Mate, he is obviously joking most of the time. Who am I to judge people that I do not know personally? Outside of the sometimes pointless discussions that we have and name calling then I obviously cannot pass judgement on ANY user here. Even those that I respect or like as I do not know them.
In fact some of the users that I find annoying/idiotic or have discussion with often might be better persons in "real life" than those that I respect/like here on PDF. Again how can I know?
Do you understand my points?
Anyway I am afraid that we are off-topic. I just hope that I got my points across and if not then life's goes on. People are free to ignore facts if that is what they want to do but they will not change because of that which is a good thing.
What is certain is that most Muslims are united in this which is a good thing.
Also any sane person can see who is doing war crimes and who is just defending themselves.
I can tell you that most non-Muslims I know, have talked to etc. are against Israel's actions and occupation of Palestine. Yet this does not matter as a tiny and powerful elite is deciding and for them Israel is a better partner/more important than Palestine so the situation will not change much.
The power elite need to change and see Palestine as a bigger asset. Until that happens I am afraid that nothing will change. This is why education is crucial for the Muslim region.
Be honest and ask yourself why an ordinary American (neither Palestinian or Jewish) should take a side other than the one that benefits him the most?
It's like asking a Muslim Afghan or Muslim Omani whether he prefers Surinam or Guyana if they were at war and if they picked for instance Guyana (because it suited their interests best) no Muslim would object.
We need to look at this conflict from more than 1 dimension (Muslim one) otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to change the tides as the Muslim dimension is not something that non-Muslims understand.
We need to highlight the grave injustices that are being done against the Palestinian people without necessarily the religious angle as you know that many non-Muslims would automatically think about terrorism and what not. Unfortunately this is the reality.
Also I agree that we need to do MUCH more for Palestine and more for Muslims all across the world. It is a shame what we have turned into. We need to pray for better times, change and ask for forgiveness. This is unacceptable.
Anyway I have to go. Promised to help my neighbor with a broken pipe, LOL. I promised her to help when I returned so can't escape it.
Take care.
