Thanks for the video Cap.

Yes, this is an alternative view, and one can argue - a very valid view.

Some very good points, and some very serious questions raised.

Such as:

Who's interest would peace serve more? The Arabs or Jews?

Who out of the 2 has a genuine hatred for the other? Arabs or Jews?

Would it be the same reason, why some on this forum have similar hatred for the Jew, a hatred not unlike that of the Third Reich? Is it because they are "Christ killers"? Are some here not only homophobes but disgusting racist cretins to boot? Kurubellos and Yialoser, I am talking to you!

Let's talk about morals shall we? Are the Jews immoral for wanting to survive? If we were Jews, would we not do the same?

we must rememeber too it was not just the Israelis who participated in the total destruction of the Palestinian State but also the Jordanians, who occupied Palestinian lands in the West Bank and Egypt who took the Paestinian state lands in the Gaza Strip, in 1948.

Yes very good point.

Also, I suppose it is very easy to get on one's high horse and judge the Israelis rather harshly from the comfort of our sofa from within middle class suburbia. Afterall, it is fashionable to be "Liberal" and it does have a good feel factor to it, but how many actually know what they are talking about, and how many of those so called "liberals" are in fact anti semitic zealots in disguise?

Do you think that is a ridiculous question? I don't seem to think so, because they walk among us! They are here on this very forum. I know of 2 just off the top of my head. And they are no better than Himmler and we are supposedly in the 21st century.

i got a confession to make and i make no apologies. now that israel is with cyprus, i'm with the jews.

i live in north london; there are lots of jews and cypriots round here. and, i gotta tell you, i like doing business with jewish people.

i know where i stand with them. yes, they drive a hard bargain. yes, they look out for number one. but they work hard. they're efficient, they have integrity, intelligence, vision and respect. they look out for those they trust.

i got a feeling they really value the opportunity to have cypriots as friends. we understand each other. we're on the same wavelength.

Yes indeed.

This is hardly the bio of a menacing butcher of a race. But many anti semites would disagree.

I have a similar story to tell.

When in Cyprus, I was looking to buy my Yiayias old home, purely for sentimental reasons which my father had sold to a Cypriot. The house was worth about 180,000Euros tops. Village gossip got the better of me, and the new owner wanted 300,000+. I offered 280,000 just to see if the guy would accept, and he didn't. Now I keep getting calls to see if I am still interested. I followed on other leads, from Cypriot vendors, who quite frankly had very brutal unrealistic expectations as to their properties value.

I ended up buying from a Brit. And I got to say, even though I am Cypriot, I actually prefer doing business with Brits. They have integrity, intelligence, vision and respect. I can't say the same about Cypriots whenever a Euro is at stake. Unfortunately! But that is the truth from my eyes and from my personal experience.

I am still after my Yiayias house btw, but I am going to wait for the GFC to drive prices down even more, and then I am going back na tou kano ton manga! :lol:

perhaps ur getting 'cypriots' confused with 'greek cypriots'.

i expect the people u were dealing with were the latter. real cypriots are the most honourable people on the planet, and including brits and jews.

Yes very true.

Didn't mean to generalise (easy to do sometimes). To be honest, I only dealt with 3-4 Cypriots, who generally tried to drive an extremely hard bargain.

Yes got to agree. Cypriots are wonderful. A most honourable people. And I love my village. I feel like I am where I belong.
