If we could just reverse course and they could go back to their long history of peace in the region.
What I do not understand is you pointing out WW2 as some turning point of the west getting involved in the middle east.
It was after WW1 that the Allies defeated the Ottoman Empire...who was fighting with the Germany and Austria/Hungary as part of the central powers...that is when Europe started having a large influence.
In WW2 Palestine was sided with Germany.
In both cases...they lost...losing has repercussions.
No question there was an outsized amount of people from the west now in middle east.
Just like the others that lost...they did not get complete control for a good while.
Germany and Japan also went through the same occupation...and they made the decision, eventually, to become part of the world and get along. Not so much for large portions of the Middle East...they were more concerned with who was the right kind of Muslim or who was the correct Abrahamic religion...and had no problem killing each other over it. Basically only Saudi was like hey...we are going to be Muslim and maybe not be all that modern culturally...but going to stay stable enough to get rich off their oil.
Thinking the West caused the problems in the Middle East is ignoring that region was almost always in a state of War before the West existed.
AP story about people attempting to get to Israel to serve. Citizens being called up. Citizens volunteering. And, non Israeli Jews who feel compelled to assist in any way they can.

Some Israelis abroad desperately try to head home — to join reserve military units, or just to help
At the most harrowing of times, some Israeli citizens living overseas aren’t running from the war at home, but to it. From Athens to New York, they’re rushing to airports and diving into online chat groups for help.

SIAP-A Brazilian family who had just moved to Israel had a child murdered at that music festival. Because they did not know anyone and needed at least 10 people to make an official Jewish funeral they announced it on Facebook. Thousands of people showed up.
She's wrong. See how easy this is?
Amswer me this, how is it the supposed "open air prison" that is Gaza, that can supposedly not be run as functioning state bc of Israel's tight controls over everything including importing and exporting of goods, is somehow able to import thousands of missles, firearms, rocket launchers, grenades, assault vehicles etc...? Maybe, just maybe, Gaza is a hell hole bc the people running it want it to be a hell hole and have no interest in improving conditions. The world needs to wake up and realize this isn't an Israeli "occupation" problem, it's a Hamas/Hezbolah/Iran problem. If Gaza wanted to become a thriving modern city, it easily could and Israel would welcome it completely. But until that happens, the terrorist networks need to be crushed until they're gone, no matter how long it takes.

Honestly last weekend it seemed like there were a lot of junk posts even here on GIAOT. Wouldn’t surprise me as we are the beacon of the free internet.
Palestinian majority elected Hamas,.. those that didn't support Hamas should have fled long ago.
IMO Hamas’s plan was to sacrifice thousands of Palestinian lives to paint Israel in as bad a light as possible to try and drum up Arab support.
They slaughtered civilian Jewish people knowing the only response had to be brutal military action.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me. Shows you how awful Hamas is.

I've been avoiding this thread, not because I'm not interested, but because unlike Ukraine/Russia (where it's easy to be on the correct side), it's really easy to say stupid things when it comes to Israel, Gaza, West Bank. And that goes for whichever side you support.
There are a LOT of really bad, simple non nuanced comments regarding the hostilities and proposed solutions, and very, very few good, astute observations.

This happened a lot in the Ukraine war thread. It was usually clips from DCS (Digital Combat Simulations - module based flight sim) though.

I'm suspicious that this thing got out of control for Hamas,.. Decapitated babies and burnt corpses don't build support for your cause...
Southern US border... "I'm fleeing Hamas",... "Right this way sir, welcome to America"...
Jordan has tons of amazing history and sites.

Pretty good boats those wily Palestinians have. Just a quick trip out the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic and through the Gulf of Mexico, right? 😂 😂 😂 😂
Thousands of 'special interest aliens' from Middle East countries stopped at southern border since 2021: data
Border Patrol agents have encountered thousands of "special interest aliens" from countries in the Middle East in the last year two years at the southern border, data shows.
In your opinion, Why is that?
I think this is a very important aspect of this whole situation.
The US southern border is currently being crossed by individuals coming from all over the world, and Palestinians fleeing Hamas would actually have a valid amnesty claim,.. Their choice however. They can remain in Palestine and die a senseless death...
Great post.
I'm about halfway through this podcast series that a buddy shared with me and feel like it provides a lot of great detail into the history of both sides and their current conflicts. It's long but if you have some time, it's really interesting and provides some good perspective.
Here is Part one:
Although it's pretty obvious this is fake....it's going to be harder and harder to discern real from fake moving forward.
As deep fakes get better and better we're gonna have a real hard time separating truth from fiction....
Just assume everything you read is slanted by the organization or person writing it. Because....it is.
Shocking some of you morons are ruining what could be a useful, informative thread.
My fear is Israel is going to go complete scorched Earth. They are going to want 10 lbs of flesh for every one taken and this will start to spiral.
Yep this will not bring peace. I don’t have an answer. Thousands more are about to die.
Why wouldn't they?
What is the appropriate, measured response to decapitated babies and children burnt alive?
