Middle East Conflict

[The blue phantom]

What land have they taken and when?

It's just a simple Yes or No

What land have they taken and when?

Well, that's the end of any serious debate about the situation.

 

[The blue phantom]

Well, that's the end of any serious debate about the situation.

Eds has form for this on here, He's the Netanyahu of Bluemoon.

 

[BayernMan]

Well, that's the end of any serious debate about the situation.

The personification of it is better to keep silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubts.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I’d suggest that anybody protecting Israel or denouncing Palestine have a personal interest in this. The seriously nasty right-wing government shows all you need to know about who they are and what they are about.

People really need to educate themselves before churning out typical prejudiced statements and I wonder how many of you have actually visited the region or lived in an area where you have less than a minute at any time of the day or night to run to a secure underground bunker to protect yourself. The issue in the middle east is complex and isn’t a simple yes or no. But in simplistic terms, one side wants peace the other wants total destruction of a country. As Golda Meir is all edged to have said over 50 years ago, ‘Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.’ Abuse me all you like, it’s water off a duck‘s back but there are two sides to every conflict. Peace is the goal, sooner rather than later and without further bloodshed.

Fair enough - can you just elaborate as to which side it is that wants peace?

Would have agreed with you before Netanyahu. He wants never ending conflict because he sees it as the best way of staying in power. And that’s what it’s all about for him. Since he came to power in 2009 there has been no significant progress in any peace talks. Rabin, Barak and Sharon all made efforts to make progress but in spite of Israel being in its strongest position militarily Netanyahu appears not to want to bother and would rather keep the conflict simmering.

Would that area where you have to run to a bunker be a formerly Palestinian area now occupied by Jewish settlers?
