    I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy.

    But when a side has a 1000:1 kill rate and it’s actively trying to remove/cleanse/genocide the other side from its foundation…

    Hamas exists because Israel

      80 years of making the wrong political decision at every fork in the road.

      Always on the wrong side of things.

      Eventually that catches up with you. No matter who you are.

      That is what we are seeing unfold in Gaza in our present times.

      Walking out on the U.N. partition plan negotiations back in 1948 was a tragic mistake, and it’s only become more disastrous with the passage of the years and decades since then.

      No musician or singer poncing about on stage like an uninformed idiot before a crowd of even less informed idiots can change anything about those facts.

        Here is a simple take on this. I’m living here near a little town on my little half acre of land. Then some people move in beside me on their little half acre of land and they have support of the nearby town and several counties giving them the land and the house. It’s not the best land in the area but they get it for free. Now I’m sitting here on my little half acre minding my own business and the nearby town and counties decide that hey we’re going to give the people that just moved in beside you a quarter of your land and I go no you’re not so I put up a fence they come in and tear it down and take it anyway. Now my neighbors on the other side of me they want to back me but they’re afraid because my new neighbors have the backing of the local police and sheriff. So they just stick to their own business. Well I’m not very powerful but I’ll go out there and I step on my old stolen piece of land and I put up a fence again. This time The neighbor comes out with guns and start shooting my cats tears down the fence and says well we’re going to take a little more and so they take a little more. So we kind of settle into an uneasy fuck you across the fence for a while. Eventually my neighbor sees that hey my land is growing corn and stuff and it’s nice and flat so they decide that that’s what they want to so they decide one day they take down part of the fence and they move it another 50 ft intake my whole front yard now what do you think I’m going to do? I’m going to fight the whole time cuz I got nowhere to go. Then my neighbors decide they want my fucking house too so they come over start shooting my cats and throwing my shit out in the yard setting it on fire all what the help of the local police and sheriff. Now you tell me who the terrorist is?. That’s a rhetorical question.

        If Palestine agreed to give up the most fertile part of their land, to the government that just invaded and genocided them, do you think Israel would have stopped?
