The World and Its Politics

Aug 16, 2006 12:46

After changing layouts twice since the last entry, I return. I thought something should be said about the current issue with Israel and Lebanon. I don't have much information to go on but from what I understand, Lebanon leader Hezbollah attacked some type of federal building in Israel resulting in the deaths of a few political officials.

*is concerned*

Right, I think that was why I was backing Hezbollah. Not to mention I'm something of an anarchist and... well, we'll not go down that road. Still though, couldn't the UN have just kept the Palestineans there and allowed Israelis in? Sigh... I may never understand what can be worth fighting so hard for, even if it is the Holy Land. The religious thing to do would be to live in peace... I don't know. I really sort of wish I were one of their nationalities so that I could make friends with someone of the opposite... though I'd be brainwashed to never do so, such a tragic situation.

France wasn't *lucky*. They had mad skillz yo. It just... took a while, that's all.

P.S. I don't think I know what to say back to that? You mean the results of my final at the college? Well... I've still not received those, I think I'll mail my teacher though now that you bring it up to find out. I'll tell you... sometime, just keep reminding me.

Okay, I can understand your reasoning but it wouldn't take you very far. Haven't you noticed a recurrent pattern: how opposed and repressed Jews have been throughout history? I'm not too sure if having two different cultures thrust upon each other so suddenly would work. Islam is a strong basis for the Palestinian lifestyle and Israelis would certainly not have to abide by it. They are their own people who were in need of beginning a new government for themselves. I suppose the UN deemed fit that Jews would be best placed in Jerusalem again even at the expense of others who are well-established and have such a vital tie to the place already.

"They had mad skillz yo"? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ON?! My 2¢, that is.

P.S. Yes, the final at the college is precisely what I'm talking about. ~reminds annoyingly~
