If Israel Would Just Go Away...
What a fallacy, I see it in the comments on this blog and on rhetoric on the Web. If Israel would just go away, then we would have peace in the Middle East, then God would come, then all would be just peachy.
Well, let me point this out to you, Israel is not going to go away. It is time to wake up and realize that Israel is here to stay. You may not agree with how the nation was born, but to wish it to "go away" is ludicrous. Even worse are comments about wiping it off the Earth because that would be rampant, violent destruction, and the murder of millions of innocents.
It is time for all people to realize that Israel is here, has a right now to be a part of this world even if you don't agree with how she was born, and start to work on real solutions that include Israel in the process. This ability to pretend that Israel doesn't exist or that we could turn back the clock and thwart the colonization efforts is laughable. Get real!
If you are not part of the solution in solving problems with your eyes open in the Middle East, then from my point of view, you are part of the problem!
This perpetual whining about Israel as the aggressor, they mistreat the Palestinians, they don't belong in the Middle East, send them back to the countries they immigrated from is wearing very thin.
The Israeli people have forged a country, they have settled in the area, they are not living in shacks, they bought the land from Arabs that they are building on (well in most cases at least at the beginning of their fledgling country), and they have worked actively to develop friendships within the world community.
What I hear are whiners bemoaning what ifs. What if Israel didn't exist? What if Israel went away? Be an adult and face up to it, they are not leaving. It is time to swallow the bitter pill of their country's inception and move forward into peaceful negotiations and acceptance. Any actions other than this are foolish, ignorant, and misguided.
