Ah, but if you read many news reports, the message they are giving is that the destruction is in response to the Israeli 'occupation'. If so, then they would be destroying signs of the Israeli government. They are not. If Israel destroyed all the 'unused' mosques in Israel, there would be war. There was massive orgies of death when a mosque was turned (back) into a Hindu shrine a year or so back.
As to what happened to the Mosques in Israel, they are still there. I don't think the world is out to get me, Jews or Israel. Just Islam, the media, the UN, and a few other groups out there. Islam has been pushing for the destruction of Jews and Israel for a LOOOOONG time. The media plays the situation for their own use while spouting more than enough lies to keep the conflict going. The UN just stands back and issues anti-Israel resolutions on a regular basis. And yes, Israel wants peace. They gave the entire Sinai back to Egypt for peace and didn't really get it. They exited Lebanon and are still being attacked by Hezbollah (under the watch of the UN). They've given land to the Palestinians again and again and we see where that's getting them. How much more does Israel have to do before people start asking what the other side is going to do/give. They've compromised and compromised and the result is fire and rockets. The middle east is not a place of compromise but Israel keeps trying. I guess we'll just have to wait till Iran has the bomb and we'll see the situation resolved once and for all. > So lets see if I understand this correctly. > The Palestinians did not destroy government buildings or military bases. > Both of which they would need for the administration and secuirty of their > land. > They did however destroy synagogues. how many Jews now live in these > areas? > Or right, none.
