Shutting down the gates and limiting the number of people and setting up an age limit. Why do Israel care who does and who doesn't pray in Masjid Al-Aqsa. Its not theirs. And its certainly not up to them who prays and who doesn't.

As always. My prayers go to Palestine. May Allah save them.

exactly, so palestinians should be entitled to a state. Also all the conflicts between palestine and israel was fairly recent so no land grab should be normalized

Yeah. Im largely on the palestinian side. I think the best option (as in most practical) is the 1947 partition plan, just because theres no way the Jews will pack up and leave.

Hahaha yes you learned well from Chairman Mao in this regard!

The Israeli's have the bigger guns and know to use them better. Hence they managed to defeat the palestinians and a number of arab invasion attempts and have earned their place in the world through the sword. Like most other contemporary nations btw whose borders and being were forged with blood and even the current world order who deep down represents the outcome of World War II.

Lets imagine this scenario. Muslims lead an uprising in London. Saying that London was promised to them by God. So, would you allow a Muslim state to take up 50% of England although they are the obvious minority. And set London as its capital and its sovereignity over it in the name of Englandistan?

For me, that is more and not less reason to not give some group a state. I'm not going to reward weakness more often than not. I'm far more impressed by dominant groups or empires. Why would the stronger faction give any concessions to the weaker or defeated faction where that isn't necessary? What is in it for them?

Only those peoples who've won successful wars of secession or independence should be given a state.

Sai doesn't consider them crimes. He considers then "acts of patriotism."

That may've been an outcome. I mean, if Nazi Germany won against any and all belligerents it was at war with, who exactly is going to hold his regime to account? Short of being outright defeated, Nazi Germany probably would've been contained by the rest of the world's major powers until it collapsed from internal strife if the regime wasn't stable.

It depends. History is written by the victor. If we go by Robert Harris Fatherland alt history, maybe we would have now a lot of memorials about the Holodemor and various stalinist atrocities instead of those of the Holocaust etc. Who knows.
