I don’t consider myself anti-Israel in any sense. I understand the arc of history, personalities and happenstance that led to the creation of Israel. I understand the religious factors as well, and though I find religion to be about as useful to mankind as anthrax, I can not deny the reality of religion in the world. I understand the value of Jewish Identity and the unfortunate historical nexus of Christianity and Islam and Judaism. I do not blame the Jewish people for what the Christians did to them or what Islam is doing to them now. I understand why, though, whether I like it or not. It is simply reality. I understand why Israel must maintain a demilitarized West Bank and Gaza. I understand why Israel must continue to control the Golan Heights. I understand why Israel must fight to keep nuclear arms out of the hands of it’s neighboring despots, juntas, aristocracies, and theocracies. I understand how frustrating it must be to the Israelis that the Palestinians continue to use violence to try to reach their aims. It’s just so intensely stupid, pointless, and counter-productive. If the Palestinians could just behave peacefully, Israel and Palestine could co-exist – they could even be one! But I also understand that it is in the existential political interest of the kleptocratic scumbag kingdoms that surround Israel to keep Palestine destablized. It’s just a horrible situation. I understand all this.
Here’s what I don’t understand: Why does Israel continue to settle the West Bank? I really just don’t understand that.

Not a word. Amazing.

Cuz weve heard it all before.
” If the Palestinians could just behave peacefully, Israel and Palestine could co-exist – they could even be one!”
I mean really, if you’re that delusional to think that after all these years they can actually be one whats the point in talking to you ?
Anyone with any comprehension of reality to even the furthest extremes of individual perceptions obviously has the ability to think.
Thats should be enough to know that these jerks will never behave.
Ya know why ?
Because they never ever have.
But hey, go ahead and “Hope” for “Change”, pray that Obama will give Hamas another 900 million bucks all you want because thats the one thing thats prolonged this way beyond its course causing hundreds of thousands to die.
“Not a word. Amazing”
To the contrary its not those who dont answer you who have a problem and you sure as hell havent cornered anyone into the position of not having an answer.
You just dont like the answer.
