It's neither lame, nor a backtrack.

You need to prove what I intended is what you claim. You cannot, because there is nothing to substantiate your claim. You made a lame assumption based on your political bias. Deal with it.

My concern is about the innocents getting killed. So far, that makes the Palestinians the majority, but by no means an exclusive group.

Evacuate the people, poison the land so no one can return.

Given that people have fought over this land since the Romans left (and probably prior to that as well), maybe Jerusalem and the disputed territories (not all of Israel) need to be run by a mini-UN, made up of Christian, Jewish and Muslim representatives in equal numbers. Nothing would ever get done, but it'd probably work as an easy ceasefire.

^ uh, yeah, a little earlier than when the Romans left, that's kinda the whole point.

I just find that typically, two areas get the same response:

Criticising the US foreign policy leads to getting called 'USA bashing', and criticising Israel gets one labelled as anti-semitic/a terrorist.

This kind of deflection was a trademark cornerstone of communist/fascist governments which the two parties mentioned above expressed an intense dislike of, yet they readily adopted the same tactics.

Until Palestine recognizes Israel as a state their will be no peace. Thats sums it up everything else is antics.

By giving Jews a homeland after WW2? Yeah, real bad thing to do. It's like people bitching that the British are responsible for the India-Pakistan conflict. Pardon the British for giving the Muslims their own country!

No, well before that. Click the link and read the timeline. They started supporting and backing building a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917.

Good clip. Israel though I think used the death of 3 hitchhikers though to go in cause in my theory Hamas has been arming up and getting ready for something bigger considering whats going on in the region. Israel the only democracy in the area is up against the first caliphate in centuries. Also cause of the power vacuum there is now a corridor for Iran to fight Israel.

My focus though is on Syria...thats the lynchpin. If Assad goes down Its WW3.

Shit be gettin biblical!
