This is the reward you get when you start a war.

When you elect and support a government that is genocidal and who stated purpose is war with the neighbor, this is your reward. If you choose peace, decide to live together and tolerate each other, and throw out corrupt governments that insist on war, then the reward is an expanded economy, Prosperity, and peace.

Here you are again: "No, at least 1/3 of those are Hamas militants killed in a war. The rest are the tragic collateral damage from killing that 1/3 because Hamas is fighting from among their people and, instead of helping to keep their people safe, they willingly endanger them just so they can get folks like you to play the stupid games you are doing right now. " 37 minutes ago, eyeball said: I'm to busy criticizing the real root causes of the current outbreak of hostilities - Iran, Russia and China. And yet, you are repeatedly focused on Israel in this thread. It is only when I push you to criticize Hamas you deflect to Iran, Russia, and China. If that is the real root cause you are focused on, lets see you spend your time actually focused on them instead of blaming Israel and criticizing them as you are doing. 38 minutes ago, eyeball said: War making, peace keeping, humanitarian aid rinse and repeat for generations to come. This is a forever war. Then we support the quick and decisive destruction of the terrorist thugs doing it... Hamas. Quote

Probably the single worst act of geopolitical vandalism in the history of geopolitics given the sheer scope and scale of the blowback. And now we're leaving it to our grandkids to deal with. A real heritage we can all be proud of for sure. When Pakistan was created there were 800-1M Sikhs and Hindus slaughtered as well as 500K-700K muslims killed. About 15M people were displaced. It will take a lot of Oct 7ths and a lot of reprisals to get to 1.5M deaths. The total number of people killed in all of Israel's conflicts is around 150K. The only difference is that the muslims can't let go of the 500 deaths in 1948. The "nabka".

It's certainly not as simple as that though i understand why pro-israel people like to pretend it is. Quote Why so dramatic ,Nobody in Gaza is starving, or near starving.... The UN says there’s ‘full-blown famine’ in northern Gaza. Quote If palestinians are hungry it is because Hamas allows it... Israeli activists block Gaza-bound aid trucks Quote I think one has to remember a few key points here, One that Palestinians voted Hamas in during free elections...once in, they killed their political opponents, and have not had an election since...Got to be a red flag....Second the palestinian people seem alright with that as their has been no one group to stand up to them. even with Israel having Hamas on the ropes they the palestinian people still do not stand up and fight for their freedom...I know you don't have the answer.. Hard to stand up and fight when you don't have arms or food. Quote It seems almost everything that has been tried is not working, most try's have been total failures....and since they hate us anyways, why not some tough love...show them that the rest of the world is sick of their shit, and cut off the taps...or perhaps your one of those that prefers continuing on beating our heads against the wall hoping to get different results... If you think the world has been easy on the Palestinians you are simply not operating in reality. Quote

carepov Posted May 10, 2024 Report Posted May 10, 2024 (edited) On 5/7/2024 at 12:20 PM, impartialobserver said: The entire saga of the middle east centers on the establishment of a Muslim caliphate. As for Isreal.. the conflict all starts with the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The grudges in the middle east run long and deep. When the state of Israel was formed in 1948... the majority of the population in that geography were what? Arabs/Berbers... who were mostly Muslim and had been since roughly 1200. This is why the conflict keeps going and will always continue. This is much the same as the Europeans coming to what is now called the US and forcing the natives off the land. Only difference is that the Palestinians (arabs/berbers) are better equipped. The only difference? Really? 23 hours ago, impartialobserver said: The Palestinians and/or Arab-Berber population believe that they are in effect being colonized. It is not the body count of one war, one attack, one massacre. They focus on 1948 because that is the year that the Western nations imposed the State of Israel on them and essentially took their land and made them second-class citizens ( in their eyes). That is the long story made short. Now, should they get over it? Yes. Is Hamas and the state of palestine one in the same? No but there is enough overlap to correlate the two. What makes this messier than what you see on the surface is that the Muslim world (multiple nations and about 1 billion people) feels a sort of brotherhood with them. The population and leadership do not fully embrace the terrorist activities of Hamas but they tolerate it because they feel it may achieve a mutual goal.. a return to where they have all of the land. That is not going to happen. Without completely wiping out the population of one side or the other.. the only solution is where the palestinians put aside their grievances and move on. Just not sure what will make that happen. I would argue that this is what happened already in Israel with 2,000,000 Arab-Israelis living peacefully. I've been asking myself: Why is it that, in the only Jewish country in the world, 2,000,000 Arabs (or Palestinians) live peacefully and prosperously (better than most Arabs in other countries), while there are almost no Jewish people able to live in Arab or Muslim countries?

This is of vital importance in the whole subject. The Jews are one of the only ethnic groups that survived in spite of everything that happened to them in the world in the past several thousand years. That alone is a kind miracle. They have also been the target of hatred by much of the world during the past 2,000 years and a third of them were killed off by the Nazis in the Holocaust. In spite of all that has happened, they miraculously re-established the state of Israel in 1948. But they know they must continue to fight for their survival. 100% unrelated to my posts.

The gap can not get any wider than it is today....They can claim whatever they want... here are some sources that disagree...it depends on what they take into account such as written text, verbal content, etc... https://www.oldest.org/religion/religions/ https://www.britannica.com/story/which-religion-is-the-oldest Judaism dates to about 1800 BC and muslim starts in roughly 870 AD. However, the conflict is this. The arab/berber population dates back to about 3150 BC. In the time between 3150 and now.. the majority of the population has been arab//berber/canaanite with their religion being Islam after about roughly 1000 AD. The Jews were not the majority for the overwhelming majority of the time especially from roughly 1000 to 1920. So the Palestinians (or Arabs) are feeling that they are being colonized by Europeans. Israel came into existence because Europe forced it upon them. I am a pragmatist at heart and would say that you just get over it and move on. Israel is not going to stop existing nor are the Jews going to leave. Make the best of what you have now but that's not how they view it. as for other nations... other muslim nations have shown over and over again that while their nations may differ in name and geography, they feel a greater kinship based on them being Islam. It is much like the southern states abide by this. Edited May 10, 2024 by impartialobserver Quote
