First up-Larry king and that one lady who hosts "God's warriors"8:00-9:00"
second-"God's warriors:Islam" 9:00-10:00.
I watched the first one, about Judaism, and it more or less blew my mind away. My understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict has been turned upside down. Here are some lackluster notes i took.
[QUOTE]God’s warriors-Judaism
This program redfined my understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict..it appears, that not only is there infighting within the arab factions, but between Jews as well.....
*Several jews planned to use a bomb-filled truck to destroy a palestinian girl’’s school in east jerusalem, but they were caught by israeli police.
*A dispute over nine houses that were part of an illegal settlement resulted in a full-scale melee between Zionist Protestors and Government riot police, each side numbering in the thousands...oddly enough, no one was killed.
*Rabin, an israeli general wanting to negociate a peace deal with Egypt, was shot to death by another jew who believed that he was selling them out to the Arabs.
*On the topic of settlers, it appears as though Israeli civilians sometimes desire to create settlements in occupied areas, against the rules of the geneva conventions..This is an objective driven by Zionism and religious zeal. Normally, settlers will attempt to make settlements to block off Arabs from building there, in a kind of strange religious tic-tac-toe. Naturally, they are aware this is against the law, and settlers can often be found carrying weapons.
*As one educated in the subject would expect, there is an extremely active pro-israel lobby in america, and in some circles, Zionists ally themselves with Evangelical christians.
*Jimmy Carter was an activist for the Palestinian cause, but many saw him as an Anti-semite. He unsuccessfully tried to pass legislation that would limit the expansion of jewish settlements
