War

Israel will eventually have them. it'll take a while, and it won't be unanimous either. there are actually people here in the US that feel bad about the Native Americans treatment & the US slave trade. not enough for the nation as a whole to give THEIR land back to them though, or pay provable descendants any reparations. and i don't want to hear "but, that was so LONG ago, and Israel is doing it NOW...." (want cheese with that whine?) someone else will be doing it in the future, too. doesn't make it right, but it WILL happen. count on it.

Based on the history of reparations, it’s unlikely anyone alive today will see it happen.

i agree. and not much better odds of the Cherokee, Seminoles, Comanche, nor Palestinians getting all of their ancestral lands back either. according to estimates, around 90% (or 55 million people) of our Native peoples here died as a direct result of European colonization/western expansion of the US. SHOULD they ? in a fair and perfect world, yes. will they ?

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish moral equivalence from moral cowardice.

Do so as you see fit...

I see two sides of a bloody conflict.

Don't worry...

I've already been informed about "death to Israel" not being violent or genocidal.

 

[JKD]

Why are you conflating the mass killing of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians with ‘Death to Israel’?

Why are you posting in a thread that you don't read?

Why are you posting in a thread in which you hold no position?

I think you missed a whole bunch of stuff.

Maybe you should start back at the beginning...

I see. When it seems you’re replying to me specifically, you’re actually replying to someone else with a different viewpoint to mine pages and pages ago.
I apologise for my misunderstanding.
This tête-à-tête is obviously not going anywhere, and I’ll extract myself from it.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I suppose that's fair enough.

Many people would wait for clarification.

Just drop your rifle and run.

I’m just reluctant to challenge an unarmed man to a battle of wits.

I’ve been arguing against the committing of war crimes don’t you know.

Take care now
