I say give the Palestinians the "proportional" response many in the world are calling for. So tomorrow, Isreal should launch 3,000 rockets indiscriminately into Gaza and that would be a proportional response. How is anybody going argue with that.
And yes, the Biden administration is fueling this by giving money to Hamas that will purchase rockets from Iran with that money and negotiating with Iran to give them more money to promise something we know they will not give.
This is madness. Ask what the US would do if Mexico launched 3,000 rockets into Texas and there is your answer.

...According to the Jews. The Arabs, who have nearly the same story, claim it's their land for the exact same reason.
yet they did not actually found Jerusalem. he who gets there first wins
>yet at the end of WWII when the British Empire was being unwinded by the British because they no longer had the resources to maintain .. and control it
The transition actually began in 1922 when the League of Nations was portioning out the corpse of the Ottoman Empire. Britain got Palestine because in 1917 it signed a proclamation that they support a Jewish ethnostate.
as i recall by the end of WWII the British weren't so keen on that anymore and the US took that up
>the British offered the Palestinians Jerusalem as part of their new nation. they turned it down. you know why? because the US also backed creating a homeland of Israel for the Jewish diaspora to claim and settle as their own nation.
True. However, what gives Britain, the League of Nations, and eventually the UN the right to do this?
None. i'm not a fan of the U.N. and i'm getting the sense you aren't either
>How much land do you think the Palestinian's arab brothers in Jordan, Syria or Egypt would give up for their "brothers" to have a homeland? not one hectare i bet.
You're correct in saying zero, however, the Jews are the intruder in this case, they are not owed land. It was not the Palestinians' responsibility to give the Jews land, and it's not Syria, Jordan, Egypt, or Lebanon's responsibility to give either side land.
you aren't getting my point. never said they were. in 1946 the second biggest point the Palestinians rejected an offer for a homeland is that they wanted more land and the other regional Arab nations i mentioned wouldn't give any of their own land to the Palestinians. the real reason was they opposed the creation of Israel. even after that happened there was land available for them and they rejected it.
Furthermore, the Israelis have been the aggressors in the region since their founding, with terror cells attacking Palestinians and Brits while the Brits still occupied, occupying Egyptian land in the 50's, and then instigating the Six Day War in the 60's.
that is just totally false. from the day Israel was created the various arab states attacked Israel with intent to destroy it. should they not have fought back? advance the time line into the 90's when Israel for it's own protection did occupy areas like Gaza you might have a point but remember why they did that in the first place. the Gaza plateau is a high point and who controls the high point controls the region. Palestinians were using it to launch missile attack into Israeli territory.
At the end of the day, I don't care who wins. It's barbaric-ass brown people killing each other, which happens all day every day for the last 10000 years. I'm just tired of paying for it. No one's the good guy.

i generally agree with that. it isn't our problem and i'd cut off all foreign aid to Israel. they have in fact received the largest share of the zillions we've doled out over the decades, over 100 billion by now last i checked.
Israel is not some third world backwater shithole. it's a modern prosperous nation. why are we giving them money still? you might have justified it up to a point in time while they were still a fledgling nation but that hasn't been the case in decades. they can buy all the fighters from the US they want but why are we still giving them a billion dollars a year in aid? we gave them 3 billion in 2019.

Thanks for the thorough explanation. Unfortunately, I suspect the majority, on this political board, will watch it sail over their heads.
I also wanted to note, I REALLY dislike the phrase "barbaric-ass brown people".

Back to the OP. Anybody else believe that the Israeli military identified the MSM as enemies as started at the top of this thread?

I think the official story is that Israelis had identified some Hamas terrorists inside the media building.
Al Jazeera claims that they destroyed the building to stop them from reporting the news, implying there weren't any Hamas terrorists in the building.

I'll buy that Israel wanted to take out the Al Jazeera offices. Al Jazeera doesn't always shoot straight like a lot of MSM and there's plenty of bad blood between them and Israel

Al Jazeera broadcasts what one might consider anti-Israel and anti-American sentiments. They don't seem to be nearly as horrible as the American media, though. I've never heard of them until recently, but I'd rather watch them than any of the bullshit networks in the USA.

The thing to keep in mind is that they're the state media of Qatar, so there is going to be some bias involved. However, they tend to shoot straight enough for the most part that the BBC, AP, and Reuters all cooperate and trade info and sources with them.

The first disregarded fact is that there is no real thing as a Palestinian. The entire region is known, or was known, as Palestine. So a Palestinian could be Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or Zora Thracian. When the UN divided Palestine to give a home to the Jews, who had a claim on the land going back 3,000 years, the Jewish leaders offered homes to the displaced people. The Grand Mufti of Jordan, a Nazi and anti-Semitic, ordered the Muslim/Arab people to leave the borders of Israel. He promised that they would return and dance on the bodies of the Jews. He, not the Jewish leaders, are responsible for those who are called Palestinians not having homes. Strange that no a single Arab country would take in the displaced people, their people. They kept them in small camps around the region to grow a new generation of bitter, hateful terrorists. In subsequent wars started by the Arab states, Israel expanded it's territory. Israel returned Gaza to the Arabs, which included the so-called Palestinians. All they had to do with build a country...but they didn't. Israel built a lot of their infrastructure but Hamas destroyed it. Go to the Mid East and see who is growing and prospering and who is sitting in their own shit.

Anyone understand why I got points for my remark? I see that someone listed "chinese person", what? That doesn't have anything to do with what I wrote. I also mentioned ovens. Being Jewish is not a race. I had that argument with my little brother when he was about twelve. Strange that it still isn't a known fact.

This is what I call bullshit on though. No one has a claim to any land. You take it with sword and musket.
If we're giving people back their land because they "have a claim", all of our asses are moving off this continent, and we're giving it all back to the Native Americans.
