blame poor, poor planning by the UN in not doing justice to Israeli and Palestinain alike in the hasty decision they made and the enthnic cleansing of Israel and the genocidal efforts of the Arabs in those early years as having come home to roost. I does stink, you're right, but not because of what I wrote. It stinks because of the reality two people groups, two ethnicities that had leaders willing to work together, instead followed leaders too short-sighted to do anything but hate. Now we are in real danger with Iran shooting its mouth off, of losing one or both ethnicities. "I don't particularly care for you." I know, and that saddens me because you do matter, and what you think matters to me. If it didn't I wouldn't be on these threads when I have a thesis proposal to finish. I could just tell you all to buy the book and make money off it. I prefer the free exchange of ideas, no matter how much they conflict with mine. To me, agreement or disagreement doesn't determine your worth. "I find it a little more than disturbingly interesting that a minister, a man supposedly bursting of love for humanity, has not even been able to make a friend here. Why is it that no one, besides you, is sensing that love and alloneuniversalhug?" Religion/faith is my topic. Human Rights based foreign policy is my second topic. The prophetic role is not to be popular, but to faithfully show forth God's message of justice and mercy for all people. Those are controvercial issues, and we argue over the worldview of how that is accomplished. Sunny, the video you asked me to watch demonstrated that you despise me. That's okay, in my eyes as God makes me able to grow, you are of sacred worth. I don't know you from beans (an Iowa hay-seed expression, not an insulting comparison) but whatever your religious, political and social beliefs, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or any other descriptor we use to divide people, you matter and your opinions matter to me. "has not even been able to make a friend here." Yeah, it's hard to break in to a clique. Don't worry friends are coming. I am used to bringing an unpopular message, controvercial. Prophets are always considered offensive, few of us want the role, but the love of God for the poor compels us. What do I want for Israel? I want Israel to be safe and strong. I want children in Tel Aviv to never have to witness the carnage of twisted metal I saw in '05. I want Israel's economy to become so strong they can tell the US they need no more aid. What do I want for the Palestinian Authority? I want them to stand against the lawless terrorists that have stolen that peoples' heritage to be run to ground so they kill neither Israeli or Palestinian in their villainy again. And I want them to develop infrastructure, education and medical facilities. I want their children to be able to eat better food and clean water. And for both I want them to each have a place to call home. "Something just isn't right here" You're right, but that's not my doing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
