Mr Allen   0 #63 Posted May 15, 2021 That part of the world has always been, and always will be, volatile, in fact I'm surprised it hasn't erupted to WWIII already.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
butlers   261 #64 Posted May 15, 2021 The IDF back to killing the messenger again. The Associated Press building in Gaza destroyed in bombing. From memory in previous conflicts they also killed two BBC. journalists. One killing was recorded as murder in a London Court the Isrealis took no action against accused.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Thorpist   72 #65 Posted May 15, 2021 ".Islamist religious fanatics on one side and Orthodox Jewish religious fanatics on the other." Until people stop believing religious nonsense this conflict will continue. Add into the mix the arms dealers who thrive on conflict it seems an impossible thing to fix. As for right and wrong both sides twist the truth for their own ends  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think you will find the politicians do not take action against Israel is because of the power of Jewish money, especially in the USA.

Sort it, or live with it.  I think the Israelis and the Palestinians will have to live with it, because no one is willing to sort it. The forced eviction of Palestinians from their home because a Jewish family fancies their house was bound to start trouble.  Justify that in any other part of the world.  So on one hand we have the arrogance of authority, on the other a deliberate ploy to rack up the pressure on other states in the area to weigh in on their side.  I am very gloomy as to the outcome.  (I have no religious or cultural connections on either side....) The Israeli threat of encroaching on someone else's property seems like provocation, intentionally to start a war? It only turns other countries against them when they see the destruction of whole families. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

When you say "back in the day", when exactly do you mean? Looking at the history of Palestine there have been skirmishes, battles and so on since well before Christ.
