I will repeat to you again, the same thing I said last time you made this ignorant statement. The majority of Israelis are NOT ANY RELIGION. I posted all kinds of references to show you that they aren't any religion. I cannot understand your insistance that they are a religion, when they say they aren't a religion. I AM NOT ANY RELIGION. I am a jew by birth. And the palestinians still hate me. > The fact that they're still at war over something > that most people stopped fighting for hundreds of years ago is in fact > disgusting. To continue on and try to make up other reasons is silly and > ignorant. If nobody was blatantly religious, nobody would know who to kill. I begin to wonder if you have reading comprehension problems. The jews in israel are definitely NOT BLATANTLY religious. They eat pork on yom kippur. > The hardline religion stops, the violence stops.

Explain to me exactly how conflict keeps the US in control of oil in the middle east? What exactly does the war between the palestinians and the israelis have to do with oil? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
