I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.
But now it’s like watching two children fighting over who’s sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can’t learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.
So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?
Middle eastern people have been fighting each other for thousands of years.
They will continue to fight each other for thousands of years.
Thanks religion, which ironically Islam has its roots in Judaism, same as Christianity
Tl;dw - European empires fucked everything up and we’re still living with the aftermath. Plus oil.
Doing that doesn’t teach children to share - it teaches them to avoid getting caught because both the abuser and the victim will be punished, so even as the victim it’s best to keep your abuse private.
My most immature take on that whole thing is that I wish we could evacuate all the people and then nuke the everloving shit out of the land to make it uninhabitable for a few hundred years. Then let it be a weapons testing site for the world. Just take the whole fucking thing off the board.
Like I said, immature take.
I’ve been tangentially connected to that area for the better part of 20 years now. Nothing has changed for the better, Israel is worse than ever, Hamas is worse than ever. The assholes that dumped the jews there post ww2 did the whole world a disservice. That country should be Palestine, not Israel, but neither side behaves the way they should. So it’s damn near moot at this point.
This question poses an existential challenge to its community.
(For the brain wormed: this is a stupid question)
