Looks that way, huh? In a perfect world this wouldn't be happening, I know. Countries fight, can't help it.
All I'm saying is I wish we would stop supporting it. That much the U.S. can definitely do.

But can they really? If ISIS or syria/iran attacks israel and the U.S. just stands on the sidelines (i mean with supplies, not troops) is that really in our best interest? And God help us if ISIS or syria/iran defeats israel. Again, its about the lesser of two evils. The world is not perfect and very cruel , so sometimes you gotta make the choices you dont want to make even if it pains you to the core
And how did you get this idea?
Ask yourself this.. How many assassins dose it take to kill a person? The how many people in an army and bombs dose it take to kill a person, and how many people get caught in the cross-fire?
By looking at the recent history of the area. I know its hard but you cant look at this through a westerners POV
I'm sorry but this post is fucking retarded.
Explain. And while your at it, explain why that has been the principle of many cultures (you know, to the victor the spoils?)
Where should I start, the generalization of an entire region? Or your expert opinion of how a middle easterner thinks? You are fucking 16 years old, you know nothing of the world.
While I fully agree that the regional generalizations are pretty absurd, I think ageist arguments to discredit someone also are not fair. Age doesn't necessarily equate with wisdom.
you say to stop generalizing the region but you go again and generalize all 16 year olds by saying I know nothing. If that's not hypocrisy then I don't know what is. I never claim to be an expert, but why do you think all these middle eastern groups hate everything the U.S. and western civilization stand for? It has to be their ideology vs ours. I'm not some dumbshit teen who doesn't know shit about anything. I feel like I know a thing or too about this hellhole from basic history of the area and can use it to expand on ideas about why the leaders of these groups do what they do. And I never said that all middle eastern people are that way, but it sure as hell seems that the leaders of these groups think that way. The problem is that not everyone gets a voice down there, so when I talk about "them" I talk about the groups and leaders because sadly there are people that aren't allowed to have their say so the leaders of these groups are the ones with the influence and the ones that make the most noise so yeah that's my input and my 2 cents
Age doesn't necessarily equate with wisdom. HOWEVER, we are not talking about jeopardy knowledge, or even relationship experience. We are talking about the pscyhe of an entire region and it's people. He has not existed long enough unless he is some how residing there as we speak. Judging by his comments, I think it's safe to say he does not.
You did not mention individual groups, you mentioned the middle east. Also, I have no idea what you just tried to articulate above.
No i dont live in the region, but my great grandmother lived in Armenia. And ya know what, she had to cross the syrian desert at 7-8 years old because of the turks preforming genocide on the Armenians 100 years ago. So how is that not an example of oppression in that region hmmm?
300 years ago English Immigrants came to North America and slaughtered it's inhabitants over the course of 200 years. You aren't mentioning that in your argument. Point is there has been oppression in every region across the globe at some point in time.
Age shouldn't really matter, but when it comes to political stuff/world affairs, you gotta take what someone under 20 years old says with a grain of salt. Especially after the stuff I just read, he isn't exactly wording it in an adult way...
Jews have been oppressed in the Middle East since the Old Testament days
Again, this literally has nothing to do with what you are saying earlier. Read what you are writing.
because I'm not an adult, I'm just putting ideas out there. do you have to agree with it? no. I'm just putting it out there if you want to disagree fine I'm just giving my take on this
so you say that it isn't region specific, but I just gave an example of how long something like this has been in that specific region
I do not agree with his approach nor the generalizations as I find them fundamentally flawed as I indicated by giving an example of variation in the region. I think in general productive debate requires an open heart and mind.
As long as humans exist there will be oppression. IT IS NOT REGION SPECIFIC. There has been oppression everywhere on this planet. This is what you seem to not grasp. Oppression is not exclusive to the Middle East. I don't know how to explain this to you. The caananites would be bitching in this thread about being oppressed but they were genocide victims of the jews. If you want to cite biblical bullshit as well.
My point IS, assassins are few ARMIES are many. Assassins usually don't involve innocent civilians, where as armies DO. Again look at the current conflict in Israel.
Did i say that it ONLY happens in the middle east? Because if i did please tell me where. It just seems that we hear about it more in the middle east than anywhere else
