Nice. And even courageous.

yep

Not quite what Pete Seeger had in mind, but the first thing that popped into mine:

Israel is at the very best a bully. That the USA continues to support them in that behavior is unconscionable, I believe. Of course Hamas is at the very best a thug. The whole Middle East is a suppurating boil that, if the metaphor were a bit more useful, should be lanced, washed out, and treated with anti-hate dressings.

Everyone gets that this is a reference to the ongoing illegal Israeli settlements being place on Palestinian land, right?

Now all they have to do is move the Israelis out and let all they refugees live there.

“25 Things I Have Learned In 50 Years”, by Dave Barry (1997)

#7. They can hold all the peace talks they want, but there will never be peace in the Middle East. Billions of years from now, when Earth is hurtling toward the Sun and there is nothing left alive on the planet except a few microorganisms, the microorganisms living in the Middle East will be bitter enemies.

The Israelis are literally taking the HOMES from Palestinian families, based on writings written thousands of years ago about legends that came from oral traditions, not proven facts. Generations of killing and warfare based on mythology.

Zionism at work, whatever was Israel’s still is centuries later regardless of who is living there now. JHVH gave it to them taken from the Canaan’s by their vengeful deity. This is why even secular Jews like it and other Jews who don’t.

As Faisal with T.E. Lawrence in London after WW I told the Zionist leader, Arab and Jew are of one tribe, Semite, and brothers, therefore a two state solution in Palestine after removal of the Ottomans, is the sensible thing, without fighting. Balfour and the Peel Commission agreed and drew up boundaries. The Zionist extremists, like Netanyahu today, have never accepted that viable truth.

Neither have the individual Palestinians even been paid for the homes lost and the lands taken away.

The above “forever war” is the U.S.’ as well. We keep selling the Israelis all the weapons they want.

It might help the Israelis if they understood that El did not give them Canaan. There is and was never a promised land. Like 40 days, it is a myth. El, of course, is the chief god of the Canaanites. That fellow promoted to the only God by a group of Cannaaites that became the Jewish people.

And 1 more smart a** thing. I think if science were to do DNA studies of both the Palestinians and Israelis each people would find 2nd and 3rd cousins on the “other side.” They are both related I’m sure. Look at the whole mess as a family squabble. Sorta like the Hatfields n’ McCoys.

So very sad :-(

Weren’t the Arabs going to throw the Israelis into the sea in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973?

All religions are mythology
