Israel or Palestine?

[Shahinesian States]

This has been quite a subject of debate.

I'm on the side of the Palestinians. What about you guys?

[Yootopia]

Neither.

[Farnhamia]

Oy vey. This is not going to end well. Or at all, kind of like the Palestinian problem

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

I'm on the fen...

Nah, I shouldn't say that.

[Redwulf]

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Two groups of assholes squabbling over a sandbox like children.

I'm curious, to what extent are you "on the side of the palistinians"?

Two state solution or the end of Israel?

[Maurepas]

neither

Are you saying you finally have a solution?

we could always give it back to Britain......

Moses, the very prophet of Judaism, wasn't even born 3000 years ago. 3000 years is how long the Jews claim to have had the land. They also claim that they where the first. Truth is, the Palestinian blood has been flowing through that desert for more then 7000 years.

Your point?

Nuclear weapons solve many problems.

Proof for all of these claims, please. From multiple sources, on both sides, just so we can see what people reckon. And a third party which wouldn't really give a fuck, like Iceland or the Congo or something.

My point is, that Palestine is Palestine, and it has been for a hell lot longer then the so-called "Israel".

This debate isn't really heating up. Let's hope a Jew comes across it and lights a spark in this thread.

So how is that relivent to the issues that face Canaan in 2009?

So?

For a really, really long time, lots of people died of cholera. Things Being The Way They Used To Be isn't always a good thing.

Prove it, and tell me why it matters now...

[Farnhamia]

Well, "Palestine" derives from the name of the Philistines, who probbaly didn't arrive in the area until around, oh ... 1200 to 1000 BCE. That's around 3000 years ago, not 7000. Before that the area was known as Canaan.

Do we need a lesson on why irredentism is bad?

[Shahinesian States]

It's the fact that the Palestinians lives in this land for a very long time. Then the British came along and decided to oust the Palestinians from their homeland and make room for the Jews that don't belong there.

[Musicolo]

dude. everyone needs to stop selling them guns so that they will fight until they are fight with bricks and they're country is in distress. and then they will shut the hell up. and find some common ground and peace. IMO anything else is just stereotypes and long grudges for example: "palestine was there first!" "israel has a right to the holy land!"

[New Central Europe]

Just make it a colony of Albania.

How is this relevant to today?

Heating up? So you are trolling, looking for an angry response from a Jew? Tsk.

[Non Aligned States]

Neither. Israel and Palestine are firmly in the hands of warmongering nuts with visions of holy grandeur, don't like competition, and encourage racially charged fanaticism in their populace. It doesn't take with all of them, but enough to ensure that even if these nuts were taken out back and shot, a new set of nuts would take their place.

Unfortunately, I don't see a practical way of getting an amicable peace in that miserable clod of dirt, not one that anyone would fund anyway.
