O/T This as got to stop.

I am unable to agree with the full detail of any of the alternative spins on history that appear here. Up to a point, I think it a little pointless to debate the origins of the creation of Israel and the wisdom (or otherwise) of it. The fact is that it happened.

I would argue that what amounted to a land grab in Palestine was always likely to provoke hostility to Israel. There is no military solution to that and the hostility is being perpetuated and deepened by the current behaviour of the Israeli state.

The current behaviour was in response to women and children getting massacred. That just doesn’t seem to resonate with some people. You have to be naive on their part to expect anything else other than defending itself. Now I do understand that there are limits to defending yourselves. Unfortunately that’s for Isreal to decide and right now they want to obliterate Hamas. I would suggest that’s the right move. You know that organisation that raped and murdered babies.
You reap what you sow.
