[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5761793, member: 24302"] Who are interpreting events with their own bias as opposed to being a part of an organization with reporters in the field and a research team. It's called opinion. And you approach everything with your own bias which means you accept what you hear from those saying what you want to hear and reject those who don't. We all do this to some extent. It's when you refuse to accept facts because they prove you incorrect that you run into trouble. A lot of people will go down with the ship rather than admit they are wrong about something. Israeli Jews are human. They are no more right about everything than anyone else. But they are acting out of self preservation. They are completely surrounded by nations who have tried to destroy them in the past and would likely try to do so now if they thought they could win. Those nations aren't concerned that Israel will destroy them. It's primarily a matter of Islam doesn't allow nonbelievers to dominate Muslims. Those Muslims living in peace inside Israel? Hamas and Hezbollah have no problem killing them too because to a fundamentalist Muslim they have betrayed their faith. Take the notion of Israel has been committing genocide. The Muslim population in Gaza has grown exponentially. If Israel has been killing Palestinians then why are there so many more now? You fall for propaganda. Amazing to me just how little awareness you have when you talk about democracy all the time yet somehow you can't grasp that Hamas is anything but democratic. Those elections they had that you tout? That's the hoops they jumped through to get international aid. [/QUOTE]
