Greed is the self-serving desire for the pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It is generally considered a vice, and is one of the seven deadly sins in Catholicism.

Where were these people when the Africans were dying? When the Chinese were sluaghtered? When the South Ossetians and Georgians spilled blood? They where in their houses not giving a #. Oh, but when they hear Jews then the masses cannot control themselves. They take to the streets in the name of peace and love for the poor Palestinians. They shout, "stop killing innocents Israel!" "Stop murdering children Israel!" You know what they are really thinking... down with the Jews....down with the Jews....
Now we know how Hitler gained power. The Jews are the chosen people. Chosen to be hated forever...such a sad story.

I am against this war, but I am also against beating people up just because they are Jews. This is not right just like killing innocent civilians in Palestine is not right.
That being said, if I had lost a relative in Gaza and I saw a pro-war protest, I do not know how I would react.

Now, what is sad is that we have people like you (Possibly Jewish) that can't see the big picture of what unsolicited and unacceptable thought patterns can turn into.
Drop the whole religion thing in this onsloght of events from the very beginning and you are left with no "Disagreements" to be argued about or nothing left to fight over.
Death of the "Innocent" is happening on both sides due to a "Malfunction" of "Humanitarianism" on both sides, Me, Me, Me, I, I, I, whole thing is BS, but for the innocent ones being killed, on both sides, that is on their shoulders.

Yes 9-11, the London train bombings, and the Spain train bombings. But how long did that last... and did the whole world blow up like in the case of Gaza. It has always been this way for Jews. I think Nietzsche understood the best. You cannot deny history nor ignorance but in the case of the Jews it seems this is quite possible over and over again. And even on this forum..
In July of 2004, the severe beating of Rajinder Singh Khalsa outside of a New York City restaurant received wide coverage. Khalsa is president of an organization intended to promote awareness of the Sikh faith and wears the traditional beard and saroop. He suffered a broken nose from the attack, among other injuries. Other cases occurring over the past four years include the smashing of a Sikh man's convenient store windows and the theft of an American flag from a Sikh-owned gas station. Days after the 9/11 attacks, Sikh gasoline station owner Balbir Singh Sodhi was fatally shot by Frank Roque in Mesa, Arizona. Rogue was eventually sentenced to death for the murder.
I mean, look at their little tiny country that defeated a war against what, seven nations, just after it's creation.
The archeological record indicates that the Jewish people evolved out of native Cana'anite peoples and invading tribes. Some time between about 1800 and 1500 B.C., it is thought that a Semitic people called Hebrews (hapiru) left Mesopotamia and settled in Canaan. Canaan was settled by different tribes including Semitic peoples, Hittites, and later Philistines, peoples of the sea who are thought to have arrived from Mycenae, or to be part of the ancient Greek peoples that also settled Mycenae.
This very brief account is intended as a balanced overview and introduction to Palestinian and Israeli history, and the history of the conflict. It is unlikely that anyone has written or will write an "objective" and definitive summary that would be accepted by everyone, but it is hoped that this document will provide a fair introduction.

So far it sounds much like what happened in America after 9-11 in regard to anyone who might be middle eastern.
Maybe it really isnt just about being Jewish, maybe people lash out at groups they think are harming them and really dont take the time to consider that just because someone looks like someone who has harmed them, or has the same culture as someone who has harmed they, it isnt fair to lump them all together. In fact, Israel is doing exactly the same thing, (lashing out indiscriminately) in Palestine.
Maybe it isnt about the Jews, maybe its just a human failing that we do not take the time to ensure our aggression is well placed. (ie; directed against those and only those who are actually causing the problems.)

Take it easy, in Europe the odd Jew will die, but in Gaza, the Jews kill entire children's schools. The UN would shout if Hamas had taken over their school, so that is another Jew lie. Hezbollah was funded by Israel in the 80s becsude that means that the Jews don't have to do business. Face the facts despite the guff, In the middle east the Jews kill the Arabs 3 to 1 and the odd car bomb is not really a problem. Cholera in the Pslestine is not a probem, because the Jews have drunk all their water.....
