I am quite familiar with the history. And you are quite right that the seeds of this conflict were sown a long time ago, by people who probably shouldn't have been fucking around with it at all. But a big part of the history is also the observable fact that the Palestinians have repeatedly rejected a two state solution and even when more moderate factions engage in that discussion groups like Hamas throw a wrench into the works.
Meanwhile no matter how the past unfolded we cannot expect the Jews of Israel to simply slit their own throats and that of their children and throw themselves into the sea.
The only viable solution in my mind is diplomacy. But I think that will continue to fail until the Palestinians can get their extremists under control. To be sure Israel has extremists as well who will actively resist a two state solution. But Israel is a democratic society that is equipped to hear those voices without letting them rule by terror. And Israel's allies are prepared to bring pressure to bear on them.
As long as Hamas can derail any peace initiative by blowing someone up diplomacy will fail. They have to be eliminated then both sides need to be forced to the bargaining table by their citizens and their allies.
Then you know the Palestinians were promised one thing, and given another.
Terrorism stems from dissatisfaction or authoritarianism. Remove the cause the terrorism ends.
Where did I ever say to do that? I am pointing out this cycle needs to end. US and western policy needs to change, drastically.
Yep,but not by the west.
See my second answer,it's the same here.
No Hamas doesn't need to be eliminated, any more than the Israels. What needs to happen is the supporters of both need to be removed, the heads of both tried for crimes against Humanity. Then and only then can they move towards a negotiated peace.
Total BS!! You really do not understand the situation. I recommend looking things up before you write!
You have your opinion,and I have mine. Nothing I wrote is BS, it is an opinion. Look at the history, it doesn't lie.
If both sides don't pay a price, then one side will hate the other side that didn't pay a price. If both do pay a price, both sides members of the public are stuck who to hate? Plus if the penalties come from a third party, then you hate the third party, not the other side.
You are a shinning example of the hate. I am not saying it isn't deserved, but for you, nothing short of destroying Hamas, Hezbollah etc is going to satisfy you. The other side feels the exact same way.
Explain to me then, how you think permanent peace will be achieved. For an example of my opinion, look to Hitler and Stalin, and how Poland views the two.
Poland is your example? Seriously, some of the most anti-semitic people on earth!
All I am saying is that anti-semitism has reared its ugly head again, it was only dormant, and that is what this is all about. It's about killing Jews!! Full stop. I know that's perfectly acceptable for most people, but I don't have to like it or condone it. Many people are anti-semitic whether they realise it or not. Anti-semitism is alive and well, and really is abounding in the US. Plus in Europe, and IMHO it was never dead. So, okay guys let's go ahead and kill all the Jews.
Many solutions have been offered to the Arabs, but as stated above that is not their agenda. They simply want to kill all Israelis, as demonstrated on October 7th, or anyone associated with the Jews, and Israelis. Point for your information,which I'm sure you all know, since you all seem to know so much here, is that over 40 foreign workers, non-Jews were working on our farms and kibbutzim on our southern border on October 7th. They were either murdered or taken hostage. So yes we are forced to try and obliterate Hamas-ISIS.
There are so many examples of what HI is doing in Israel on the West Bank, through the Palestinian Authority, and I know you guys don't believe it. So, I won't bother to list them here, but I know nothing, only you guys know everything.
I invite you all to get on a plane and come and see!
Yes, we can all see by the back and forth sharing of opinions between myself and another eloquent person, and how much of an independent voice you are in this when you decide to jump in and ignore the history.There really is no point in responding to these twits. They have no idea what they are talking about. They are using wokeism to say that people who know the truth are bigoted, genocidal nazis, and all the rest of it. Plus the fact that they are extremely rude about it. They can't hold a reasonable discussion without making it personal. My advice just ignore them. IMHO they are Hamas-ISIS trolls!
