People can study the history of these middle east conflicts and drill down into as much detail as they like, but it all boils down to one thing: RELIGION. The opiate of the masses, the comfort food of the emotionally hungry, and the cudgel by which the powerful keep the rest of us in line. They are all alike, and always have been. Mine is the one true faith. Mine is the one true church. Mine is the one true god. Believe what I believe, or we are enemies.
No it's not new. But there are matter of degrees of alert status. And these will be elevated substantially.
Israel became a state on May 14th, 1948. Israel was attached by the Arab coalition on May 15th, 1948. Literally day one of statehood.
You must be too young to remember events like the Six Day War and the War of attrition, both taking place in 1967; the Yom Kippur War in 1973; the Lebanon war of 1982 ... in fact, here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Israel I'm convinced that there will never be peace between Muslims and Jews.
It started 100 years ago, and its been ongoing ever since. You're a terrorist sympathizer and antisemitic to boot. Israel and the Jews have a right to exist.
Lol at your fallback position of claiming anyone who attacks the Israel government must be a terrorist sympathizer and antisemitic. Unlike you, I promote peace and do not consider any life as less worthy of another life
We should be helping them bomb as many Iranian targets as possible. I'm happy to hear they bombed it. Very good news.
Respectfully, it won't work here. The Palestinians don't want to live as a peaceful neighborh. Their goal is no Israel. That's why there will never be a two state solution.
No question, the issue is complex, and has been for years. I don't pretend to have any solution 2-state or otherwise. However, the fact that something is not a solution does not validate other actions. Killing creates widows. It creates fatherless sons. It creates brothers who lost their siblings. It creates an opposition army of hate for generations to come.
I attacked your false claim that today's war is based on a circumstance from 100 years ago. That's patently false and presented falsely to serve your agenda.
A lot of times it involves a person like Antony Blinken, a person with a proud family history of NEVER fighting for this county, being more than happy to send the little people into meatgrinders of no American interest. All the decision makers in America's elite appear to have this trait. They and their family would never deign to risk their own lives and and yet they are all frothing at the mouth to send better people than themselves into conflicts. They never see a conflict that they don't want to engage in. The decision makers must be forced to risk their own lives and the lives of their loved ones. If the conflict is really that important to them, they should lead by example. Any persons concerned about the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine should be encouraged to strap on rifle and go fight. Leave the rest of us out of it.
And after all the London bombings by Irish terrorists over the years did the US offer to help by bombing Belfast? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_Great_Britain
