ParticipantThe Galil is interesting to me because I’m a lefty but like many I got used to doing many things right-handed. I tried an AK once and was impressed, it fully penetrated a 2′ oak tree stump like butter. Definitely something I’d want around in a post-apocalyptic zombie battle but for now I got rid of it.

ParticipantAllen my wife grew up Honduras as a missionary kid. After heading to college the family did a few years in Panama City and finished up in Guatemala for the last 5 years before retiring. As an aside she took my sons on a trip to Guatemala City around ’99 which made me a little nervous.. but I digress.
Anyway, what they tell me is that there are many high society (bankers, etc.) types in that region that are Palestinian and Lebanese Christians who fled the middle east. According to my in-laws these folks tend to hate Israel probably more than they do the Islamic nations.
Now I always assumed this to be the case, because it doesn’t seem like they’d make that up. In reading your information about others that are there, are some of these places soon to be hotbeds of more violent activity? Or is the Palestinian and Lebanese Arab influence not as large as they might have thought. On the surface there would seemingly be some incompatibilities there, however if the Mossad types are not as involved in the day-to-day life of those nations I suppose everything will be fine.

ParticipantI’m no expert and I deserve backlash for this comment if it is wrong but I see Palestinians as unsophisticated tools that are too easily used by greater powers (mainly Syria and Iran). Palestinians seem emotional and patriotic to whatever cause seems right at the moment. Give ’em a gun, give ’em a cause, and send them over to whomever you dislike. The Palestinians have long suffered from being used as such. They’ve got heart but really need good leadership to guide them away from being the pawns of the anti-Israeli world. The only people who profit from this conflict are weapons suppliers and war mongers.
Jordanians and Lenabese have slaughtered more Palestinians and stolen more land from the Palestinians than the Israelis but you don’t hear about this often. Who would you guess has killed the most Palestinians?
A. Israelis
B. Lebanese
C. Jordanians
D. PalestiniansJanuary 2, 2008 at 4:00 PM #128102nostradamus
