Statements like this need to followed up with "or else!"
No word about the killing of civilians?
The last thing the US wants to bring up in discussion is the killing of civilians, I imagine. We killed hundreds of thousands just in Iraq. (And that's not counting the embargo we had against Saddam that starved a million people and gave rise to Al Qaeda either.)
AfGazastan incoming
So many empty hateful comments here miss the fact that 70 years ago was 70 years ago, and since then a whole new generation of people are living in the region. Israelies who don't feel obligated to have Israel but don't want anti-Semitism abroad, and palestinians who don't mind staying where they were born, inside the 48 borders, but want a decent live inside of it. No leader from any place on earth is working towards them. Israeli leaders want the whole country for themselves, and Palestinian leaders also want the whole land for themselves. Neither is plausible without serious loss of life. So stop being so one-sided and actually acknowledge there are two sides to this conflict, and that all parties are reaponsible. Israel would give anything in the world to have peaceful rulers in Gaza.
that 70 years ago was 70 years ago,
I don't have a row to hoe in any of this but that alone tells me you're full of shit and apologizing for some evil asshole somewhere in the conflict. The past is always gonna matter whether you want it to or not.
….or else? Santa’s gonna leave a lump of coal?
