How can you really claim that I was "diverting" .
You made up a simplistic hypothetical situation for myself and asked how I would react .
I suggested that we dont make-up hypothetical situations and stick to what really is happening .
I suggested that we stay on-topic, if anyone was diverting, it was you.
What gives me a laugh is how the news coverage is now about how trump has pissed off the entire ME outside of Israel.
It's a great example of how the US government is working now.
I wonder if this is hastening Tillerson's departure.
No. the point, my point, was how can you condemn Palestinain freedom fighters when you refuse to empathise?
Doh! We were talking in the context of the 1940's!!
Now we have a declared religiously based state that is stealing neighbouring lands because it has the support of the powerful US.
Jews were living on that land, as they had been continuously for 2500 years , as had other people .
The land was under Turkish rule for 400 years and then British rule for 20 years , when the British left, the U.N decided to split the Country between the Jews and the Palestinians , as the Palestinan rejected their land, which included the west Bank, that land was taken over by Jordan, Jordan then relinquished rule over that land, rendering it vacant, Israel stepped in an took it .
Over 50 % of the West banks land had no owners, it was Government land, Israel took some of it
The Israel created by Europeans and which displaced the natives.
The Israel that decided it would take over lands that were not apportioned to "Israel".
So, what of the natives, and what of Israel's current, for the last 50 years, oppressing the natives, stealing their orchards and water?
^ Haha, good one and accurate.
More wrong things .
Israel was created by the U.N. The whole World voted .
No Palestinians in Israel were displaced, they were all given Israeli citizenship , there are now 1 million Palestinian Arabs living happily in Israel . Israel proper that is, not the west bank or gaza

Burn baby burn. Protests aka riots across the mid east are well under way. The divider in chief has set off a shit storm. What an ignorant asshole he is. He won't be so fucking cocky when his ill thought out action comes back to bite the US in the ass with more terrorist attacks. More fuel for terrorist recruiters. Smooth move Exlax.

Recently, I have posted here a link to documentary of Al Jazeera about Swedish Count Bernadotte who had mediated the Israel - Palestine problems.
Folke Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg (2 January 1895 – 17 September 1948) was a Swedish diplomat and nobleman. During World War II he negotiated the release of about 31,000 prisoners from German concentration camps including 450 Danish Jews from the Theresienstadt camp. They were released on 14 April 1945.[1][2][3] In 1945, he received a German surrender offer from Heinrich Himmler, though the offer was ultimately rejected.
After the war, Bernadotte was unanimously chosen to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in the Arab–Israeli conflict of 1947–1948. He was assassinated in Jerusalem in 1948 by the militant Zionist group Lehi while pursuing his official duties. Upon his death, Ralph Bunche took up his work at the UN, but was removed from the post around six months after Bernadotte was assassinated, at the critical period of recognition of the fledgling state.
Bernadotte wrote that: "in putting forward any proposal for the solution of the Palestine problem, one must bear in mind the aspirations of the Jews, the political difficulties and differences of opinion of the Arab leaders, the strategic interests of Great Britain, the financial commitment of the United States and the Soviet Union, the outcome of the war, and finally the authority and prestige of the United Nations."[30]
Bernadotte was assassinated on Friday 17 September 1948 by members of the armed Jewish Zionist group Lehi (commonly known as the Stern Gang or Stern Group).
It is alleged that a three-man 'center' of Lehi had approved the killing: Yitzhak Yezernitsky (the future Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Shamir), Nathan Friedmann (also called Natan Yellin-Mor) and Yisrael Eldad (also known as Scheib). A fourth leader, Emmanuel Strassberg (Hanegbi) was also suspected by the Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of being part of the group that had decided on the assassination.

Jerusalem: for the first time in all the long years of the American century we now have in the White House a reckless and ignorant American President. The world is an even more dangerous place tonight.

The main aim of the Israelie people is to rebuild the Jewish Temple that Solomon originally built back in the same exact place in Jerusalem .
Trouble is, a Mosque is squatting on the mount.
exactly, and the good news is that once it's rebuilt, the real Jesus Christ will come to earth and kill everyone
fucking awesome![]()
