Palestine!

[wimp]

All the jews going on about how James Corbyn is anti-Semitic, I disagree! Anything to distract from Brexit!! My concern would be the persecution of the Palestine people.You don't hear much about their rights,certainly not from Donald Trump,Theresa May, or the BBC. Who stands up for the Palestine people ?? I will .They will never have peace as long as *** like Trump and May are backing Israel!!

oh Gawd as one deep thinker says a lot
is that what is happening...

Have we achieved world peace on AB yet?

it seems obvious that as the Israelis are on the Americans' side that it will not disappear over night ...as the chief political imperative

Well, it's been going on on and off, yeah; but I would have thought that between, say, the 8th and 11th Centuries, and then the 15th and 18th, it was (relatively) quiet in that neck of the woods.

There's clearly no solution as long as neither side accepts the existence of the other, to be sure -- but I am not sure I'd agree that the problem has been around in a real political sense for the entirety of post-Byzantine history.

I'd like to remain optimistic, anyway.

Jim - The Israelis DO accept the existence of the Palestinians, and want to live in peace with them.
Five times the Palestinians have rejected a two state solution.

Jim, With a simmering pot, I’m not sure what a ‘political sense’ really means. Sometimes the heat is turned up, other times it’s turned down I guess. Hmmmm…. none of that means the stove ever goes cold though. Still, if you’re optimistic….

Time for bed. Night night.

[jim360]

Well, it would make a pleasant change for me to be optimistic, right? :P

Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, cannot live in peace with each other.
What chance of them wanting to live in peace with the Jews?

This is why Israel CANNOT withdraw from the West Bank.
Wimp, I think the responsibility for the violence, that kids are caught up in, lies squarely with the Palestinian Arabs.

[wimp]

Theland So children will keep on dying.Yes Palestine has to take responsibility too but America and Israel have a lot to answer to,they are not blameless.What with Trump spouting incoherently the situation will not improve.America needs to keep out,but they never do!!

[naomi24]

wimp, the bottom line is if the Palestinians stop the Israelis will stop because they will have nothing to respond to.

[sandyRoe]

But the Israelis won't stop. They'll continue to build, 'facts on the ground', on Palestinian land. They have no interest in a 2 State solution and their actions prove it.

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, wimp is talking about children dying.

[wimp]

sandyRoe...You are correct,Israel will never stop building so the sad situation will continue!

[naomi24]

Crikey sandyRoe! You must be telepathic! That’s the first time wimp has mentioned building! Amazing! ;o)

I'm not sure whether James Corden would support this or not.
