FUCKING PUZZLING EVIDENCE!!!!

BOOF i AM... i am going to write about a subject that has confused me since before my memory can reach... the conflict in the Middle East. Neither side is hero enough to take. The Zionists are taking peoples land. This is the final insult, the reason people take up guns and fight like there is no tomorrow. Wouldn't you? Only certain death could make you leave, and this indeed was the case back then, in the bad old days, when you could get away with shooting arabs. I hate the settlers who go into Arab land and say some fucking god has given them the right. I hate the people who blow these people up just as much. But not more. They are both so wrong in so many ways that the fact that they don't understand why they are wrong makes them brain washed/crazy/greedy... New Yorkers who move into settlements because that is the only way they can afford a house are like Jews who buy Volkswagen -- their memory is too short for their own good. This land they are on has been disputed since the first words started appearing. Moving there puts their kids in the line of fire of a war. What fucking good parents they are. Not to mention the land was so disputed, even in Israel, that they should have known their little trip into the reservation to steal land just might not be a forever thing...Israel is on a plot of land that once was a major route of trade, the only way to go between a sea and a desert. They were always getting conquered and sucked up into whatever culture the rulers were imposing.

Now, we flip to modern times, and see the powers that were after ww 2 telling the Jews they could have land that Arabs had been living on for hundreds of years. The Jews come in and slaughter the Arabs, drive around with trucks full of bodies telling the Arabs to leave or die. The surrounding countries grew to hate the Zionists right then and there. Before this they had gotten along, the jews and arabs who lived in Israel. Acted just as kind neighbors do. Then the war came, with the gas and the train of humans reduced to animal... slave laborers worked to death making mercede and volkswagons... In the aftermath, the Arabs found they could no longer buy land in the country that nourished their memories and their grandfather¢s memories. They were forced into a reeking camp and watched as the occupier took over their orchards and farms and started living in their houses... saw their lives wiped away and the conquerer building mansions in th edust of their lost lives. The echo of the Germans raping the Jews for all their money and houses is not lost on me.

On the other bloody hand, you have religious fanatics and psychopathically cold acting leaders ready to spill as much blood as it takes... a long as it isn't theirs. An entire culture with a suicide wish fed by dreams of virgins and rivers of wine (presumably non alcoholic since they can't drink that, but the Koran doesn't make this distinction, because there was no non alcoholic wine when it was written... not that I expect the book to make sense, and old books like that are too easy of a target for me to harp on the inconsistencies.. that just gets so boring).

The mind reels. What to do? Now we have the children of the men who slaughtered the Arabs and drove them from the land living in inherited land. They feel as strongly about not losing their lives and ways of being as the Arabs do. Now they are building a wall around the Jews there, and in the process, of course, of course, nabbing a bit more land.

Caught in the middle are the people who want nothing to do with the conflict, and can't understand why the others keep the killing going; they would give anything for a normal life like you can have in the states without too much effort. Caught in the middle are the children raised thinking other humans are enemies, that the jews/arabs are less than human, undeserving of mercy and love. Caught in the middle are the widows and mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters and uncles and grandparents of the dead, all crying quietly in their respective churches, praying as hard as they ever have that no one else in their family will fall victim to the troubles.


So if anyone out there is in Palestian or Israel, or even knows anyone in the middle east, please inform them that Johnny Pain has officially declared their war over, and all combatants are to disarm within twenty four hours... or I will not be as kind to you as I would like to be when I take over the world.
