Not only did they build a thriving civilization they built the greatest civilization that has every existed. As I understand it, a few, perhaps even a large number of natives were displaced in the process. <br /><br />What did our ancestors call this? As I recall they called it "manifest destiny" or something to this effect.<br /><br />Now Israel has built a thriving civilization out of a desert that far exceeds anything the Arabs have ever accomplished. In the process of building this great civilization, a large number of Arabs have tried to destroy Israel and the Jewsih people. They were punished for their aggression. In order to mitigate the attacks, Israel siezed the land that the settlements are being built on.<br /><br />The ancestors of the people who built America would no doubt do the same. If attacks were being launched into America from Mexican border towns and killing Americans and in general terrorizing their citizens, I can assure the American military would sieze the installations that were being used to attack America and we would NOT return those areas to Mexico until we were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that these areas could not be used to attack America ever again. In fact, there is a good chance we would never give these areas back to Mexico.<br /><br />It seems a bit hypocritical to me that the ancestors of the people who built America, the greatest civilization in world history, are now demanding that Israel who is building and has built a great civilization return lands taken from the Arabs.<br /><br />I'm NOT saying America should return land to the Indians but it seems a bit odd that American leaders would lecture Israelis on "settlements" that are being built on land that was taken from someone else when Americans are building and have built "settlements" on land taken from someone else. In fact, it not only seems odd. It seems hypocritical. <br /><br />The descendents of the people who built America are hypocrites. They can't use "I didn't know what happened to the American Indians" as an excuse. Every school child, high school student, and college student has been taught about how the American Indians were treated. Perhaps they do not know that their government is being hypocritical towards Israel. This may be a good reason, as to why Americans are not speaking about how unfairly Israel is being treated. After all, the media tells us constantly how the United States "unconditionally supports Israel." This is a bold faced lie. <br /><br />Again, I'm not saying the descendents of the people who founded America should vacate the land we now know as the United States of America and give it back to the Indians. Frankly, the founders of America have been better stewards of the land and its blessings than the Indians ever were. The founders of America and their descendents built the greatest, most prosperous, and freest nation the world has ever known. If the latest descendents of the people who founded America, continue to squander the blessings they were bequeathed, God may seek fit to uproot them from the land of America and give it to someone else who will be better stewards of the land and its resources!!<br /><br />In summary, it is hypocritical for Americans to tell Israelis to abandon settlements on so called Arab land when they are making no effort to abandon settlements on so called Indian land. In my considered opinion, there is nothing worse than a hypocrite!!B.Posternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-11248484246947936592009-05-18T21:32:00.000-07:002009-05-18T21:32:00.000-07:00I love it!
