I don't know, maybe 5% of the Jewish contribution?

Eh. For several centuries, Europe was a backwards shithole and the Muslim world was where most math/astronomy was developed, AFAIK.

[/ QUOTE ]


Yeah, his statement is seriously messed up. The Arabs were focusing on math and science while Europeans were focusing on crusades, inquisitions, and church dogma. If I remember correctly they created the number representation for zero. They had a profound effect on math and science.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, let's play a little game. For every world-class Muslim/Arab mathematician you name, I'll list ten Jewish.

GO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Shouldn't your list then be limited to Jewish/Israeli's? Seems you are confusing religion with ethnicity. If you did it for "Muslim" mathematicians, the list grows two-fold. As a whole, the Middle East region is home to both the Israelites and current day Persians and Arabs. So the Middle East region has contributed more to the sciences than all other regions of the world combined. I am often confused as to why being a religion somehow has become some kind of ethnicity.

I can't remember if it was some talking heads on TV or a blog, but I have heard the speculation that the main goal at Annapolis is for the Bush administration to find some Arab allies against Iran.

My solution to the Israel-Arab peace process?
1. Israel invades Gaza and Arab controlled areas of the West Bank and annexes the land.
2. Take away the citizenship of all Arabs inside Israel.
3. Relocate all Arabs inside Israel and dump them on the borders of Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon. Let their Arab brothers give them sanctuary.
4. Drink a beer for a job well done... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
5. Endure the occasional rocket attacks accross the borders but launch occasional cross border attacks to kill these scum.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, Felix, seeing as
1. Already Israel occupies (militarily, Felix, and not through force of ..argument) the West Bank --and bombs Gaza daily--
2. Already most Arabs "inside Israel" do NOT have Israeli citizenship (the Israeli PM warned last week of the dangers of ethnic dirtying)
3. Most Palestinians already live in exile from their homeland, which used to be where Israel now is,
we are left with the beer drinking.

Re: Another Stupid Peace Initiative for Israel/Arabs
 
Why are the ethnic cleansing proponents saying that plan doesn't involve killing Palestinians? Do you really think the Palestinians would take that lying down? Any Israeli plan to remove the Muslim inhabitants would immediately lead to a Civil War that would make the Intifada look like Selma. Also, I hope that no one tries to argue that the Palestinians should take it lying down.

Also, keep in mind that the primary way an Army has to cause a mass civilian flight is to instill fear in the population. The most common way to do this is to commit massive War Crimes. Think Srebrenica.

Re: Another Stupid Peace Initiative for Israel/Arabs
 
I really think we can ignore the OPs ridiculous ideas about expelling the arabs from Israel/territories - its simply never going to happen, couldnt happen, israelis wouldnt let it happen.

Its not something that is even remotely considered by Israeli so whats the point in talking about it here?

So your arguament is that Arab states have always wanted peace with Israel because they have always been defeated when they try to destroy Israel? Not sure you have thought this through.

The arab states have always wanted to destroy Israel. How is that even in doubt? After they lost the 2 major wars, yes, they realised that they couldnt get the job done in a purely military campaign. That certainly did not mean they wanted peace with Israel and their actions and words have been entirely consistent with this. If you seriously believe that the arab states want nothing more than peace with Israel you must be either delusional or ignorant.

Jordan does have a peace agreement and relations are ok, however they are the exception. Egypt has a peace treaty too, but this only ensures that the two countries do not get into another full scale war again (which helps Egypt more than Israel). Egypt still publishes horriffic anti-semitism in its official press and continues to allow the smuggling of men, arms and explosives to Hamas via their border. They are basically protected from Israeli reaction, but are happy to support (morally and in practice) Israels enemies. Egypt made the deal to recover lost territory and Israel got "recognition" in return - big deal. Its a very, very cold peace (something I would, of course, take over a state of war) but Egypts recognition of Israel is basically meaningless.

This is nonesense. There are many very complex reasons as to why the arab states dont want or need peace with Israel. They know Israel will not invade their countries and are able to support Israels enemies in their attacks on Israel without having to use their own armies. It is simply a change in strategy born of the realisation that they wouldnt win in conventional warfare against Israel. Many of the regimes that are in charge in the arab world need a perpetual state of war with Israel for their own domestic political needs.
