Israel/Palestine

(1,250 posts)They use Israel as a camera inside the region where the oil fields lay.
I'm guessing anyway.
I never quite saw what was so special about a desert anyway.
Why is this land "Holy"?
You would think a rainforest would be considered more holy, wouldn't you?
The whole country was built by illegitimate means anyhow.
Just like what was done in Africa, Europeans just decided all on their own that this parcel of land is now a country & shoehorned people into a box that should never had been built.
Just like "Iraq" & "Iran". Meddling from outsiders not in the know.
What's even funnier is that the Israeli government are doing to the same thing to the displaced people of the land that Hitler did to the Jews in the first place.
And it didn't even take a half-century to do it!
Israel is propped up by European powers including the European descendants in the United States.
I believe HALF of our international problems will be over if we cut this albatross loose.
This fight is no longer about religion it's about "You killed my brother, you killed my mother, I'm gonna kill yours!"
Just for Tit for Tat shit, that's all.
Ain't gon' never be peace until somebody finally kills the other off.
I'm sure some of the citizens of Israel & Palestine caught in the middle would rather just figure out a way to coexist.
Regardless of how the box was put together, the box is there now so how do we live in this box without killing each other?
Can't do that when the Israeli government doesn't WANT co-existence & the angry displaced groups want payback.
It's ALSO a problem with the whole general region.
Neighbor governments are antagonizing the situation too by funding warlike groups.
USA wants that oil so they keep playing around in a region that has no direct relevance to themselves.
By funding Israel they TOO antagonize the situation.
I couldn't give a damn about Israel.
You don't see America doing all this crap for Liberia, do you?
That's a land artificially constructed to put displaced African slaves just like Israel was supposed to put displaced German Jews.
There are conflicts & wars all over the world but America is so focused on Israel.
Why?
I don't even think it's about the religious aspect. That's for the peanut gallery.
Whatever it is it's some money & control thing going on.
All I can see is oil but I bet there's lots more.

P.S.: Netanyahu wouldn't be so cocky if he knew USA wouldn't lapdog everything he says.
