    The Palestinians have been pawns in a bigger game being played in the Middle East since 1915, before then it was a quiet backwater of the Ottoman empire where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in relative peace.

    Funny you should mention the Ottoman empire....as Erdogan's involvement in this Gaza conflict is very much due to him fancying himself sultan of a new ottoman empire....of course Iran probably most happy to use Erdogan's arrogance to their advantage...who's the tool and who's the fool

    Yes, we've sent billions of dollars in military aid to Egypt and Jordan over the years.

    Their best chance now is to stop all armed resistance, bow to their Jewish masters then expose Israel for what it is, an apartheid society, then the world will back them because the world does not like apartheid societies.

    Oh please... why do people always call the jew state "apartheid"... when a similar White Christian state [if there were any left] would now be called "racist" !!

    I'm sick of the double standard that treats jews with kid gloves... and can't wait until those gloves come off !!

    You mean the same world that set Palestine aside for a Jewish homeland after world war II when you know Hitler tried to wipe them from the face of the planet? You don't deny the Holocaust do you?

    If you understood Luke 19, you'd understand the irony of what you posted.

    What's wrong with an apartheid society.... do you know what apartheid is? Because you sure as hell picked the wrong person to say apartheid to twice in one sentence.

    The Jews cannot accept 'right of return' for Arabs. That's odd because the Jews want
    'right of return' for themselves. The Jews are fine with a 'two state solution' but the Arabs
    want 'right of return' as WELL as 'two state.'
    Right of return for Arabs would mean the return of the Palestinians to modern Israel. That
    is the end of modern Israel. The Arabs can go back to Egypt, Jordan, Syria or Lebanon,
    but Jews don't have anywhere else to call home - the Jews belonged to Palestine from the
    Bronze Age. Someone said that Jews have been driven out of over a 100 countries - wish
    they had mentioned these countries as that figure seems high.

    Israeli Arabs have more freedom and prosperity than do West Bank and Gaza Arabs.
    Freedom is not a big thing with Arabs as it is with say Americans, French or English.
    Hamas is both political and a religious organizations.
    I support Israel, but not necessarily all of its practices. This latest one is a surprise
    to me - going to war over what, six houses?

    Excellent. But this didn't happen everywhere. There WERE strategic places where Arabs were driven
    out (as would any army) but on the whole the Palestinians thought to harm Israel in the eye of the
    international community and Arab nations by refusing to stay in their homes till the Jews left.

    When and how did the world set Palestine aside for the Jewish State, do you have any idea what you are talking about?

    Its segregation, by religious, racial or ethnic means, it literally means Apart Hood. Now you got any solutions to how the Palestinians can stop being used as pawns or did you just come here to virtue signal?

    Its not 6 houses - its continuous land grabbing - been going on for 70 years - in violation of the agreement by which they exist each time.
    Israel was "given" its own state .. with boundaries - and they keep on violating those boundaries - and causing chaos in general in the ME.

    Now really relishing the idea of nuclear war in the ME - Israel is breaking the rules - and being allowed to get away with it .. Targeting civilians in Iran .. you should see the coverage of this on Al Jezerra .. the ME is in a tizzy over this.

    Because the last White Racist state was called an Apartheid State, and separation by racial, religious or ethnic grounds is exactly what is happening in the Jewish State.

    A stable middle east is the last thing Israel wants, there has to be an existential threat to Israel for it to justify its existence in its current form.

    Not sure about 'targeting civilians'
    Why 'target civilians' when there's plenty of Islamists to target?
    Yes, the Palestinian land is being nibbled to death - it's about time
    they did a genuine peace treaty with Israel and not put 'right of return'
    road blocks in the way of a genuine settlement. Otherwise you are
    still at war, and the spoils will go to the Jews.

    Zionist means, I understand, the return of the Jews to their land.
    This land was taken from them by the Romans.
    Hamas will not give any Gazan freedom if they managed somehow
    to take back the whole of Israel.
    If they did take Israel then Hamas would fight with Fatah in the
    West Bank. And then with the Palestinian refugees who claim right
    of return. And they would fight with Islamic Jihad, and maybe the
    Jordanians, and certainly against Egypt. And then we have the old
    Sunni vs Shiite conflict, and what role Iran will play in Palestine etc
    etc etc etc etc

    Not sure why they do it either - specially not in Iran - stirring the pot - I am not partial to Israel's actions but, my main issue is the US getting dragged into these ME quagmires - we should be building roads - investing in technology - ramping up to compete in the 3rd millennium..

    instead we throw it down the ME toilet. - arming Islamists rather than killing them most of the time.
