"yeah the arabs joining forces didnot work in the 60,s or was it the 70's.. but this time may be different!!!... this time muslims are seeing the attrocities on tv, its a gut-turning event my friend.. the Isreals are the most cruel society in the history of mindkind.. even our Qur'an says so.. you cannot trust Yahuud, and you cannot expect kindness from YAHUUD because its in their nature to massacre you.. they aint human.. they aint just human.. they probably belong to the same clan as habr gidr"
Don't you think you are over-reacting here. In WW II the Germans collectively and deliberately murdered tens of millions of people. They killed 7 million Poles and intended to kill a lot more, but ran out of time. They killed 13 million Russians, over half of whom were civilians. They enslaved millions more from across Europe. They killed 6 million Jews, 500,000 Roma, I could go on, but you get the point. These were deliberate, ruthless killings of civilians. How do you possibly compare what is happening in the Middle East with what happened then?
The Khmer Rouge, Mao Tse Tungs reign of terror, Stalins purges......what is happening in the Middle East is nothing compared to those.
The Palestinians have had it rough, but let's face it, much of that was of their own making. They didn't even begin to talk peace until 1994. Even now they have no concrete offer on the table.
Lastly, no, things are not different. The Arabs are what they have been for hundreds of years, tehcnologically inferior. Even when they had the supreme upper hand, in 1948, when the Israelis could only field 16,000 soldiers, had no military support from America or Europe (that's right, none) and were fighting five Arab armies, the Arabs STILL got clobbered. So obviously the Israelis are not going to lose now. It just doesn't matter what the Ummah does, it can not defeat Israel. So it needs to look at what kind of a deal can be reached and how, because violence isn't working now and won't work in the future.
