Shouldn't this be titled the Hamas and Zionist thread?

I don't like you throwing into the mix the people who don't perpetrate the hate.

Our school's MUN won't let us debate about the Question of the State of Palestine because our principal is Jewish. True story.

i'm with mr forman here - we don't need tons of threads on what essentially is one debate.

mind you could say that about a couple of topics here, it's just that this one is one that it happens to most, as it turns into a. a historical debate on who was here first and who deserved what and who committed what terrorist act against who or b. claims about one's side terrorist, unjustified or otherwise overly belligirent activity.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

The first time it was attempted it became too confusing because Israel/Palestine generates so many distinct issues and news stories that you couldn't tell where the thread started or ended. It's like making a catch-all thread entitled 'Economic Matters'. It would fall flat on its face. An Israel/Palestine subfolder might work, mind you.

It does often get reduced to the same old argument - but that's why Israel-Palestine topics that diverge too much after a few pages should simply be closed, unless the topic specifically relates to that discussion.

Hey guys, give it a chance.

Instead of pouting that " my post got deleted, why didnit his " use the report function. protip; don't report a violation of the rules if two posts down yours does the same thing.

I frankly don't care if it has been tried before, how about not being the one that wrecks it this time?

So... lets talk about it.

I wish they'd both blow up. I'm sick of hearing the debate tbh. Iran might take a step in that direction pretty soon. Which would result in US intervention, which would result in Iran getting flattened, which would spark off a bunch of other shit.

In the end, just do away with Palestine and Isreal to begin with and save the rest of the world a bunch of hassle.

Thoughts? Opinions?

lol

quite, these idiots have been fighting over that god-forsaken strip of sand for millenia. The land is useless, the ancient trade routes are gone, and the neighboring countries as insane as it gets. Not exactly a land worth dying for...

When you have no place else to go, then it is.

Also, at least the Israeli's have managed to make a generally profitable and first class state over there, though it was to the Palestinians detriment.

What, in the same way the allies were responsible for prolonging WW2?
If they'd just surrendered it would have been over quickly eh?

World leaders have figured it out, but the US vetos them every time.

Polls on BF2S don't mean a lot, especially if only 20-30 people vote.
