You ain't Jewish, Arab, Asian, or Middle Eastern. You've got no skin in the game. You've got battles RIGHT HERE that you should be taking up.
I've studied the situation, and I have no sympathy for them.

That is Israel's land, and if they want to stay there, they need to realize that.

Your sympathy and a nickel won't get a cup of coffee at a hole in the wall. Forget that...they don't want your sympathy.

They just want you to stop meddling in their affairs. That conflict is none of our business and we shouldn't be putting our finger on the scales of power over there.

Study all you want...there are two people claiming one strip of land. And really, it's NOTHING to us as Americans which group has it at any given moment.

LMAO @ "that is Israel's land." SMH...please.

I'm all for staying out of it, and I even said we shouldn't give Israel a nickel.

However, it is Israel's land, and they can go tell the Palestinians to suck it. That's my advice to them.

The unofficial position is to fragment the West Bank so badly that a two state solution is not practical. Every president since Nixon took issue with their actions, this will not bring peace to the ME.

True that I got ahead of myself but you wonder which of his handlers thought this was a good idea.

Israel could meet every demand the Palestinians want and it will still be attacked with suicide bombers and missiles aimed at populated cities, not military targets.
This is what happens when you teach your children to hate Israel and kill Jews as soon as they can walk and talk. That's the barbaric nature of many of the Palestinians who by the way, were never part of a nation called Palestine. They were citizens of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan. They never had their own state. Palestine was never a country, but a region on the map.

They can either go somewhere like Jordan or live as Citizens of Israel under those rules and laws.

Aren't you forgetting that thanks to Harry Reid the Democrats don't matter?
