When even friends and family don't want you, that says everything you need to know. Did Egypt open its border to save the Palestinians? No! Did Jordan? No! Did Lebanon? No! Did any Arab or Muslim State? No! Maybe friends and family know something that we don't. What's the point of being Woke if you're blind?

In 1973, drug testing was not an advanced science.  |

I would say the reserves are a little overstated Sig.
If there are 10TCF in the Palestinian region it will be a very useful economic stimulus.

I don't think it's a blow to Israel's international standing but it is proof that antisemitism is evident at every level in the world.
The one issue is that Netanyahu is no saint, but Hamas are orders of magnitude more evil.
All this while the Arab states are behind the Israelis in this conflict, they are sick of the Palestinians who make the Middle East less stable for no benefit to them.
The seeds of the Palestinian crisis were born in WW2 German concentration camps where the Arafat's family and others learnt their skills.

Bibi is scared of the 2 State solution. He must think if Israel levels Gaza that people whose families have lived there for 1,000's of years are going to give up. Other Arab countries don't want Gazans because if they accepted them, Israel would become even more bold. It is well understood that Jew and Muslim lived in relative harmony until the Zionist movement gained traction in the late 1800's, early 1900's. |

Of course, I don't count slavery, forced servitude, and paying danegeld as "relative harmony." Historically most Muslims consider them SOP, even today.

It had become customary to blame the European Dark Ages on Germanic invaders following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Not so ... as the Germanic tribes largely took over the collapsing Roman order. From the late 700s onward, the west Med coast became a barren wasteland from continuous Islamic raids and conquest. The infrastructure destroyed and the populations carried off into slavery. The East Med's fate was sealed with the sack of Constantinople in 1453 ... followed by the conquest of the Balkans. The Ottomans were finally stopped at Vienna in 1683. So ... a thousand years of the so-called Golden Age of Islam. So ... if not for the West and East Europeans, y'all might be speaking Arabic today. The traditionalists still say that ... once part of the Caliphate ... always part of the Caliphate. The Islamic Peace is the Peace of the Graveyard and the Slaveyard. There were NO golden magic moments. |
