The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

By the way, you are celebrating ethnic cleansing here.

No he's not. You were having a civil difference up until this. Back off, there is no celebration.

There was at one point a great chance that the Palestinians would come to terms with the Israeli. Iran, Iraq, and a few other countries intervened and didn't let that happen. IIRC Arafat was given arms as it promised to rid itself of terrorists and Arafat reneged. I remember Arafat stating that there were new terrorists that wanted all the Jews dead, and later on we found out he was right.

Israel does deserve to have its own nation-state. No discussion of imaginary nation states will change that as it's an academic discussion, not a practical political one. What's happening to the Palestinians is horrific, and Israel should cease, but Hamas need tgo be taken out of the equation and the Palestinians meed to show they can police terrorists.

I despise what Netanyahu has become but that doesn't help end the problem one bit.
