You are forgetting that Islam will not permit Jews and Isreal to exist in the region side by side. Isreal exists today because of its own military might and the support of the United States. Without either, every man, woman and child would have been slaughtered long ago.

You dont have deep rooted ethnic and religious hatred between the US and Canada where the very force binding Canadian society is the idea that all Americans must die and Canada is involved in a "holy war" were "victory" and gaining entry to "paradise" means giving your life trying to kill Americans until all Americans are killed and/or expelled from America.

There are no parallels between historic differences concerning US/Canada and "getting along" that apply as useful analogies to the Middle East and Isreal.

Thanks for the lesson, but I'm forgetting nothing. The reason I didn't mention all that gibberish is because frankly I don't give a shit about it. We're all humans on this planet, and as such should have the capacity to learn from each other..... my point about how Canada & the US, although have a history that in some spots is checkered with war, have developed over time a bond that is second to none. I mentioned it because it is a thing, a concept, that other countries should look to as an example.

When it comes down to it, you can either continue fighting endlessly until the region you're in is a 1000 mile wide bowl of smoking glass, or you can put aside all the so-called *reasons* couched in religion and start to actually live again. And before anyone spouts that I'm being unrealistic, you need to realize that I'm asking for nothing, I'm expecting nothing. I know as well as the next guy that nothing is going to change in that region, I'm merely suggesting that there is a better way.


Nothing to debate with what I just said. It is what it is, nothing more.
