Reply #229: The Crusades????!!!! [View All]

[library_max]

Wait a minute, O student of history - who attacked who in the Crusades?

Where in the Koran or Qu'ran (I personally don't care how you spell it) did you get this notion about world conquest? Read the whole Koran, have you? Or do you mean that somebody somewhere sometime told you it was in the Koran?

Every analogy you use has the same flaw - you get backwards the relationship between aggressor and defender. The Palestinian Arabs were there. The British conquered the place and gave it to European and American Jews. It is the Palestinian Arabs and not the Israelis who are trying to undo aggression and conquest. A better World War II analogy would be if Germany had won and some of the French continued to do what they could (a la the World War II French underground) to push them out, with help and encouragement from outside the German empire.

And it is cheap and easy to say that you'd do something more effective than what the Palestinians are doing. You've never been in their situation and you never will be.
