    so if hitler had won back then all will be written different about usa and their allies

    May have been written different,but you would be talking German and good would not have prevailed.
    I speak Greek and i will continue to speak Greek...even after first attacked by italians and then after germans....learn some history what greeks did at World war 2 and leave the smart comments..not all kick out germans with help from outside..usa "didnt save all 'as u think or tells you at hollywood movies.

    Well, you two have made me smile on a thread that hasn't been all that smile-inducing...so thank you.

    BB, it's lovely and sticky and sweet and continues to do wonders. Should be legal and available to all!

    marilor, I visited your town years ago when staying with family friends in Lyon. I thought it beautiful not just in name but in environment. Absolutely lovely.

    Peace to you both :)

    Thought this was important to share And this constitutes Israel
    Defending itself? These stats haven't been updated since the ground attack began. Red Cross are being hard from going in and reclaiming dozens of bodies on the streets. It's heartbreaking and the world powers are turning a blind eye still
    image

    To point out how ridiculous that is and how little you understand history, consider the following. In World War II, there were obviously no American civilians killed in the mainland US and no damage to American cities while millions of civilians died in Germany and Japan and we reduced both countries to rubble. Does that mean we were the bad guys?

    "...we reduced both countries to rubble." Sounds bad to me. How many of those that die in wars are actually guilty of the act we use as justification for bombing the shit out of them? I don't think it's a matter of good guys vs bad guys. It's all bad.
    I agree..
    Let me guess, you don't have a degree in history?
    Well, I do have a degree in history. One thing you learn pretty quick when you study history is that there are almost never good guys and bad guys. Especially so once the bullets and bombs start flying.



    Well, you definitely should get a refund if your professors taught you there was any moral ambiguity regarding the sides in World War II.
    History is written from the winners...

    May have been written different,but you would be talking German and good would not have prevailed.
    I'd find it ironic if it wasn't so sad that a number of people in this thread who are condemning Israel have been unable to utter the simple truth that the Nazis were a force of evil and are using tired cliches like "if Hitler had won the war back then all would be written different."

    No but they bomb people. Not everything he was said was about stealing land, you need to read or listen to what was said.
    Oh, I heard him loud and clear. Especially the part about "not giving them our money, dnt want to give them any of our taxes...." And your right, "they" bomb people. "They" also are under occupation by a government running rogue with the money "we give them from the taxes we pay." Wake the fuck up. Stop being so naive and blind.
    I'm well awake, and still think eddie made good points no matter what country he was talking about. And I do not like our tax dollars going to any country, I don't think we should support (with our taxes) that bomb people, over land, or anything else.

    your name says it all, lol. But neither side is right in killing, period. And the U.S.,should not give money to any country that feels killing is the only answer,.

    Krist Novoselic Comments on Israel-Palestine Conflict, Defends Vedder

    "The people of Palestine and Israel deserve peace and prosperity," the bassist wrote. "It is time to stop repeating the same old arguments, dogma and hate speech. It is the knuckleheads on both sides that should be criticized and not the singer from a rock band. In addition, both sides need to make hard decisions about finding a settlement to the catastrophe that is Israel/Palestine."

    I think you missed my point D.Europe as a whole would be different,Im not singling out Greece.The landscape(France,Belguim.Poland,etc)Would be very different.Of course the Allies Didnt do this alone.But had the 3rd Riech ran rough shot on Europe,I think we can agree it would be a much different landscape.I make a lot of smart ass comments,but this wasn't one of them.I think no matter how we achieved victory in Ww2good did prevail over evil.

    And don't forget about the people who didn't vote for whoever is in charge. Or the people who didn't vote at all. Or the people who voted poorly but didn't know any better and/or were lied to by those running in the election, as is the case for pretty much all elections. Since when did we blame voting citizens for the corrupt actions of a government to the point where we say that they don't deserve safety and liberty, as though they even have a real clue what the government is going to do, no matter what they said during an election campaign?

    So now we're dealing with the US contradicting themselves. Always banging on about democratically elected governments, but not in the case of Palestine, cos they're terrorists.
    They aren't. They have a democratically elected government that is defending itself(pitifully) against Israeli war planes, battleships drones and ground attacks
    Typical.
    US media is lying, US Government is lying to protect their sole ally and foothold in the Middle East(also loaded with nukes they've given them) and the reality is Gaza sits on 7 trillion cubic metres of gas.

    And that's really what this is all about.
    I'd suggest those defending Israelis action read some other reports that aren't US based. You're not getting the truth told to you at all.

    To be totally honest using history in any sense to justify what's going on is reall ridiculous. 'This happened us so we're allowed to do this'. BS. Innocent people are being slaughtered right now. That's what's important. And that's what should take front and centre. Not the usual myopia of Israel and it's supporters.

    funny you mention it, a jewish pal of mine, born and raised here in ireland, has been offered an obscene amount of money to relocate and settle in 'new territory', meaning once theyve cleared all the rubble from Gaza and the new illegal expansion starts being developed, there'll be new homes for jews from around the world to move into..this offer is being made to jews randomly placed all over the world.
