I just saw a video at a “Destroy Israel” rally in London where a group of immigrants started berating a guy for wearing nail-polish. He should be careful what he wishes for.

This conflict really doesn’t have much of anything to do with that. The UK won’t become a Palestinian or Islamic state because the IDF kills fewer kids. Pal…[Read more]

They created that situation by becoming Muslim extremists and Jihadists. The West has to make a choice here…

The “West” doesn’t intervene on that basis. Not really. I mean, let’s get fucking real here. Even if we did, the slaughter of civilians isn’t the way to get from A to B. The more Gaza feels isolated, and the more deaths…[Read more]

@ Robert This attack was a long time coming. It’s been fueled by ongoing abuse of Palestinians, treating them inhumanely as subjects rather than citizens. Maybe Israel should apologize and pay reparations and then it should sue for peace.

How Delusional can a statement get, me wonders, LOL.

While it isn’t likely, i…[Read more]

Besides, the devil’s in the details as they say. What NOWADAYS (it’s not longer 1967) would satisfy both parties enough to result in signing on the dotted line?

The 1967 borders have been the goto for decades. I don’t think the issue is signing on the dotted line; it’s what follows after. One of the major issues is the idea that thi…[Read more]

Support waxes and wanes, but there are times where both Palestinians and Israelis showed majority support for a two-party solution…

Nearly every dang time I type ‘two party’ when I mean two-state.

So, you advocate for the destruction of Israel in favor of the Jihadist’s cause. Awesome

Are the Israelis in favor of the 2-state solution? No. Are the Palestinians pining for a 2-state solution? No.

You keep talking about “just/justice” as if that is a real thing. Grow up already. The Palestinians need to get in line with the billions, if not trillions of people who didn’t get “justice”, including 6 million murdered Jews.

If the holocaust were still happening, one would hope we would deem it unjust for it to continue.

If the Palestinians were clever, they would drop all arms, eschew all violence and elect a charismatic leader. Israel would have no grounds for their harsh policies and become the biggest pariah-nation on the planet.

Israel gains peace and Palestinians will gain true autonomy if the Palestinians take the peaceful, high road and stay with it.

Speaking as someone on the outside looking in, I agree.

For some reason I misread that. I thought you said if Israel takes the peaceful high road. While an end to extremism is desirable, of…[Read more]
