Well, that doesn't sound like speaking for the victims.
I believe in a 2-state solution. I guess that means I do not agree with Israel or Hamas.
Do you think that's possible with a player like Hamas on the field - and by saying "Israel's very existence" are you blaming them for existing?
I don't think it's very likely with players like Hamas and Israel on the field. But, with international pressure, it could happen. If countries stop kowtowing to Israel it might happen.
How about return the land seized during the 1967 war (even though the war was the result of Egyptian provocations) and allow Jordan and Egypt jurisdiction of that land? Would that fix it in your view?
Certainly they should return the land seized in 1967. I don't know enough about the history and the current situation to say who should have jursidiction. Or to say what else should be done. But Israel has been a brutal colonizer, and they have to stop that shit now.
Well, if they return the land then the Egypt returns to Egypt, and the West Bank to Jordan. Then "Palestinians" will be their problem.
Yeah. Well,I don't think making Palestinians someone else's problem is a humane solution to this barbaric bullshit.
Exactly - the only REAL solution is the total destruction of Israel - then peace will reign.
The only real solution, I believe, is a secular democracy in Gaza, Israel and the West Bank without Jewish supremacy over Muslims and Christians. I don't think extreme elements among the Jewish Israelis or Muslims will accept it.
How is that in any way what I said? You sound like The Countess, claiming I approve of killing babies.
Well, my point being that since Israel isn't going to be driven into the sea as the lovely saying goes, and no progress can be made with Hamas on the field, wouldn't it be better if Hamas was obliterated? I linked an article recently that suggests the people of Gaza have had enough of them using the people as pawns and being self serving.
Sadly, when you are dealing with cultural and spiritual primitives like muslims all you get to is 1.0 or maybe 0.1 mindset.
...and I should also add that this is what you get when you steal or covet other people's resources, and don't learn lessons from past mistakes - like fighting a war and fucking things up, then instead of pivoting away from dependence on those resources, yield to political pressure from greedy oil companies then get embroiled in conflict after conflict until 30+ years later you're involved in yet another ME crisis. 30+ years of the monkey waving the gun around and blasting away and no one willing to take it away. Really, it's more like 75 years, but just thinking back to 1991, our "leaders" didn't say, we got to get away from fossil fuel dependence and fast, and doooo something about it. Fucking assholes.
OMG. Have you ever known any Muslims?
Many, dear - even worked for one who regarded me as a friend. You?
Yes. I am surprised you think you can make a blanket statement like that about Muslims. If they were all as you say, there would be many millions of people dead at their hands currently.
You seem to be saying two opposing things in your post. Do you mean the US is the monkey who needs the gun taken away? I agree.
See that's just the point, miss. A general statement about common characteristics of a group is not a critique of each individual. Only a very black and white thinker would think so. Cultures have prominent feature/mores etc, which can not be applied w/o fail to each individual in it, and yet in describing the broader demographic they can be.
A general comment about huge popultions of people is a cheap shot, and very immature. It's generally called "stereotyping" and is anti-intellectual as well as being heartless. Just saying, sweetie pie.
I was commenting on their kleptomania and lack of insight/foresight for sure. But the monkey/gun was referring to the outcome of that foolishness by giving high technology to people who are culturally in the stone age. You know how to read. You know what I wrote.
I'll remind you next time you say Americans this, or conservatives that etc.. And speaking of which why don't you ever take me to task when I say conservatards this or that? I do it all the time.
