It appears that they are so concerned with the afterlife that this current one has no value to them what-so-ever.
What “current one”? The one where they are oppressed and humiliated? The one where they’re crammed in open-air prisons? Where everyone has been terrorized by IDF raids as a child? Where every last one of them has lost a loved one because of the occupation? Where they have no food, water or prospects for the future?
You can be the most secular on the planet and, if the conditions are right, you will still consider sacrificing your pitiful existence for the sake of your community. It ain’t got much to do with afterlife in this case, as much as it is about the lack of a decent life down here.[/quote]
As usual Lixy you have ignored the role that islam plays in the circle of violence. Unlike the muslim Palestinians, the Christian Palestinians are not all hell bent on killing Jews. The muslims have no remorse about killing Jews and dragging the Christians into their bullshit. Because that is what the religion of islam teaches, violent predjudice towards Jews and Christians.
