In order to achieve peace in the Middle East the U.S. must stop completely supporting Israel.

Thanks for your response. "You will have to understand that Israel has suffered innumerable terrorist attacks, mostly killing innocent men, women, and children who simply want to live peacefully. What then is Israel supposed to honestly do? " Should Israel really punish the innocent Palestinians who have done nothing but existed in the land that the Israelis think rightfully belongs to them? Is that right? When the Israeli government does these things, it only angers extremists more who already believe that Israel should not exist. This causes more terrorist attacks, which in turn causes Israel to heighten its security and continue to do these things that are unfair to the Palestinian people. It is one giant circle. This being said, there needs to be a government such as the United States that can play the crucial role as mediator. The United States needs to be unbiased and needs to enforce that terrorism stop and that Israel treat the Palestinian civilians better. Right now, the United States is not doing this. Jordan was separated from the British Mandate in 1922. This is when the area now known as Israel was then referred to as Palestine, although not a declared state. I understand that the Jews have lived there for a long time, but there were also Arab people living in this area. "Although Christian and Muslim Arabs had continued to live in this same land since Roman times, they had no real commitment to establish a separate and independent nation. Their concern was with family and tribe and, for the Muslims, the broader world of Islam. "(1) Whether or not Palestine was a real state, these people had their lives and cultures. When increased Jewish immigration began with the Zionist movement (I will talk about this more later), Palestinians became more concerned with their home being a nation. Israel, therefore, whether it should have been or not, was created on what these people considered to be their land as well. "Why did this happen? Why do Arabs want the Jews out? It's real simple. 1. The Qur'an teaches that the Jews are inferior and disgusting people who fell away from Allah's graces -- that Allah has turned them in to apes and pigs. " While I have not read the Qu'ran, I can tell you that Muslims do not believe in killing all Jews and Christians. Historically, in fact, Muslims have treated Jews better than Christians have and have preferred them to Christians. " Prophet Muhammad commanded his followers to recognize the common origins of their faith through Abraham, to honor their prophets, and to protect their believers. " Now, obviously extremists will exist, as they do in every religion. You can't tell me that even in the United States, there do not exist Christians that have killed based on their religion, for example, even though Jesus taught to "love your neighbor as yourself. " "3. Arabs and Nazi's had been in collaboration in order to destroy the Jews. The Jews, in both their eyes, could do nothing to gain favor. This is because they born Jews. And there is nothing to change that. The Jews, in the eyes of many Arabs today, are essentially doomed. Their pact was for the extermination of the Jews. " As I said before, historically, the Muslim people have been kinder than Christians to the Jews, and in fact prefer them to Christians because "they saw them as less competitive in expanding their political and religious influence. " In Muslim-ruled nations, Jews were given less rights but were not exterminated to the same degree as they were in places not under Muslim rule. "There was no Jewish Zionist "invasion. " The British gave that land to the Jews, and gave other lands to the Arabs. " The Zionist movement actually definitely existed, it is the movement in which the Jews tried to acquire what they considered their land "Early Zionist immigration to Palestine began in the 19th century, while the territory was still under the rule of the Ottoman Turks. "(2) The British actually at first put restrictions on this immigration though Arab immigration was unrestricted. "Herbert Samuel, a British Jew who served as the first High Commissioner of Palestine, placed restrictions on Jewish immigration "in the 'interests of the present population' and the 'absorptive capacity' of the country. " The influx of Jewish settlers was said to be forcing the Arab fellahin (native peasants) from their land. " (2) "Please justify how being a friend of Israel as opposed to denying Islamic extremism, somehow makes the US and Israel the monster of all monsters. " The US is doing much more than denying Islamic extremism, though. It has historically been a violent, imperialist nation which has done good things, certainly, but also done very bad things that are not always realized. "And that is precisely how the West has treated the Muslim world for the past. 200 years…The strategy the 19th century colonial rulers adopted to break resistance to their "civilizing mission" was to "ruin, hunt, terrorize" (Olivier Le Cour Grandmaison, French historian). In Algeria entire tribes that had sought refuge in caves were "smoked out" ("enfumades"). The French colonel Lucien-Franï¿½ois de Montagnac wrote in a letter from Algeria in 1842: "We kill, we strangle. The cries of the desperate and dying mingle with the noise of the bellowing, bleating livestock…. "(3) The Islamic fundamentalism has evolved from the West's violent, imperialist policies. Although terrorism is wrong, the West and especially the United States has to some degree, provoked this. Look at your history, and you will see that the West have been more imperialist and violent than the East. "It is clear that Israel is intentionally slowly taking the West Bank and Gaza from the Palestinians. " Givat Ze'ev, Ma'ale Adumim, these are all names of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. You cannot deny this, it is fact. Please check my previous argument's sources if you do not believe me. The refugee numbers, also in my previous argument, are astounding. The United States MUST take an unbiased stance on this issue. The result must benefit both sides. Otherwise, peace is impossible. Thank you for reading. (1)Carter, Jimmy.
