What Does Jesse Jackson Know That We Don't?

Antipas, the Palestinians are in the condition they are in by their own choosing!

The UN partitioned Palestine. The Jews were happy to coexist with the Arabs. They had for generations anyway. But the Arabs refused to accept the nation of Israel, went to war against the Jews and the Jews had to defend themselves. In 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, Israel had to fight against unbelievable odds to survive.

Israel has tried again and again to make peace with the Palestinians, even going to the point that Ehud Barak was going to give Arafat 98% of the land he wanted back in 2000. Instead, Arafat denied peace and the latest intifada began. Blaming Israel and the US for the plight of the Palestinians is evidence that you are listening to the liberal voices in politics today who are always on the wrong side of history. The FACTS of the Mid-East conflict point to one source of failure: the Arabs.

You give the hypothetical of the Palestinain shop owner losing his store. Its hypothetical. We know for a fact that thousands of Jews have been slaughtered by Palestinian terrorists over the years. Innocent people going to work, going to school, going to the market, eating at a restaurant, attending a wedding. THEY TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO HATE AND TO MURDER FROM THE EARLIEST OF YEARS.

Are there innocent Palestinians caught in the crossfire? Sure. But the injustices laid upon them are the result of corrupt leaders, radical Muslim theology, Arab brothers from other nations that DO NOT WANT THESE PEOPLE. Israel has been better to them than any nation in the Middle East. Israel has made concession after concession to find peace, and what do they get for it? More terrorism, more demands, more death, more broken promises.

The Palestinain authorities, religious leaders and political groups all live by the credo that Israel must be destroyed and cease to exist.

I'm sorry, but this pity party for the Palestinian people is pathetic. We should feel sorry for the innocent men, women and children, but they are unfortunately the ones who are suffering because of THEIR LEADERS, THEIR BROTHERS, and THEIR RELIGION.

Has Israel done everything perfectly? No. But their failures pale in comparison to the colossal and gargantuan failures of the Palestinians.

As far as your accusation of blind theology: If modern Israel is not Biblical Israel what is it? If the establishment of modern Israel is not a fulfillment of God's promise to make them a nation again then what is it? If God's promise to Abraham that He would bless those that blessed him and cursed those that cursed him doesn't still apply Abraham and the Jews, why?
