    Agree, except last sentence. Their objective is to kill Hamas soldiers regardless of impact to civilians. And the U.S. is complicit providing the 2000lbs bombs they are dropping.

  3. World leaders are scary when they begin to think about their 'legacy'.

    Putin,Xi,Netanyahu.

    Will they be remembered for 'existing' in the shadow of their nemeses or for 'overcoming'.

    Ego is the greatest threat to mankind.

  4. No offence to the Americans but I didnt include US leaders due to the fact that I believe the US presidency is more of a popularity contest.

    The big decisions are made behind the scenes,the president has become merely a mouthpiece.

    Again,I dont mean any offence by that,its merely an IMO observation.

    The US is definitely not the only country affected by this scenario.

    In any project,you have the charismatic bringing in the business and the sharp witted,smart and,yes,cunning,steering the ship.

    Netanyahu has a heavy responsibility in how Israel has become. He's been in government and power longer than most and his Likud party has shaped right wing policies that are key to today's open conflict. Likud has been elected and reelected for decades, thus a majority of Israeli support its agenda.
    Maybe it's worth repeating, Israel has a right to exist and to live in peace and prosperity with its neighbors. In reality, there are external and internal forces that are constantly undermining that goal. Externally, Iran and others want the return of Israeli land to Muslims, the "from the river to the sea" slogan.
    Internally, right wing and fundamentalists are actively pushing boundaries, taking land from Palestinians like mafia thugs pushing people out. Their vision is one of Israeli expansion to their promised land.
    Consequently, there will always be segments of the respective societies that are victimized by the other, and there's no doubt in my mind that Likud and Netanyahu are complicit because they have no interest in seeing a Palestinian state.
    Yes, Israel must be taught humility by its closest ally the US to frame support contingent on meeting goals, like the recognition of a viable independent Palestinian state.
    Israel also needs safety assurances from its neighbors, not to protect it but to prevent the formation of armed movements looking to destabilize the country. For that, all Middle East nations should recognize the state of Israel per its existing borders.

    According to this, the Promised Land is to be given to both the Israelis AND the Muslims. The land was promised to Abraham before the birth of his two sons and is to be given to Abraham's descendants through his two sons with his elder son Ishmael representing the Arabs and the Muslims and the younger son Isaac representing the Jewish people:

    Original promises in Genesis[edit]
    God is claimed to have spoken the following promises to Abraham in several verses of Genesis (the first book of the Torah), which a modern English Bible translates to:

    The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." – Genesis 12:1
    The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring [or seed] I will give this land." – Genesis 12:7
    Later in what is called the covenant of the pieces, a verse is said to describe what are known as "borders of the Land" (Gevulot Ha-aretz):[1]

    On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates – the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." – Genesis 15:18–21
    These allegedly divine promises were given prior to the birth of Abraham's sons. Abraham's family tree includes both the Ishmaelite tribes (the claimed ancestry of Arabs and of the Islamic prophet Muhammad) through Abraham's first son Ishmael and the Israelite tribes (the claimed ancestry of Jews and Samaritans) through Abraham's second son Isaac.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promised_Land

    So the land situation today is exactly reflecting what was promised in the Bible, with the Israelis occupying Israel and the Muslims occupying Palestine both occupying the Promised Land as described in the Bible. It says "To your descendants I give this land" well the descendants included both the Israelis and the Muslims so the Israelis have a right to live in modern-day Israel but the Palestinians also have the right to occupy the Promised Land.

    There you go!

    Not to defend the mafia, I would never. The mafia is a mountain of shit.

    But... The mafia rarely kills children. The mafia also don't bomb their enemy's village.

    Hamas and Israel state are coward child killers. The international crime court’s chief prosecutor wants to issue an arrest warrant for both their leaders.

    Only the worst of the worst get this type of honour.
